~ ALLlANCE had 1mpOrtuned the
editor of Everybody's Palladi-
um for a month to commission
him to write a story. One day.
after he had quite ignored the bohe-
milan on Lis last dozen calls, the editor
said:
eyes, you can try your hand at a
Christmas tale for our December num-
Der. I'm going to the mountains to
keep cool during dog days. Mail it to
me there at the end of this week. and
I'll read it Immediately"
Now, Dalliance had several Christ
mas sketches all ready to spin out into
stories, but instead of buckling to in
good faith and finishing one of them
he began to speculate on the idiosyn-
crasies of the chief of the Palladium.
"What in thunder does he want with
a Christmas story in August, with De-
cember over three months away? If
he'd said Thanksgiving it would be
more like it, and then l could work a
Christmas story on him later.

GoTTLIEB BUYS THE FAIR.

K
Senior Member OF the Firm of Gottlieb 8
Co, Takes Interests Of Other Partners
The firm Of j. Gottlieb & Co., the
well known proprietors of "The Fair"
passed out Of existence Wednesday
afternoon when a deal was completed
by which Jacob Gottlieb became the
sole owner Of the big store. This
morning a card tackled on the doors of
the store announced that the change
had been made and that Mr.. Gottlieb
is in,possession. Adolph and Emanuel
Epstein who have been IN partnership
with Mr.. Gottlieb will retire from
ably take long vacation before go
ing into business again. 1t is hardly
probable that they will return to Ke-
nosha to take up new business.
The deal is one Of the largest mer
camille deals made in Kenosha for
many years, the sale including all the
stock of the Fair store and of the
High Art clothing store. It is report
ed that the consideration was in the
neighborhood of fifteen thousand dol
lars.
AS soon as the sale was completed
Mr.. Gottlieb took possession and new
men will be placed in charge of the
different departments of the store at
once. AS soon as possible steps will
be taken to sell out the entire stock Of
the stores as it is the plan of the new
owner TO open model department
store in the rooms now occupied by
the company. In speaking Of his plans
this morning Mr.. Gott1ieb stated that
he had planned for some time to give
Kenosha a model department store but
that he had been badly handicapped
by the partnership and that for this
reason he had decided to take the en-
tire stock of the company. The plan
includes the charging of the present
store building at the corner of Main
and Wisconsin streets and if possible
the store will be extended towards the
south. For some time Mr.. Gottlieb
has been negotiating for lease or
purchase Of other store rooms adioin-
ing the main store building and it is
possible that he will be able to get
these rooms in the early spring. The
entire top floor Of the Gonnermann
and Kimball buildings will be utilized
for the store as soon as suitable To-
cation can be secured for the Office of
the Kenosha Union.
It is the plan Of the new owner to
have all these changes completed be-
fore the opening Of the spring trade.
The store is to be opened on the met
ropolitan plan and will include all the
departments found in the big Chicago
stores.
Mr.. Gottlieb has been ia business in
Kenosha for more than five years and
during that time he has won the re-
spect and confidence of the people Of
the city and Of his competitors ia bust
ness.

There are the usual number of funny
things to be found in the detailed
statements Of personal property. Many
things of value which were supposed
to have been owned by Kenosha peo-
pie were not discovered by the tax col
lector, but be it said to mis- honor that
he managed to dig up quite little
personal property which for years has
passed without paying the stipend to
the State or county.
The reports show that there are SAL
horses ia the city, with a probable
value of 500, O55. OF wagons, vehicles
and carriages of all sorts there are 52o
to the value of $22,452. The mule has
no following in Kenosha, and but one
lonely member of the lougeared species
is listed. His value is put at only $35.
There are eleven cattle valued at $40,
and two swine which are being fatten-
ed probably for the winters killing
and have reached the point where
they are worth $35. There are no
sheep or lambs, or at least the tax col
lector failed to find them.
