VISITING MILLINERS
PLACE BIG ORDERS
Merchants Predict That Business
at This Opening Will Far Ex-
ceed Former Seasons.

Yesterday was the second day OF the mil
liners sojourn in ST. Louis. and they gave
orders for more than $4,000 worth of goods.
Milliners have arrived from the West and
the Southwest. Illinois. Iowa and the South.
until at least a thousand are in the city.
Sales so far have not been on so large a
but new territory opened to ST. Louis within
the last few months. the result Of new
railroads. new country and merchants ex-
cursions, has sent the figures away ahead
OF those OF last year.
Wholesale millinery establishments were
crowded to the doors yesterday. and count
less statesmen were in to take care OF
their country customers. So that the mer-
chants declare that the business at this
opening will far exceed that of the last
opening. And the last one was record
breaker.
Many visiting milliuers yesterday did
nothing but look. They looked the day be-
fore. The reason. they said. was that they
could hardly make up their minds to a Sc
lection. the stocks are so large. so varied,
all is 50 fresh. and the merchants are SO
courteous. Many ordered on the first day.
Cancelled part of the order yesterday, and
then ordered over again more than on the
first day. Scores who ordered the first day
made additional purchases yesterday.
Yesterday a score OF milliners who had
come to St Louis to make small purchases.
feeling that they would then 90 on to some
other city and purchase there also. decided
the best thing to do was to confine their
purchases to st. Louis. and the merchants
thought the decision was a wise one.
The trade this season is marked by the
number OF purchasers from points 209 and
400 miles away, from the territory hereto
fore claimed by other cities. which make
big claims commercially. The Interstate
Merchants Association has the heaviest
force Of assistants employed 1t has ever had
during the millinery season.
