That week, the paper carried a 20-page supplement about the business and its sites in the town.
The first gallery covered the majority of the department store, which was located in Strait Bargate.
This gallery features more of that shop, plus sister outlets: Oldrids Contracts, Insiders, and the Man Shop.

Another angle on the ground floor of the Man Shop. The first floor was home to 'separates', including 'conventional' and 'fashion' jackets in checks, patterns and plain colours, trousers, knitwear, and a choice of raincoats, suedes, sheepskins and heavy and lightweight coats. Photo: Boston Standard

The second floor of the Man Shop was devoted entirely to suits. Of this area, the Standard wrote: "The accent will be on a leisurely approach to buying. Customers, and their wives, will be able to sit down in an easy chair, flick through a magazine, and generally take it easy, whilst settling down to the serious business of choosing a new suit or evening wear."
