Watertown is soon to have a new commercial institution that promises to be an important factor in the commercial activities of the city. Reference is made to the launching of “The New Store” by E. E. Keukanf of Racine, in the Kronitz building, 206 Main Street. Mr. Keukanf stated to a representative of The Republican yesterday that he would throw the doors of his place of business open to the public on March 24.

“The New Store” will offer a new and attractive line of crockery, chinaware, glassware, tinware, shelf hardware, notions, toys and novelties. The new concern will deal extensively in 5 and 10 cent goods, in fact will make a specialty of that class of goods. One of the leaders will be a large assortment of candies, all grades of which will sell at 10 cents per pound.

The proprietor is interested in several other stores in the state. He impresses one as a very affable gentleman and thorough business man and will undoubtedly make a winner of it in Watertown.
