Wright, Kay & Co., 238 Woodward Ave., are now finally installed in the ground floor quarters of their remodeled building. The store front and display windows are of the most modern design and make a fine impression on shoppers on Detroit’s main thoroughfare. The new location is being impressed and standardized in the minds of the public by striking colored lithographs in the street cars, showing a close up view of the store corner, up to the first floor. The firm occupies the entire building, but the pictures show only the immediate corner to make the store front more striking and familiar to the public. “Our new corner” is the only text that appears on the street car card, in addition to the firm’s name and address.
