Martin & Son are planning terations to their store on Main The present store is a-large three- storey brick and the plan is to take off two of the storeys, change the front and make the' ground floor into two stores. At one time the rooms at the rear of the store'and the second storey were used for liv­ ing rooms but these have been va­ cant foi- some time. By taking down the partition which forms a hall on the north'side of the build­ ing the ground floor space will be considerably increased and this will be divided to make two stores. The rooms' to the rear of the present store will be converted into a piano showroom. The top storeys with their high ceilings are of practical little use and the new arrangement will make a considerable improve­ ment.
