The Living Impress OF
the A. T. Stewart
Personality.

TT is very gratifying to hear the
i speeches of curious and inter
ested Anniversary visitors con-
corning the relation of this one
year-old and neWly-ariSen business
to the widely known and highly
honored business that occupied
this store in the earlier days. The
remarks convey a universal verdict
of approval.
The A. T. Stewart school was a
good school for learners, and we
have new reasons for self-respect
when New Workers tell us that we
have not forgotten the lessons OF
thirty years ago.
Last years progress gives clear
indication of what our efforts will
be for the business of our newly
begun StOre-year.
