"Arthur" Leaves Smokeshop That Bears His Name--Will Take Over Lampoon "Jimmie's" and Lampoon Showroom

"Arthur" Clement, who for the past 23 years has been catering to the tobacco tastes of men in college, has announced the severance of his connection with "Arthur's Smokeshop" on Mt. Auburn Street, which he has been conducting for Silgrave Limited. He will go into business for himself next year, backed by a group of undergraduates.

Arthur has arranged with the Lampoon to take over the room which Jimmie's Lunch has occupied for the past few years downstairs in the Lampoon Building. Arthur will also have the Lampoon showroom permanently at his disposal, as the Lampoon has decided to convert Benny Hyte's tailor shop into a larger and better showroom.

Arthur said yesterday that although plans have not yet been by any means completed, he expects to start renovating the lunch room about August 1. so as to be open for business when college starts at the end of September. He expects to take the two long tables out of the room and replace them with smaller tables, seating about four or five men. An entire new kitchen equipment will also be installed, and the place entirely redecorated.

The former showroom will be converted into a smokeshop, much like Arthur's former shop on Mt. Auburn Street. The customary line of smoker's supplies will be carried, and the various bits of brie-a-brae suitable for sale in such shops.

"I aim to make this new departure," said Arthur yesterday when interviewed, "a gathering place for men who live in the dormitories in the Mt. Auburn Street district. There has never been anything that exactly filled such a bill and I think that there is a need for it."
