All Indiana is Boasting About the New

Blocks

One of America's Most Modern Stores

You have every reason to be proud of the new Block's. It is one of the finest stores in the entire country. Modern as Radio City, it is the first place visitors to Indianapolis want to see.

We want you to feel that Block's is your store, because your patronage made it possible. All these gleaming new escalators, glamorous restaurants, fine store equip- ment and broad, spacious aisles were installed for your convenience.

No matter how we change externally, how fast we grow or how grand we get, our basic purpose in life remains the same: Always to give you better and better values, at the lowest prices consistent with quality.
