Two new store fronts are adding to the bright new look in downtown Kaukauna.  The J. J. Martens Company on Third Street has installed an open style of front which lets the shopper view the entire store.  The S. J. Berens store is getting a complete new front sidewalk to roof.  The glass work and glass door will give the store a look in front with a view of the entire store.
