Dunstable House

, This well-known drapery and groF eery establishment has recently underi gone considerable improvements at ) the hands of Mr W. D. Nicholas, builder. Mr Cottrell found it necessary owing to the extension of his business, to have the premises en* larged, and it is to be hoped that the present additional accommodation pro* ' vided for the display of goods will ! lead to a still further increase of busi- ' ness. The building now has a frontage to Manchester street of 40 feet, , with a depth of 26 feet, together with . a verandah of 10 feet. Mr CottreU ' intends setting apart the right side of k the old premises for the display «l ladies' millinery, &c, at the back oi which two rooms, fitted up with the necessary appliances, will be devoted to dress and mantle making. Thin department of the business will be under the personal supervision of i Mrs Cottrell, who, as a modiste, is 5 well-known to the ladies of Feilding, j and in her hands its success is assured. The left side of the old premises will be set out with gentlemen's drapery, ' clothing, hosiery, &c. The new por- . tion of the building — a commodious I and well-lighted room — will form the grocery, crockery, and ironware det partment, adjoining which there is a t building set apart for the storage of > produce and other goods. The • improvements effected are very striking, and when the building is painted L ..throughout, as it is shortly to fee, it . will make an attractive addition to the business places of Manchester ," street. Mr Cottrell's business energy is deserving of encouragement, and we are confident his outlay and enterprise will meet the success they deserve.
