I. Hamburger s. Sons are to-day remov-
ing their great clothing house from No.
200 Market street over and up to No. 220,
the old Crosby & Hill building, on the
same street, and tomorrow they will
open ont In their new store with the larg-
eat and best assortment OF clothing ever
offered in the city Of Wilmington.
The firm before occu pied the same
building, when they first came to Will
miDgton about year ago, but not being
able to get complete control of 1t, for
the purpose OF making snch changes in
the interior Of the store as they desired,
ttey removed TO the store which they are
now vscating. They now have complete
control of the Crosby d. Hill building,
with the exception of the second story,
which they will not get until religious
society, now worsbipping there, will re-
move by the 25th Of Marca next
The firm has made great improvements
in the building to which they are to-day
removing. The exterior has been neatly
painted light lead color, which makes It
look handsome and conspicuous above
the red brick frouts that line the block.
The interior of the store has been entirely
remodeled and much enlarged. The lat
ter has been effected by taking away a
partition at the rear making the store
so ten feet longer than 1t was. AL
coves for dressing rooms have been con-
structed at the south side under the stair
way, which still makes more room. New
and handsome shelving las been put up
on either side. The cash Office will be
near the centre of the room where It al
ways has been, 1t is cutdown and ceases
| to obstruct full view OF the room. The
Whole r, ON is papered IN the highest
style Of art, and with Hight beautifully
tinted paper. Altogether II will be much
the largest store In the city and will be
much the handsomest.
But the firm is by no means giving up
the store from which they are to-day re-
moving No. 209 Market street. This
they will place an experienced manager
over and change into q mammoth shoe

the clothing store. This change will go
changes can be made In the interior for
what is intended to be the leading shoe
ore in the city.
| With all these changes come other
changes but in the personal msnage-
ment of the clothing house Mr.. Henry
Hamburger, one Of the junior membe
OF the firm, has removed frcm Baltimore
to this city, and will, in stson, manage
the business here. Mr.. Hamburger is o
young man of an enterprising character,
rare busiDess taste, extremely otliginp
and accommodating ard cannot fail tC
become popular among the Wilmington
people. Mr.. Henry Clay Ward, the
former enterprise 'ng manager of the bust
ness 10 this city, will remove to Baltimore
and take charge of the retail department
OF their immense business there.
Though Mr.. Hamburger will be we!
coined warmly to this city, large c'rol'
of friends will regret the departure of Mr.
manly department have won for him
standing in society to which very few
young men have attained in one thor
year. Euterprising, no popular occasion
has passed In which his inventive 1 enius
did not bring out come popular displa'
that attracted attention and interes et
the public. The Presidential ele ection re
turn enterprise, the great Imitation Christ
mas dinner of nntionable notables the
Memorial day display and the all-summel
free ice wafer fountain are few of th,
enterprises which Will warm n Whining
ton public to the memory of Mr.. Ward
lie will be sent to the Baltimore depart
ment, where his splendid business quail
flcations can have larger field of opera
tlons, and where he can make himself
more useful 10 tte firm that so highly ap-
rreciatee him.
NJ. Ward, however, will not leave
Wilmington ior few weeks yet. He Is
now superintending the preparations 70,
a grand display of clothing ut the VIII
mington Fair, which opens next Monday,
and after the fair Is over he will still re.
main until the new stores are In success
full running operations. Mr.. Ward will
always be a welcome visitor to Whining.
ton. Mr.. James ii. Wight, tho right.
hand business man of Mr.. Ward, will re
main In Wilmington as Mr.. hamburger
chief assistant.
The firm has been q wonderful success
In Wilmington. Enti.e strangers when
they entered the city, by fair and hones,
dealing thsy have worked their way into
public estimation until they are now The
leading clothing merchar is. and under
the new management, 1t may safely he
predicted that their popularity and pros.
perity will still go hand In hard and on,
ward and upward.
