Former Liberty House The Macy's remodeling of what had been the Liberty House stores has made stacks of office equipment, store fixtures and a wide range of other items obsolete.

They will be sold at auction tomorrow morning at the Macy's distribution center at 92-262 Oihana St. in Campbell Industrial Park.
The goods will look familiar to any regular customer of Liberty House but McClain Auctions, which will conduct the sale, said people are unlikely to find anything with a Liberty House logo on it.
There will be rolls of carpet, sofas, tables, shelves, jewelry cases and other display fixtures. Items will include refrigerated cases, store mannequins, chairs, filing cabinets, fabrics, silk flowers and their pots and the decorations the stores used at Christmas and other holidays.
McClain Auctions said the items will be on display at the auction site tomorrow from 8 a.m. until the bidding starts at 10 a.m. Buyers must be prepared to take the goods away with them after the auction.
Macy's West, a California-based subsidiary of Federated Department Stores Inc., bought the 18 Liberty House department stores in the islands and a handful of resort and specialty shops for $200 million in July and, just before Thanksgiving, renamed them all as Macy's.
The company has been steadily renovating the stores and changing the image and the merchandise to reflect the Macy's style.
