AAAo SoPisoi. SIMON
'Strict attention to business was his first
motto, and Advertise in The STAR was the
second. Business could not fail to come to
such man, and he soon took possession of the
whole store. In 1887 the quarters were over
crowded and then the firm moved down to its
present location, having purchased the valua-
BILE site and erected a fine building
at an outlay Of S35,OOO. Every
floor in the building is now devoted to the bust
ness and it is only question of little time
when the premises will have to be enlarged.
They are the sole agents for the popular light
running new Home sewing machine. 1t is SO
simple that child can manage and operate it,
and its work is remarkable. They keep eight
delivery wagons busy all the year around, and
the territory assigned to them covers the Dis
trict OF Columbia, Alexandria, and parts of
Prince Georges and Montgomery counties. A
complete repair shop is one of the specialties
OF the firm. Duplicate parts for sewing ma
chimes and other machinery are made, and all
kinds OF sewing machines can there be put in
thorough repair. This branch of the business
is managed by the senior member of the Arm,
Simon Oppenheimer.
Gustave Oppenheimer associated himself
with his brother in 1876. He was born in WASH
ington, and was educated in the public schools

timely, seasonable stock Of goods at fair prices
mas been the principle on which he has con-
Quoted his establishment. Although only
started two years ago. his business has reached
such proportions that he is considering plans
for increasing the accommodations of his store
room. Besides dealing in all kinds of drugs
and druggists notions. he has made a speciality
OF putting up prescriptions, and recently he
has established large laboratory which he has
placed in charge Of a competent corps of
chemists. Here he manufactures chemicals
and pharmaceutical preparations. His BUSH
ness is now one of the largest in the city. 1t is
remarkable record for young man. Mr..
Mertz was born in this city, and when boy
entered drug store in the humblest capacity.
For ten years he was a clerk in the employ Of
Mr.. J. r. Major. He became familiar with the
business in all its branches and then, always on
the alert for an opening to something better,
he thought that he saw a chance of establish
ing business in this city. The result of his
experience for the past two years has demon
strated the correctness of his judgment.

Mark Twain's Mistake.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
Is it not passing strange, the manner in which
a writer thoroughly informed upon his subject,
will now and then perpetrate lapse of the pen
30 palpable as to be almost astonishing? I
know OF no book more compactly filed with in
formation upon an interesting subject than
Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi" and
yet on page 1872 Of said book, he says this: 80
straightway some genius from the Atlantic
coast introduced the plan of towing a dozen
steamer cargoes down to New Orleans at the
tail OF vulgar little tug boat, and behold in
the twinkling of an eye, as it were, the associa-
ton and the noble science of plotting, were
things Of the dead and pathetic past"
NOW, Tor landsman to offer q correction to
this author upon q matter Of this nature seems
infinitely worse than carrying Goals to New
castle, and yet the great humorist has made a
slip Of the pen calculated to be very mislead-
ing. The towing business done upon the great
western rivers is simply immense, but ii is not
done behind vulgar little tugboat. The tow
boat OF the west is o strong, substantial. stern
wheel steamer, fitted with the most powerful
engines, and instead OF pulling her STOW" by
eastern tde-waters, her ten or dozen barges
are firmly lashed together until they form one
solid mass, and this solid mass she pushes from
behind. In this manner the immense coal
fleets from Pittsburg, as well as the large car
goes OF bulk grain from st. Louis, are pro-
PEELED to their destination. Owing to the
shifting sand bars and swift and treacherous
currents especially In the Mississippi, a stow
strung to line behind tug would soon come
to total and most expensive grief.

been SO long established in the premises now
occupied by them. BY hard work close appli-
cation and continual effort to supply the de-
mands of an exacting public, the business has
grown beyond expectation and the firm now
has very large trade. Mr.. F. s. Williams is
always at the store. personally experimenting
the several departments of their stock and sales.
Their prescription business is large and in
creasing rapidly. and they employ only those
whose qualifications meet the requirements of
the law and the rules of the profession. They
make 1t a standing rule to use none but the
purest drugs and chemicals. This firm manu-
features largely those household remedies ap-
proved for their medicinal effects, and find
ready market for all such articles; they also
keep in stock all the standard patent medicines
and since they deal solely with the manufac-
turers they are enabled to sell these at the low
est possible prices. The public is kept thorough
ly informed on the condition of the immense
stock, The STAR being the medium through
which the information is impaired.

SUCCESSFUL IN TRADE.
REWARD OF THRIFT And ENTERPRISE.
BUSINESS MEN OF PROMINENCE.
Who They Are and How They Have
Prospered.

