LOwenstein Bros. at the Front with an
Immense Winter Stock.


Always feeling deep interest in any
thing that tends to improve our city,
we are highly gratified to give more
than passing notice to the great i'm
prOVements made by the enterpTisiDg
clothing firm of LOwenstein Bros, 20
E. Tuscarawas street. The history Of
Stark county affords no more striking
example of what pluck and enterprise
will do, than the extraordinary manner
in which this firm have pushed them
selves to the front. Coming among us
four years ago, utter strangers, we re-
collect how people predicted they "cOuld
not make 1t pay here" there are too
many stores here now" When their
first advertisement was brought to our
office we made the same remark, but
they smilingly answered, "NO city is so
crowded but that there is room for an
other honest man, and we intend to
transact our business on such basis as
will gain for us the good will and friend
ship of the community" How true their
words have turned out can be proved by
the majority of our people. The first
year assured the success of their venture,
and on the foundation then reared by
their systematic course of fair dealing
and courteous treatment they have built
up trade second to none in this part of
the State. Indeed, SO tremendous was
the continual rush that their store room
would no longer accommodate their
hosts of friends, and day after day dOz-
ems were turned away, vainly trying to
fight their way into the store through
the crowd of customers. Finding it inn
possible to display their mammoth stock
in one room, they were under the neceS-
slty to make some improvement, which
they succeeded in doing by building a
cOmmOd1Ous basement, which we had
the fortune of examining a few days
ago. Their store room is packed from
floor to ceiling with their new winter
stock of clothing, hats and furnishing
goods. From the centre of the store a
| cOmmOdlOus stairway leads the visitor
| to the lower room, which we were sur
prised to find fitted up in fine Eastern
style, and literally flooded with goods
enough to supply the entire country
The question of every surprised visitor
why, when do you expect to sell all this
stOck?" was invariably answered, "We
| don't expect to have dollars worth of
it left by Christmas The basement
representing one of the finest store i'm
| prOVements in our city, is 63 feet long
and 20 feet wide, and contains special
departments for boys suits, boys pants
childrens' pants, youths suits, mems
boys and childTens' OVercOats, hosiery
underwear, caps, rubber clothing and
trunks. The room is brilliantly illumi-
mated, and is one of the attractions OF
Canton. Every city has one leading
merchant. We can point as our repre-
sentative to the Philadelphia Clothing
| House Of LOwenstein Bros. Unsolicited
by them, we pay the above tribute tC
their enterprise and business integrity
and in noticing the improvements made
by them we merely wish to show an tx
ample how true merit will always bC
crowned with reward and appreciation
That the electric light of success will
always shine brightly for LOwensteiT
Bros. is our wish, and we know the sen
| timent will find an echo in the hearts Of
their many friends and customers.
