ACCOMPLISHED IN A YEAR.
How. One Firm Has Quickly Reached
Success in Business.


What may be accomplished by business
integrity. enterprising methods and de-
termination to keep faith with the public
has been illustrated here in Washington by
the success of Mr.. NJ. Goldenberg, who
celebrated the close of his first years busi-
ness in the District yesterday by a fall
opening at his large and attractive stores.
Nos. 90 and 92s 1th street and No. 10G K
street. Mr.. GOldenberg established his
original store at No. 92S, but soon found
necessity for extending his facilities, and
!2t' was added. These two stores. in con-
ncction with the annex, 1"G * street, have
been fitted up in the most approved mod
ern style with elevators, approved heating
methods, cash systems and everything that
pertains to d first-claSs house. This is
especially true in the stock carried liz be
vildering variety in the various depart
mHHts of the large establishment Mr.
Godenberg loHg ago realized the value of
advertising. when such public announce
mcnts are backed up by honestly keeping z
the promises they contain. ard the large
thronsss of eager purchasers who are con-
stantly patronizing his counters give ad-
ditiOnal evidence of the success that awaits
such a course. The manager of the busi-
ness is Mir. Isaac Goldenbers, who is as
sisted by large corps of experienced and
polite and attentive clerks. Where there
tractfve things it is almost impossible to
Specialize, hut at VI. Goldcnberg's no one
can fail TO be struck with the rich display
I'm the cloak department, which contains
the choicest and most exclusive designs
in fall and winter wraps. The silk de-
partment is also remarkable for its variety

a most popular place with shoppers who
