Innovation on our Old ideas OF business, but no
one watching the crowd go in, and catching
Rnnpsts OF the smiling faces coming out, can
doubt that it has proved a SUCCESS,
On entering the store Il first gance fails to
fully impress with the vast ness aud value of
the display. Hundreds or counters piled with
every shape aud style OF COATS PANTS and vests;
rows OF cases of hats and shoes, shirts and
derciothing and other coun ters loaded with the

or store room, which is all on one floor, aud is
suhdtvided into the different departments for
receiving, cutting, making, selling and deliver
ing goods, all of which attended to with that
systematic care which coins reputation and
money.
Nearly two thousand hands are in the employ
or the establishment, and one fourth of these
are engaged in the store. While the utmost
regularity and strict discipline Is necessary in
dealing with so many employees, one of the
most notable and novel features of the man.
ageInent is the attention required to be paid,
not only to buyers as any business place might
do, but to visitors. They shown through
the place courteously, and after inspecting its
many wonders are left to wend their wayhout
without being asked to buy.
