to Greet the Eye-A Few Words Fht'o-
sophicaI and Descriptive.


A. throng of people stood gazing at

scenes presented at the Hirsh stores
windows The mammoth front window
/ is a brilliant spectacle devoted to every
imaginable style and color OF neck
wear, the price of every one or Whlch IS
only thirty-three cents, and they are
beauties and bargains. 1t will pay any
one to crafty their sense OF the artlslc
by seeing this window and after indulg-
ing their aesthetic taste to step INSIDE
and secure one of these attractive par
gains. Perhaps the chef d'oeuvre of the
decoration is the flying butterflies over
head which to the eye appear to be
actually floating in the air. These are
the butterfly neckties, and very stylish
/ they look. The firm carries all lines OF
mems neokWear up to $3.50 apiece. Tnen
at the main side window Will be seen
samples of the great lines of overcoats
which the Hirsh stores carry in stock
and the firm is not afraid to display
samples of their oVercoats costing from
$35 10 SAT each, as they know that Gus

The Hirsh system of window dressing
was invented by Sig. Hirsh himself,
and he has a patent application for it
pending in Washington. This system
Of Mr.. Hirsh's has attracted many win
dow decorators from New York houses,
who have come on here to note the sys-
tenn and it's application. Hirsh and
brother have an artist moreover in win
dow dressing of rare skill and taste
The decorator is Mr.. Hughes, and is a
bachelor, who has become already
warmly attached to the City of Elms
Mr., Hirsh and his brother have spent
freely to embellish and adorn their
store and the handsome appearance
their stores present is distinct addition
in store Identification in this city Said
Sig. Hirsh last evening: You can say
that the Messrs. Hirsh are gratified at
the liberal patronage they have already
won in this city, and we'll satisfied with
their success here. They have become
caterers in their lines-not to a class,
but to all classes of our people,"
Laugh and the world laughs with |
you" continued Mr.. Hirsh It is my |
motto to have good nature and cheer
fulness prevail in my stores. Customers |
are our guests, not urged to buy, but |
made to feel at home When Mr.. Hirsh |
was in charge of large department |
store in New York city, a long and per-
sistent rainy season came, and business |
sympathized with it. Coming upon one
Of his floor walkers one day with a long |
and detected face he rallied him on his |
gloomy countenance and asked the rea-
son for It. It is because of the dull |
ness of trade owing to this beastly |
spell of weather replied the floor walk
er "How much is your salary" asked |
Mr.. Hirsh. Eighteen dollars per |
week." was the reply. Drop that |
gloomy expression" said Mr.. Hirsh, |
land smile. There, that is better"
Your salary is now raised"
Laugh and the world laughs with |
YOU" and there is a world of magnet
ism in the adage.
