All Your Christmas Gifts Can BE Sc
cured There.
This is the age where the shopper espe-
cially at Christmas times, desires to visit
some one establishment wherein is found
about every article suitable not only as a
holiday remembrance. but also desirable
for everyday wear or use. 1t Is notice
able that such establishments are the most
resorted to, and one of the very best ex-
amples OF this kind is that well-known and
popular local house known as "Hechts'
Greater Stores" 513 and 515 9TH street.
About five years ago this house was es-
manner and from that day it's proprietors'
most perplexing problem has been and stll is,
the securing of sufficient space in which to
store their practically endless variety of
goods. This establishment today, occupies
two great twin stores Of several stories in
height and it is only d question of a very
short time when much additional room will
have to be secured to enable its roprietOrs
to keep pace with their constantly growing
business.
The secret of the great success of this
establishment may be stated in these
words: The best of goods for the lowest OF
prices. OF course, there are larger houses
of its kind that is admitted, but no other
where its patrons can do better, either with
cash or with promise to pay, for this es-
Enlistment is the only one of its kind In
Washington, It's pfOpTletDTS cOlleHu, WHERE
a promise to pay buys as much and buys 1t
for as little as cash. No responsible person
needs cash to effect a purchase at Hechts,
for such d person has only to select what
is desired. go to the office of the house, and
there make arrangements for payment. The
terms of payment are made to suit the
convenience and responsibility of every pur-
chaser, and the effect of this Is to make
buying easy and to rob the purchase of
Christmas gifts of all annoyance and incon-
venience More than this, all articles are
plainly marked, and each Is sold at the
marked price, no matter whether the pur-
chaser pays cash or gives promise TO
paw All any one unable to pay in full has to
do TO secure the goods desired is to be q
person OF responsibility; that is, one whose
credit is good.
To enumerate the articles which can be
purchased at this establishment would re-
auire columns, and it is only necessary to
say that with the exception of furniture
and carpets, every article and piece OF
goods found in a modern department store
can be found there. For instance, the sec
0nd floor of the house is devoted entirely to
ladies' suits, wraps, furs and like goods,
while the entire fourth floor Is devoted to
mems and boys clothing Them the toy
department Is one Of the largest and best
equipped In the city, while every other de-
partment OF the immense establishment is
equally well stored with every seasonable
and necessary article. Indeed, with the ex-
ceptions stated, the house contains all that
man. woman or child needs for comfort or
can desire for adornment or pleasure and
all at the very lowest of prices. for cash or
for a responsible promise to pay.
In order to keep abreast of the times, in
this, as in all other matters, the proprietors
of Hechts have had established in their
great stores a branch post office, substa-
ton No. 30, where their patrons may secure
money orders, have letters and packages
registered and deposit all mailable matter,
from postal card up to the heaviest pack
age allowed in the malls.
