Hahn's Silver Anniversary.

The twenty-ffth anniversary of the
founding of Hahn's shoe store, which was
noted yesterday, is a matter for general
congratulatiOn. That such an enterprise
should be a part of our local history for
quarter of a century Is a noteworthy cir
cumstance Hahns first shoe store-a most
humble affair-was situated on Pennsylva-
MIA avenue near Goth street: and with this
as beginning this progressive firm RAPIDLY
expanded. until today it occupies three
great buildings, each in different sections Of
the city and entirely devoted to shoe sell
ing.
1t is a fact Of some significance that
twenty-five years ago the largest shoe busi-
ness in the District was done by Charles
Cummins, who occupied the first floor Of
$50 Ith street. which is today part of the
Hahn's shoe house, corner of It'll and K
streets, and is about one-third Of the ground
floor of this store. Both of the branch
stores today occupy double the space of the
old Cummins store, and these, with the
four floors of the It'll street store, are none
too large to accommodate the rapidly grow
ing trade. Hahn's great success could not
have been accomplished without strict ad-
herence to sound business principles. In
recognition of its twenty-fifth anniversary
the firm has fnaugurated an anniversary
sale and is offering rare souvenir bargains
