WILLIAM HAHN g. CO.
A Local Firm Which Conducts Three
Large Shoe Houses.

The growth of the firm of Will

rash promises to the public and has
kept all those pledges 1t has made.

at Seventh and X Streets northwest,

does the public gain the benefit of the
strength, experience and ability of the

Hahn & Co. are popularly known
throughout the city as 1.-THE Reliable

tells more than a column of type.
The Christmas window exhibit at the
big, new store at the southwest corner
of Seventh and X Streets attracts many
persons. The window scene represents
"The Volunteers Thoughts of Home at
Christmas Eve" The theme is cleverly
wrought out and the figures are operated
by electricity. 1t is claimed that the
Seventh Street store is the largest build
ing in America devoted entirely to shoe
retailing. The firm absolutely needed
this building to accommodate its fast in
creasing trade and Mr.. Hahn feels that
this fact is evidence that the public ap-
preciates his business methods.

The Busy Corner Is Brilliant With Christ
mas Goods.
The Kann Store, at the Busy Corner,
Market Space and Eighth Street, is one
of the most attractive in the city for the
holiday season. The approach of Christ
mas is heralded everywhere, not only in
the wilderness of holiday goods on every
side and on every floor of the great
building and in the crowds which make
this store more than ever the Busy Cor
enr, but in the masses of evergreens and
in the many other decorations prettily
appropriate to the season.
AS one passes into the building at the
corner entrance she sees immense
room full of shimmering color, bewild-
ering but fascinating, Il million of pretty
things, in every shade of what might be
called an age of new and multitudinious
shades. But over all hang the graceful
Christmas drapings of green. giving the
entire floor their distinct tone, despite
the wealth of other colors. And above
in the many other departments there
is always this same Difference to the
season in little ways and big that con-
tinually delight.
Perhaps, however, ii is unfair to this
very attractive store to dwell SO strongly
on Its attractiyenes from the picturesque
side, when despite all that has been done
in this line the Christmas stock itself, as
goods for sale, is so pleasant to look at.
The characteristic of the store in this
line is undoubtedly the vast quantities of
the different goods that are offered.
There are not hundreds of umbrellas but
thousands. and the handkerchiefs are not
numbered by the thousands but by the
millions. Mr.. Kann's pretty girls have
to show, as an example 5000 umbrellas
of a wonderful variety of patterns. There
are fancy Dresden handles and handles
of silver inlaid in ivory, and horn handles
with silver decorations, and there are
palmer varieties also to make up a full
collection of every kind to choose from.

perhaps the best way to fill the Christmas
obligation will be to subscribe TO some

subscribe for share or many shares and
put them in the young mans hand on
Christmas morning. A small monthly
payment will then insure him good
start when he comes of age. While

be felt, but the result of the little saving
will be the best kind Of protection when
