This transaction wiU mark the end of ten years of the Public Square store's history under the MaoWtlliam's name, dating from the store's purchase from Jonas Long's Sons in 1916.

The culmination of the deal comes as a matter of great moment to local business circles, as it brines to WHkee-Barre one of the most famous mercantile institutions of Pennsylvania, an old established firm of notably strong financial standing and of outstanding; commercial ability. The particularly favorabls conditions of the transfer indicate the great promise the Pbmeroy firm seea in local conditions for business expansion, and to many people suggests the increased business activity to be expected In the valley's future. Under the terms of the agreement, every MaoWUliam'a creditor will be paid in full. The total amount Involved In the transaction comes well over the two million dollar mark. The first business days of the new firm will be devoted to an.

extensive stocktaking which will necessitate the closing of the store. The length of time required fop this Inventory Is uncertain, but It is considered likely that the store will be closed for only the earlier part of next week, after which it will be opened, with a special event, under the namt rf Pomeroy's, Inc. The Wilkes-Barre store Is thif first new store to be acquired by Pomeroy's during a period of forty years, tho last Pomeroy store having been founded in Pottsville in 1887. Other Pomeroy stores are the original store at Reading, founded in 187G, the Pomeroy store at Harrisburg, founded in 1878, and a smaller store at Pottstown. dating from 1885.

The new store here, while fifth in point of date, will be the third Pomeroy store in volume of business. The Pomenoy system, while closely allied in purchasing for its five stores, strives t9 keep each store entirely individual In character. It is connected with Syndicate Trading' a cooperative buying association of eighteen great American stores through which It secures immense buying advantages, and has become well known for the exceptional nature of its merchandising ability. No general change will take -place In the roll of the store's employees under the new management, and It is felt that little or no Immediate change will be planned in the character of the store, as it Is the intention of the new owners to carry on to the fullest extent the traditions and time-honored policies of the store.
