Faith in the Sanity City,

When the announcement was first
made that the Hanan Shoe Company
had decided to go out of business in ST.
Paul great regret was expressed by all
those who were lovers of fine footwear
and so much pressure has been brought
to bear by many influential men here,
who have the welfare of the city and it's
many business enterprises at heart.
that Mr.. Hanan finally came on from
New York to look over the ground thor
oughly and see what was the best thing
to be done.
For the past week or ten days he has
been carefully looking for more commo-
dious quarters in a location that would
| be better suited for the fine footwear
| trade.
He has at last secured the large store
at the corner Of Sixth and Wabasha,
Which Is at present occupied by the
! Mck1bb1n Fur company, and will take
! possession on or about April 1st The
| transfer of the lease has been made, and
the Hanan Shoe Company have already
| plans for the establishment and i'm
provement Of the interior under way
| The new store will be entirely remodel
ed and ref1tted, and the appointments
Will be such as are rarely found out
side Of New York or Chicago.
When opened it Is intended to be the
most unique and handsome retail store
in the Northwest. A metropolitan feat
ure will be an elegant carriage entrance
on the Sixth street side, in addition to
the grand entrance on WabaSha street
Mr.. Hanan was questioned In regard
to the disposition of their present quar-
ters, as it is we'll known that their lease
runs until May, 1897, to which he re-
piled that they would simply suitcase
their store On East Seventh street as
soon as they could dispose Of the stock
fI,Nxy l. n
intention Of removing any odds and
ends or old stock to the new store, but
that in the new store they would have
a strictly new,up-to-date stock through
out.
The announcement on the part of Mr..
Hanan Of his confidence in st. Paul and
the citizens of the Sanity City to sup
port a metropolitan Shoe store will in
deed be received with pleasure by St
Paul people. as they would regret ex-
ceedingly to lose such a fine establish
ment as the Hanan Shoe Company
maintains.
The Hanan Shoe Company have the
enviable reputation of being the largest
retailers and manufacturers of fine
Shoes in the United States. They have
stores in twenty-five Of the leading
cities. Each store carries a stock as
large, comprehensive and complete as
Is usually found in any two stores il
the same locality. Their goods have {
national reputation, and they are the
recognized leaders in their line. TIL,
new store will be furnished with a com
plete new stock, and it's furnishings an(
,, arrangements will be far ahead of any
thing ever opened in ST Paul. 1t woulc
indeed be an eyesore and sad blow t
st. Paul people had Mr.. Hanan adhered
to his original idea and given up hi
, ST. Paul store, for when a man of hi
discernment and who has made the sue
y cess in life that he has gives UP hope 0
a city, that city must indeed be dead t.
the world from a business standpoint
But now that he has secured a favora
BILE location, there seems no reason VIII,
r he should not make the success he ha
already scored in other cities.
For the next six weeks the Han
( an Shoe Company, as may be seel
on page 8, will quote price
such as should sell all thef
stock in their present location on Sew
, enth street, as they are determined no
: to move a single pair of Shoes Of thei
present stock to their new store, n
matter what the sacrifice may be
e close it out.
