the majesty of the law. They were

Allen was stripped to the waist, and,

SUCCESS OF AN ENTERPRTSING FIRM.

At this Of the year. when the business Of
most large retail firms shows morbid decrease as
compared with Christmas trade, and working forces
being reduced all sides. the firm OF Ludwig
Baumann & Co. has such experience. On the
contrary, its sales show a marked increase and.
instead OF discharglng numbers Of statesmen, this
large firm OF household providers has been COM
PEELED to employ new ones. The increase in buel-
ness has also compelled the firm to hire special de-
livery deliver goods TO purchasers in spite
of the fact that 1t employs regularly thirty five
double teams.

ably rapid growth. Eight years ago this branch
started business in single wareroom and its career
since then has been successful that to-day 1t oc
cupes the greater part of the block between Thirty
fifth and Thirty-sixth SITS.
Tho credit for this uncommonly successful growth
from small beginnings il largely due to the energy
and Keen business sense Of David Froech. the junior
member Of the firm OF Ludwig Baumann & Co.

promptly had jewels set in the backs of
their gloves. Following the invaria-
