A MERCANTILE SUCCESS BEYOND ALI
PRECEDENT.
The Grand Opening of the Fall dnd Winter
Season at Bium's Dry Goods
Emporium.

The celebration of the fall an
winter anniversary at the abov
establishment occurred today.
was a telebratien-no with fife an,
drum and other Fourth of July &C
companiments-but celebration il
which all the patrons OF the hous
had an equal part. Notwithstand
ing the entire absence OF music AM
flowers, the grand store was packed
from morning till night with al
eager crowd OF bargain buyers Mr.
A. Blum was asked by GRAPHIC
representative how he did it. Moth
in simpler" he said, Il never adYer
tise what have not got | nevel
advertise what l don't want to sci
at the prices named, and always
see to it that have in stock what
the people want, at the right prices
I keep the goods moving by a con-
slant revision of prices, THEREBY
having fresh stock all the time and
never carrying goods over from one
season TO another. That s the while
story"
We then began an inspection of the
magnificent display of dress goods,
which met cur eye at the entrance.
1t consists OF an endless variety OF
evening shades of silks, the latest
Partisan novelties of dress silks, an
immense line of handsome hapsack-
ing and hapsaeking plaids, hannels
and elder down and a bewildering
display OF all the recent importation
in robes in all colors OF the rainbow.
From these we passed to the depart
ments for linens, eorsets, hosiery fur
and fur trimmings, ribbons handker-
chiefs and laces. The articles repre-
scented in these lines are SO numerous
that we cannot do the attractiFe ex-
hibition justice by a simple de@lip-
ton. It must be seen to befulF APP
preciated. But the wonderful dis
play OF ladies and gents silk Under
wear deserves special mention and |
this feature was constant source I
of qualification to the lady visitors. I
The millinery department WAS as
usual a beautiful dreamto the femi-
nine vision. The enchanting group |
ings OF all the latest Partisan and
London phantasies inlbonnets and
hats, tips and feathers was highly
commented on, and lremarks that
such was never seen here before were
heard all over the pallor. The Win
dOws representing sunset and
camp-meeting with the allegorieal
cabin and campfire were inspected
day and night by aneage
OF people. Mr. Blum stated that a
special opening OF the cloak depart
ment would take place in the near
future, as owing to the hot weather
