The Balle-Brodersen Co. is meeting with
great success for its formal opening week.
The big store looks its best. The display
windows are works of art and would do
credit to State street in Chica-
go. The stocks in the various depart
ments are displayed to the best advantage
and hundreds of people are thronging the
store throughout the eutire day
On the second floor, Mrs. John Silleto.
Denisons favorite cateress, is superintend-
ing the refreshments which consist of ex-
cellent coffee and fine ham sandwiches.
We are informed that mote than five hun
dred people were served on Tuesday after
noon. The firm is to be congratulated on
the popular success they are making Of
their grand opening.
I. E Bale is the ad writer for this firm
and everlastingly keeping at it is one of
his notices. He watches results too and
We would call attention to the large
advertisement of The Boys on page eight
of this issue. The Boys are preparing
for their removal to their new quarters.
and instead of having great removal sale
all in bunch, they have decided on the
policy of offering great bargains, first in
one line and then in another and thus re-
ducing their stock to minimum without
interfering with their regular trade. Mr..
Gebert the cad" man of the firm, be.
]ieves in quoting prices that will demand
attention aud bring trade. 1t will pay
good ousewives to keep an eye on their
announcements this fall.
Geo. Menagh G. Co.'S advertisement
takes new form this week because they
wish to show large cut of their harness.
They have already transferred their hard
ware stock to the old Sievers building and
are ready for business in that line as we'll
as in the harness business. Mr. David
Menagh is the sad" writer for Menagh
and Co. and b complains that half
page is not big enough to tell all the bar
gains he has for the people each week,
Dave threatens to buy page of the RE-
VIEW for the next year SO that he can tell
the people all about it. Well. that's the
Menagb way and it's a winner.
Mr.. ]. c. Pirath. who has beeu manag-
ing the Bamford Sale for the Commercial
Adjusting Co.. has left the city tempora.
rarily but the sale goes merrily on. Mr..
7irath told us before leaving that even he,
as experienced as he was in such sales,
was surprised at the success OF the Bam-
ford sa e. The stock is being rapidly re-
duced and Mr.. Bamford believes that he
will be able to close it all out this fall 1t
is to be regretted that so good merchant
as Mr.. Bamford should be forced by ill
health to give up the fine business he has
established, but now that he has decided
to make the step he is anxious to do it
quickly: hence the bargains.
Fred Soehl, who has charge of the sale
OF the Hub stock, is sho wing himself to be
an expert lad" man. His announcements
are catchy and yet they tell their message
in straig htforward way. 1t is wonder
full what results Mr.. Soehl is accomplish
ing single-handed in his little store on
Broadway.
Have you noticed the clever signature
design u sed by Huettman Bros. in their
announcements. 1t was especially en-
graved for them and they have similar
one for use in the German papers. The
bows have a fine stock and intend to keep
pounding away until everyone knows it.
They are using some attractive clothing
cuts in their ads.
Bartcher and Schneckloth intend
that everyone shall know that they
are ready for business with constant
ly increasing stock of new goods. At
present they are busy unpacking and
setting up new furniture, but Ben has
some great ideas in his head for push
ing business. The cut flower depart
ment is one of them. Next year he
expects to grow his own flowers and to
make his own desig FOR floral pieces.
The firm has decided not to handle
wall paper and is closing out what is
left OF the Portz stock very cheaply.
Kelly says not to use borders on his
ads and to set the hrst line black. black,
black, so every one can see it. He be-
lieves in heart to heart talks with his
customers. or perhaps it would be bet
ter to call them sole to soul talks.
Mr.. Kemming says he has the fines
stock he has ever been able to offe
Denison people and from now til