Washington may not be able to boast of any
Mays or Wanamakers, but she has a
right to claim good word for her
scores of energetic merchants who make
up. in their sum total, for the smaller scope of
their enterprises. They keep just as fine
stock, sell them at just as high and as low
prices, make just many friends and show
just as much spirit and vim in many other ways
as though their stores were as large as the
Paris exposition, or their trade as extensive in
its scope as that of the proverbial crossroads
store, that keeps anything from a needle to a
haystack to lose it in, tin whistle to a sewing
machine. Hence, Washingtonians should
have cause for signing and wishing that
there were more elephantine places of bargain
and trade in this city, for they have here
just many and just successful real
business men, in the true sense of the word. as
any other city in the country, with due regard
for the relative sizes of the localities. The
general influx of capital from outside cities
has affected the rank and file of the business
men. the merchants, as much as any other
class, and during the past five years a surpris
ing spirit of advancement has been developed,
buildings being erected, stocks enlarged. prices
going down. and altogether even more liberal
ideas carried into execution. The advance in
this line Is even greater than in other cities,
and the trade of Washington is to-day in a
fiourishing condition. The STAR this week
presents a number of samples, each one a firm
deserving even more success than has come to
il. which has been the result of far-sighted
policy in the way of extensive advertising.
There is not one of the following -mentioned
gentlemen but who has no hesitation in pro-
claiming that their good fortune has a suSstan-
tia part of its basis in the lberality with which
they nave spread their trade notices in the col
umns Of this paper. and thus before the entire
population of the District.
Mr. GEO. J. JOHNSON.
The continuation of business is the best in
dication of its welfare. and in no instance does
this rule hold good to greater extent than in
the case of Mr.. Geo. J. johnson, who has been
identified with the dry goods trade of Wash
ington for nearly half century. He was born
in Westmoreland county Va, April 20, 1925,

the possibilities of the field, bought out his

as being permanently settled here, and ex-
presses great satisfaction with the trade that
Mr.. William sold to him and that he has at
tracted himself, the latter portion being Of
considerable importance. Indeed, SO fully
have his expectations been realized that he
intends, during the coming year. to make ex-
tensive alterations in his store that will accom-
modate the increase of his trade. He will tear
down an old stairway in the front, enlarge his
windows, widen his store, and occupy the sec

imports the finest stock that is obtainable in
any part of the world. and has a magnificent
array of such dainties on his shelves and coun-
tiers continually as cannot fail to cause, first adj
miration, then debate. and finally purchase.
He always sets forth the advantages to be de-

was organist of Brown Memorial Presbyterian
church for five years. Since his residence in
this city Mr.. Butler has given number of
organ recitals He is the organist at the CAL
vary Baptist church and the 9Th street syna-
gogue, and his proficiency in handling the in
strument is due to the mastery of the princi-
pies of music His knowledge of music enables
him to judge accurately of the tone of an in
strument, and this faculty has been of great
service to him in business. Since he opened a
store here he has found business that was
very satisfactory in every respect. He carries
a large stock of pianos and organs, which bear
the names of the following makers: Decker
Bros, Weber, Fischer and Estey. Mr.. Butler
is in great demand in all parts of the country
to give organ recitals, and at one time he trav-
eled quite extensively playing in different
cities, but the requirements of a growing bust
ness have compelled him TO confine his profess
sional work to this immediate vicinity. Mr.
Butler recognizes the value of advertising, as
the columns Of The STAR show.

BUFFALO BILLS FATHER.


From the Denver News
An old-time resident Of Denver q day or two
since related an incident Of the original "Buf-
falo Bill Cody, father of the present famous
Snowman, which has never been in print and is
worthy of place in the Ne,cs. Old man Cody
was prominent figure on the plains in an
early day. being the owner of an extensive
trading post on the Arkansas in the vicinity
OF old Fort Larned. Late in the SOS he
received information that the Indians pro-
posed to clean out his ranch, which was an
extensive adobe building surrounded by q
stockade. He did not pay much attention to
! IT, but the same news continued to reach him,
and was at last confirmed by the arrival of a
large band of Cheyenne and Arapahoes and
klowas who camped on the opposite side OF a
deep arroyo from the trading post, across
which the military authorities had erected a
bridge for the passage Of supply trains The
savages pretended to be very friendly, and
wanted to trade, swapping furs and skins for
ammunition, but their real object was to burn
the post and carry away Codys scalp as trophy
"a fact of which the old frontiersman was
well informed through the spies whom he
had among them. The place was we'll armed,
but not sufficiently marned to resist the attack
OF so formidable band of red skins and Old
Bill cast about to see what he could do to pro-
tect himself. In the stock yard Of the fort was
an old howitzer, which had been abandoned by
oohC VI VIC pAdlus uliutdIN tApculuOn6, ana
this he carried up to the top of the post and
placed it SO that it would sweep the bridge He
had plenty of powder, but no other ammunition
fit to load it with, and so he charged the gun
with old mule shoes, nails, bits Of iron, and
similar truck.
The cannon loaded, he awaited develop
ments, Early one morning he observed an
unusual movement in the camp of his pre-
tended friends, and soon fully armed, with war
paint on, the savages made dash toward the
fort. Cody was at his howitzer, match in hand.
The painted devils crowded the long but mar
row bridge, and just as the foremost reached
the nearest bank he discharged his gun at clear
range of the bridge. There was wild howl of
disappointed rage, a vision of dead Indians
tumbling in the arroyo, of legs and arms and
heads lying around loose without claimants,
and fleeing and frightened savages escaping
from the fatal bridge. Cody's single shot had
saved his post, and he was always thereafter
left in peaceful possession of his ranch. Just
what struck them on the bridge the Indians
never knew, and the survivors Of the fatal
charge always entertained the firm belief that
Buffalo Bill was in league with the evil spirit,
and, as such, person to whom it was safe to
give a wide berth.
