STATE DEDICATION EXERCISES
AT ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION SITE

St Louis. Ne. May 3.-Yesterday
was the last day of the dedication ex-
ercises of the Exposition, and in many
respects 1t was more successful than
any that preceded it. The beautiful
weather of Friday was continued and
the dense crowd that iammed the turn
stiles all through the early hours and
that lined the streets in solid rank to
watch the great civic parade, compared
fayorably, in point OF numbers, with
the multitude of the opening day. Yes
terday was state day" and aside from
the dedication of the various state
buildings, which took place in the af-
ternoon, it was surrendered into a
magnificent representation of the arts
of peace. The pomp and circumstances
of the military pageant were absent,
but the great outpouring of the men
of brain and Drawn who marched to-
d y was no less impressive.
A crash of aerial bombs at 10: 80

no other city has such a group of
thoroly modern and perfectly equipped
stores as Minneapolis. AS Nicollet ave-
nue. grew in Importance, the store
rooms were remodeled, new fronts
were put into the older buildings and
modern fixtures and fittings were
added. This movement is still going
on, but it has progressed SO far that
Nicollet avenue is knoWrpas the finest
retail street in the country.
On the other hand the concentration
of business on upper Nicollet avenue
led to two natural results great adj
vance in property values and a re.
action in favor of side streets, and the
building UP of retail centers in other
parts of the city where competition
with the beautiful stores of Nicollet
avenue would not be felt. The retail
business of the central part of the city
has now grown so large that it can not
be confined to Nicollet avenue and
both Hennepin and First avenue S
with the cross streets from Washing
ton to Seventh are rapidly filling with
retail business. The outlying centers
are also to be reckoned with. A large
business is done on Cedar avenue in
the vicinity of Third and Fourth
streets. Another center is on Central
avenue OH the east side; still another
on washington avenue N and Plym-
N. These localities are bound to de-
velop more and more as the city con-
tinues to grow.
The rise of the department store
has, of course, been the most pictur-
esque feature of the past twenty-five
years in Minneapolis retail business,
as it has in every large city. The
department store has not only come
to stay, but it has been followed by
most logical development-that of the
specialized business. This is the age
of the specialist; not only in the pro-
fessions, but also in business. The de-
partment store demolished the small
competitor who tried to keep an
equally varied assortment of nerchan-
disc; but it simply made room for the
business specialist who achieves rep
utation for a single line. This is
proven by the development i'll Mime
apolis in recent years Of many cexclu-
sive stores which have prospered eX-
ceedingly on the speciality principle.
