In 1929, Craigie was commissioned to design a new Department Store with Script error: No such module "convert". of shopping space for the firm of Lewis's Limited, who had bought over an old Glasgow firm, John Anderson's "Royal Polytechnic" known to Glaswegians as "The Poly".[19][20][21] He worked closely with Frederick Marquis (later Lord Woolton) who subsequently became Managing Director of Lewis's. They were most thorough in their planning and Craigie and Marquis toured the country inspecting all department stores with the object of ensuring that the new store would embrace everything that was good in its construction. They visited London, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham and incorporated all the knowledge acquired into the plans for the Glasgow Store. Craigie's biggest difficulty was to find a sure method of keeping the River Clyde out of the basement.[22][23][24]
