TRADE MAGNET THAT ATTRACT.
ED CROWDS TO THE NAM.
MOTH ESTABLISHMENT.

The grand opening at Hart e Co.'S
mammoth establishment last Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday proved
trade magnet that attracted crowds
of shoppers to the Main street store.
Each afternoon the place was literally
crowded, and the magnificent display
Of millinery and ready-to-wear suits
was greatly admired by the ladies.
An Enterprising House.
The effect of this display was en-
HANGED by the tasteful manner in
which the store had been decorated
for the occasion, and the management
spared nothing to add to the pleasure
Of the visitors. A fine orchestra dis
coursed sweet music throughout the
afternoons, and every lady who at
tended the opening was presented
with carnation as a souvenir of the
occasion.
Flowers Given Away.
With hte very latest creations in
the lines mentioned on display, and
with these other attractions, the open
ing proved to be far and away beyond
anything of the kind ever attempted
in Lewistown before. Over one thous-
and of the beautiful blossoms were
given away, and while the opening was
intended especially for the ladies', the
visitors were not confined to the fair
sex, as the men have learned that
Hart & Co.'S line of mems wear is

and price.
Fifty-seven Big Stores.
| This Lewistown establishment is
connected with fifty-seven large stores
conducted by this progressive firm in
| various parts of the country, and in
that fact lies one of the reasons for
! their success. Hart e. Co. have their
own buyers in New York and Chicago,
and the Lewistown establishment gets
the full value of their efforts. These
buyers are always on the lookout for
the latest things, and, being constant
ly on the ground, buying at first hand
have the pick of the cream of all the
stocks. Then, too, buying in such i'm
mense quantities, as is necessary to
| supply these many stores, they are
able to get prices that smaller buy.

real reason why Hart e Co. can sell
better goods at lower prices than
other stores ask for goods of a grade
not so fine. These are two advan
tages possessed by this house that
cannot be claimed by any competitor
in this field. and the purchasers are
the ones who reap the real benefit
of it all.
