OAHEn

GAGED

clearly showed at the large clothing
establishment of l. Hamburger a. Sons,
at No. 220 and 222 Market street to-
day. The announcement was made in
the newspapers that the store would
close out it's business in this city, and
Occasioned considerable surprise.
The firm of Hamburger a Sons has
been one of the largest advertisers in
Wilmington, and, consequently has
done a large business here where IL
has an admirable record of ten years.
The stock has always been large and
well selected and the company is cred
tied with having revOlutiOnized the
clothing business in Wilmington.
The store had been closed for a few
days to allow for the arrangement of
stock, and since the doors were opened
ats o'clock this morning, there has
been a steady stream of people, attract
ed by the advertisements In fact, the
number Of purchasers was so large
that some extra salespeOple were en-
gagged to handle the stock.
Louis Berney, who is manager Of the
firm here, will return to Baltimore and
ally himself with the interests of the
Hamburger stores there.
