palnis Royals First Christmas.

Pnlnis Royals First Christmas.
you ask me to tell you about the first
Xmas of the Palais Royal in Washing
ton," said Mr.. Lisner. the owner of the
Palais Royal, in answer to a Star report
er's question.
II was more than gratified for, though
the receipts of that day were extremely
small compared to those of the Xmas Of
07. they were in relation to the size of
the city and of the store at that time en-
tirely satisfactory.
1.-The esta blishment had been opened
against the advice Of all my friends. who
ington for tine kind of goods which We
intended to have for sale, SO that when
the financial success of the enterprise
exceeded my most sanguine hopes. thus
vindicating my judgment, l was very
happy.
still, I was far from content. The
building, though light and cheerful. was
small and in many ways not adapted for
the business which I was carrying on.
Il longed for a place where the stock
could be shown. to greater advantage.
where the employees could be more COM
Portable and where my patrons could have
it better to make haste slowly, and only
gradually took in more of the old Shepherd
building, now the Raleigh, until had the
entire building.
to the needs of a modern department store
and, finally. also against the advice of
most of my friends, / bought the ground
on G street, on which the Palais Royal
now stands. Soon after doing this real
estate began to depreciate; the money mar
ket all over the country was very much
depressed. when 1t became imperative that
the Palais Royal should be moved up town,
and I was obliged to build at once. The
scrupulous integrity and business ability
with which the Palais Royal had been
conducted stood me in good stead. for
in spite of the general business depression,
I found people who were glad to help me
financially. But the new undertaking
would not have succeeded had it not been
for the unfailing support of the people
Of Washington.
ITO what do I attribute the success of
the Palais Royal?' First of all to the
cash principle on which the business has
been carried on. making 1t possible to buy
goods cheaply and to sell them at a cor
respondingly low price; to the strictest
personal attention, especially to details,
and to the hearty cooperation of faithful
employees.
These have made 1t possible for my
business to grow from a small one in an
inadequate rented building, giving employ
ment to fifteen clerks, to one in my own
building. employing five hundred clerks
and yielding in one hour now as large re-
ceipts as were yielded in a day during
the drst year of Its existence"
