Opening OF Guinnip 81 Co.'s New store

Opening OF Guinnip 81 Co.'s New store
1t is seldom that persons coming from other
cities can enter into business and build up a
large and prosperous trade in such short
period as have the members of the firm of
Guinnip & Co. They are, however, gentle
men of indomitable push and energy, who be-
lieve in Washington and its future growth
and prosperity. They have not been afraid
heretofore to carry large stock of goods, al
though their old location was not considered
by them rs good as some others. With q con-
slant increase in their business, they were
finally obliged to secure more commodious
and convenient quarters. When the two large
stores opposite Odd Fellows hall were vacated
by Lansburgh & Bro. Messrs. Guinnip d Co.
secured lease and at the earliest opportunity
commenced their alteration. Under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Guinnip these stores
have been entirely renovated, and to-day pro-
sent as light, airy, and cheerful an appearance
as any stores of the same size i'll the city.
Yesterday they werc thrown open to the pub
lie, and although the day was anything but
pleasant large throng of visitors and pur-
chasers were present
The four large show windows were taste
fully filled with brilliant colored goods, while
the counters and shelves on the inside were
covered with all the varieties of goods neces-
sary to make so large an establishment COM

A palace, indeed, aud justly so may it be
called a kings palace, for in spendor and
magnifcence it cclipscs anything we have
ever seen. Washington ought to be proud of
its Kings Palace, Such magnificent display,
such array of fashion and beauty, is truly
wonderful to behold. All we can say to the
ladies Of Washington is, do not miss the
greatest treat which awaits you at Kings
Palace. TO live in Washington and not to
attend Kings Palace opening is to forego a
pleasure which you will regret all your life.
The splendid array Of patterns, hats and
bonncts; the lovely flowers, and plumes, and
ribbons silks and satins, and all other novel
ties in the millinery line. The artistic array
speaks of the highest skill aud art, not alone
OF the proprietor, but also of the employees OF
this famous establishment We are informed
this great spring opening is to be continued
until otherwise notified for the benefit OF
those who could not attend on account of the
inclemency of the weather. We advise all
