OPENING At KANN'S
A BRILLIANT SUCCESS
A Splendid Electrical Display Among
the Many Attractions
Provided.

The celebration Of the tenth anniver-
sary of S. Kann. Sons & Co. was ushered
in yesterday. and under most favorable
conditions.
Among the electrical displays that
caused the great crowd or buyers to
marvel was a realistic representation
OF the aurora borealis. with its con-
slant changing Of lights An ingenious
electrical apparatus manipulated in the
basement produced the dazzling changes
OF lights In the main auditorium above,
and gave an almost perfect idea OF what
the people see who inhabit the far
northern parts OF the world
Canopies of multi-colored lights shed
their glistening rays about the stores.
There were unique designs-in fact, there
was everything TO attract the attention
of persons who enjoy the beautiful.
There were festoons Of multi-colored
lights intermingling their shades with
the richest blooms OF nature.
This forenoon the members Of the firm
were called into the presence of a dele
cation representing the employees and
were presented with a beautiful cabinet
oak desk and silver service, a memorial
of the anniversary.
On the main floor near the corner en-
trance of the store was a ladder OF
flowers. the lettering in red blooms each
rung representing a year Of the decade
that the Kanns have been in business in
Washington. At the top was the word
success" emblematic Of what the firm
has done within that period.
An incident of the opening which was
quite interesting, and which showed be-
yond a doubt what a widely circulated
paper The Times is was the result OF
typogra phicaIerroT IN Kann's advertise
ment in this paper. 1t was made to
appear that there would be a floral
shoe" instead Of a floral show among
the many attractions offered 10 visitors
by the enterprising firm. Hundreds and
hundreds Of people searched in vain for
the shoe" and clerks were kept busy
explaining the mistake.
