HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.
The Giant Celebrated Its Eighth Birth
day--Additional sAIesroom.

0ay-Au0itfoH&i 64ieeFoom.
Today is the eighth anniversary Of
the founding of the Giant Clothing
Company in Grand Rapids. Eight
years of hard, energetic work, close at
tentiou TO business details and an ever
present desire tn please patrons and
give full value in goods for money
received have placed this firm in an
enviable position among Grand Rapids
business houses. Following along the
line Of progress that has marked the
course of the Giant for the past eight
years. Mr.. A. May, the proprietor, has
recently leased an additional store IN
the basement directly under the main
salesroom aud fitted it up for An ex-
elusive overcoat department.. A re-
porter for the Telegram-Herald had
the privilege Of inspecting this new
department yesterday and Was sur
prised at the handsome apartments and
furnishings. One feature particularly
noticeable was the Hood OF light that
extended to every part OF the room.
There Is probably no other overcoat de-
partment in the city IN which Gus
toner can so well see TO examine the
quality and texture Of the goods he is
purchasing as in the new overcoat de-
partment of the Giant Clothing Co.
Overcoats may not be Just what Wis
itors to the far this week will want to
purchase, but "a stitch IN tune saves
nine," and If ovsrcoat buyers will re-
member the Giant Clothing Co. when
the time comes 10 purchase they viii
save money. In the meantime visitors
and all Grand Rapids people are invited
to inspect the Giants stock and money
can be saved On clothing. hats, or
meme furnishing goods. The policy oi
tne Giant ia the future, rs in the past.
will be to cave money for the people
and to give full value for money re-
ceived. Give the Giant = cali.
