IMMENSE CROWD
ATTENDS OPENING
OVER THIRTY THOUSAND ARE
PRESENT
ANNUAL RECEPTION is GIVEN
Management of Broadway Department
Store Entertains Great Army of
Customers and Visitors-His-
tory of Establishment

1t is estimated that between 10000 and
10000 persons attended the annual fall
opening of the Broadway department
store last evening.
Despite the slight Inconvenience oc-
casioned by such a vast throng, the
visitors to the great store were in
happy mood and inspected the numer-
Gus departments from roof to base
ment.
Twenty policemen, assisted by 100 en-
ployes of the firm kept the crowd
moving at all times to avoid the usual
crushes and jams resultant of such an
immense gathering within the precincts
of one establishment
On all sides a bewildering display Of
loveliness greeted the eye Of the visitor,
and during the reception hours the pro-
prietors were recipients of innumerable
compliments from those in attendance.
Pleasing Decorations
The lower floors were decorated in
pink and green, the lights between the
pillars being shaded with green, while
at the head of each column was a
cluster of lights, shaded with pink
tissue paper and outlined with ferns.
Red and green were used in the
dining department, forming a remark
ably beautiful offset to the deep green
and brown of the mission furnishings.
On each floor music was furnished
throughout the evening and when the
hour approached for closing the band
on the first floor struck up the strains
of There's No Place Like Home"
The IT'S clerks employed in the store
were in attendance and the young
women, in beautiful gowns, lent addi
tional charms to the counters over
which they presided.
White-gloved policemen, numbering
a score, were stationed throughout the
building to assist in keeping the
throngs moving in one direction and re-
turning in another, that all might in
spect the store. An additional duty Of
the policemen was to look pleasant,
which they performed in a modern and
InOrOuSHly up-lO-udle LldLleL, DIS De-
fitting the occasion.
Remarkable Growth
The remarkable growth of this store
under the management of Arthur Let's
is manifest when it is realized that ten
years ago it was started at the north
end Of what is now known as the
Broadway department store block, with
one aisle and two counters. Today the
store occupies the entire block of four
stories and a basement, with nearly
forty aisles and carrying all lines of
goods.
One of the reasons assigned for the
success of the store is the humane
management accorded by Mr.. Let's. j.
T. Newkirk, assistant superintendent,
said last night:
"This store is run as large family
and the employees are all contented and
happy. Whenever any trouble occurs
among the employees there is always a
heart to-heart talk with the manage
ment and a second trial always given"
Following are the afficers: Arthur
Let's, proprietor and manager; H.
