1t will not be necessary to turn on
the electric light to show q single
carpet in the department. The window
light is so arranged that all rugs and
carpets appear to the best advantage.
By showing carpets by the light of day
their true effects in color are brought
out.
THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS.
The third floor is primarily known
as the millinery floor, although the
stock of readyto-wear women's goods
is on display here, together with COM
pete line of corsets and muslin under
wear. The offices of the firm are also
located on this floor. The William
Hengerer Company's display of milli-
merry is as complete as could be de-
sired. Everything for everybody is a
motto of the department. The most
expensive creations in lovely headgear
are for the purse that can afford it,
while for the less fortunate woman are
hats and toquesin keeping with her cir
cumstances. 1t is a department for the
rich and poor alike and all will he
served with the very best for the
money.
The great attraction on the second
floor is the soda water fountain. All
day long thousands of persons met
here and regaled themselves with
nectar fit for the gods. This depart
ment has already become famous, and
women out on a shopping tour make
arrangements to meet their friends at
the fountain. The fountain is said to
be the third largest in America, and
it is remarkable and beautiful piece
of architecture. The front is of Mexi-
can onyx, the rarest obtainable, and
the massive woodwork is of solid
mahogany The serving counter is of
mahogany, on which rests chocolate
marble two inches thick. The foun-
tains and it's fittings are fifty feet long.
Two statuettes, carved inCarrsra, Italy,
flank the immense central mirror on
each SIDE The tables for those who
desire to refresh themselves in private
parties aro we'll arranged and are
hidden from public view by stands
covered with immense ferns and tropi-
cal plants. All kinds of hot and cold
drinks, ice cream, ice cream soda and
bouillon are served.
ON THE MAIN FLOOR.
The main floor is devoted to notions,
ribbons, laces, handkerchiefs, drugs,

jewelry. The jewelry department is a
marvel. Diamonds ofthe rarest purity
and value are in stock, some of them
costing thousands of dollars. The de-
partment is in charge of Clement II.
Dawson, who came to this city from
Chicago.
The elevator service is marvellous.
Six immense ell evators are in constant
commission. Each of them holds 80
persons. They are equipped with
double folding doors, 80 that when
they are opened the full front of the
elevator to thrown open to allow an
easy access to and exit from the elevat-
OrS.
1t is only necessary to add in conclu-
sion that the entire stock from top to
bottom is entirely new. That fact
shows for itself and was the subject of
favorable remark by visitors to the
store yesterday. The variety and
volume are simply wonderful
No one can go through the store of
the William Henge rer Company with
out certain sense of personal pride, a
pride inspired by the knowledge that
this is Buffalo store, built up by Buff.
fnlonians, managed byBuffalonians, ,and
largely for the benefit of Buffalonians.
1t is store which Buffalonians will
take pleasure in showing their friends
from out of the city as an example of
Buffalo enterprise and success. The
whole city rejoices in the achievement
of the William Hengerer Company.
