land, Throw Open Their Store.
The mere announcement that on Sat-
urday, September 80, would occur the
| third anniversary opening of MessTs.
f. NJ. McGillin & CO.'S elegant retail es-
| tablishment was sufficient to bring the
ladies out in full force, in spite of the
threatening weather, and from early
morning until ten o'clock in the even
ing their store was thrOnged with ap-
preciative visitors and purchasers, for
to see, was to buy. For the benefit OF
the readers of the Plain Dealer who
were unable to attend the opening, we
| will give brief description OF the es-
tablishment and the elegant goods dis
played.
The firm always shows fine taste in
the arrangement of their windows, but
on yesterday previous efforts were sur
passed. The west window was devoted
to suits and fur garments of beautiful
design and quality, and the east window
to lace curtains and millinery. Even
the most needless passerby could not
fail 10 be attracted by the magnificent
display.
Upon entering the door the attention
was at once attracted to
THE MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY
made by the dress goods department.
The endless variety of fabric and color
affords greater opportunity than ever
before for the exercise Of Individual
taste and fancy. The stock now on
hand is the largest ever shown, and the
ladies will find it t. their advantage to
make early selections. In the next de-
partment, devoted to silks and velvets,
the display was superb, and there would
seem to be no limit to the beautiful
color effects produced in combination.
Pushes, so much worn this season, are
seen in all the new shades, and are very
effective. The display in gloves, hOsi-
cry and notions is very fine, and adds
materially to the general effect.
The millinery department is located
on the second floor, readily accessible
by elevator, and is certainly the largest
and most complete millinery establish
ment in the city, being everywhere
quoted as authority. Flower are shown
in generous prOfusiOn, and so perfectly
has Dame Nature been copied that where
natural and artificial flowers are group
ed together it requires the incest care to
tell where the natural ceases and the
artificial begins. The display of plumes,
tips and fancy feathers is the largest
and most elegant ever made in this city,
and attracted much attention. In hats
and bOnnets there are 80 many shapes
and styles shown that even the most
exacting cannot fail to find one that is
Just the thing. In days gone by, there
was one universal style that all must
wear, whether becoming or not. Now
individual taste may be exercised to the
utmost, and the milliner becomes an ar
tist.
For misses there are several new styles
of hats in soft shirred velvet, made
without frames. The tOque is very
styl sh and the fez in plush and velvet
Is very handsome for children.
A speciality is made of fine roll grapes
ranging in price from "a to So per yard.
In ribbons many new and beautiful
shades are shown, among which cadet,
terra Gotta, bronze, baby blue, and
bright shades of garnet and cardinal
are particularly admired. The exquis-
ite taste displayed on every hand in the
arrangement of this department called
forth frequent
EXPLANATIONS OF DELIGHT
from the thrOng Of visitors.
As the writer cannot do justice to the
department devoted to ladies' under
wear and infants goods, it would be
well to pass to the third floor and enter
the cloak and suit department. The
greatest possible variety in ladies wraps
Is shown, ranging from the cOmmoner
styles to the richest seal goods. In me-
dium priced garments great variety of
price from $50 to 800.
Among these the latest is silk, fitch
lined garment that Is very attractive.
Silk garments lined with plush in Vari-
GUS cOlOrs are very stylish, and are offer
ed at a moderate price. Those who
wish to make their own wraps will find
large stock Of silks, plushes and fur
trimmings from which to make their
selections. The line of shawls Is COM
Indias at 5000 to $3.50. limitations with
real India borders, $50 to $65, and Dec
cas- at $25 to $40.
One of the most prosperous depart
ments is that devoted to merchant tailor
ing. The stock of suitings is not sur
passed by any house in the city, COM
prisiug, as it does, all of the very latest
designs and cOlors Of foreign and do
nestle manufacture. Three cutters are
duced are sufficient proof of their skill
The fourth floor Is mammoth carpet
store, complete in every detail; and the
large increase in its sales from year to
year is readily accounted for after an
inspection of the stock and prices.
NOVEL EFFECTS IN CARPETS.
are shown in MOresque and Marie An
tOinette and a floral design on tOrQuOise
blue ground was much admired. Brus-
sells effects are very closely initiated in
ingrains and are quite popular.
Curtains and artistic draperies are
speciality and many very beautiful de-
signs are exhibited. Persian rugs are
in great favor, and selections may be
made from great variety of Daghes-
tan, COOla, Mecca and GhiOrurdes pat
terms.
In this model establishment even the
basement is utilized as salesrOOm. 1t
contains several large stores within
itself, each one carrying a complete as
sortment of everything In its line. Its
shoe department is becoming widely
known as headquarters for the best
goods at prices usually asked for the
common article.
The book counter deserves special
mention, and their efforts to supply the
general public with standard works at
jobbers' prices is meeting with great
success.
The immense display of china ware
and novelties in Chinese and Japanese
goods gives this department the appear
ance Of grand bazar, and its effect
upon the eye Is greatly heightened by
