Yesterday was the first business
day IN the month Of August. Au-
gust is the hoodoo month OF Sum-
mer-the month alleged to be
without business.
Strange things exist in trade-re'
tail trade. There are many survIv-
OrS whose anticipatiOns are all in
the past. They can have no Au-
gust business for the best of rea-
sons-they don't expect it.
Whoever saw New York retail
Furniture Store busy all day at the
first of August Only such as
were here yesterday. 1t was
marked day-histonc. There was
a good reason for activity. The

in progress FIsv Hundred Thousand
