This was placed at the rear of the Fourteenth street side of the Elsvent'i avenue structure, and it increased the frontage on Fourteenth street to 120 feet Then the Gable store consisted of four stories and basement, spaci ous warehouse and a generous- sized garage so that the total space utilized by the firm exceed ed three acres.

The store's personnel likewise had been vastly increased to keep apace with the building expansion program, several hundred men and women being assigned to regular employment every busi ness day and nearly a nunarea othiers serving as extra and emer gency workers, subject to call and as part-time employes for Saturday duty and other peak-selling days. Since the completion of the Twelfth avenue stor8 building, the Gable company staff has employed as many as 700 persons. Regijv' personnel i members total about ouu so that the patronage of the em ployes and their immediate families has become an important feature of the store business, amount ing in itself to thousands of dol lars annually, and totaling enough to warrant the support of several fair-sized indivdual stores were they able to provide the numerous and diversified wants of such a group of men ar.d women. Not a few former department heads and other employes who left the Gable service have made shining marks for themselves in large retail institutions in other cities, which substantiates ths fact that the thorough traning they experienced through contact with Gable systems and methods of business operation is of the high type recognized end appreciated by the foremost merchants of the nation. This reflects jn a very favorable manner upon the founder and present heads of the local firm which throughout international retailing enjoys particularly high esteem.

And these ex-employes, despite their brilliant eucoess, remember the Gable store, their former employers and associates with kindliest of feelings and many have often paid the store a tribute by expressing a desire to be members of the Gable co-workers' group again.
