The greatest inaugural event heard of in Den
yer retail annals Every department of the enterprs
ing Lewis will offer the public extra special induce
ments. Nothing has been left undone to make this
most memorable occasion. The Great August Sale con-
tinued with offers added.
1t is natural that announcement of this character
coming from of the largest and best known stores
of the West should intense interest Arrange
ments were made with The Sperry & Hutchinson Co.,
after mature deberation and with the belief that the
proposition is soundly logical and commendable. We
subjected the "Sperry & Hutchinson Green Trading
Stamp system to the most crucial investigation possible
Every critical inquiry and study served to intensity the
practicabeness of the system and emphasize its mutual
advantages.
The Lewis Store would certainly not take such radi
step it not fully convinced that the idea would
be enthusiastically ndorsed and patronzed by countless
numbers of people The Green Trading Stamp plan
possesses many advantages. With greater expendi
ture for your needs perhaps less you gradually
late great many things, useful and ornamental which
you absolutely nothing, but which you other
would have possessed unless you paid cash for
them.
Since it's inception the Lewis Store has demonstrated
power leadership that has placed it conspicuously in
the very forefront of vast commercial enterprises Each
year this business go forward with giant strdes
each year has witnessed gains; after year
new departments have been added The merchandise,
brought from all portions Of the civilized world, is to-
day notable for it's superiority and variety.

animals are fresh from the jungle,
none of them Having been born in
captivity except the famous Hagen
beck hybrid, cross between lion
and a tiger. In all there are nearly
$50 specimens. One act or group in
cludes two lions, three tigers, two
leopards, two polar bears, two pumas,
five dogs and the hybrid. In another
arenic display seven full grown polar
bears, never before trained, do the
bidding of young German, who has
long been one of Mr.. Hagenbeck's most
intrepid trainers. Tigers and ele-
