THE BELL PRINTING co..
912 E STREET N. w.

Nothing IS so important I'm the social
world as the first impression and this
appears with equal force 70 the business
world. any merchants and professional
men realize this fact but in spite of
the knowledge, they seem 10 think that
the first impression a customer gains
OF their line OF work is when a visit
Is made to the store or office This
idea is entirely erroneous. The first i'm
preston is gained from the kind OF let
terhead. billhead envelope, or bust
ness card a man uses. This is the
straw that shows the direction of the
wind of prosperity and business re-,
liability The matter of stationervt
therefore. is an all-important one. az III
the astute commercial man cannot ov ~
look il. The only way 10 be sure Jof
getting the best in the stationery lin 4 is
10 patronize a thoroughly reliable hnd
progressive job printing establishr< ent.
Such place Is the Bell Printing Com
pany, at 9l2 Z street northwest, Which
was Incorporated in 1903. Mr. FL. Nj.
Taylor, the president. is a man IL long
experience in this line of work, and he
has installed a thoroughly modern plant

INCREASING HARDWARE
TRADE OF WOOLF & CO,

g, ~ Woolf and Company have been in

neers in this line in the District.
The firm IS composed OF Messrs. {. NJ
Woof and j. =. Coon. MIR Woolf the
senior member Of the firm, had been en-
gagged in the hardware business on Sew
enth street for thirteen years prior to

showed how well he mad grasped every
detail Of the business. Mr. Coon. prior

One of the principal features Of the

sell carloads annually. The firm is con-
trolling a large share of the most de
siraDle patronage in the surrounding

The Washington times., 1906-01-28

MI Kroeger year ago purchased the
business of John Hess, who had been
engaged in a similar business at No. 6lS
for ten years. The location was quite well
known, therefore. as an umbrella store
but it was not operated on so large
scale as now
Mr. IIroeger came to this city after
having been connected for fifteen years
with Follmer. ClOgg q Co. OF L.ancas-
ter, Pa. the largest umbrella manII,aC-
tuners in the world. probably he knew
every detail Of the work and was there
fore fully equipped TO enlarge and build
up the business, as he at once began 10
do. The stock Of the house was insne-
diately increased to large proportion. a
complete line Of the finest goods was
bought and the supply of medium grades
was also replenished, sIr, Kroeger be
gan TO advertise, and the people began
TO patrOnize his store in large numbers.
The merits Of his wares did the rest
II was not long before the patronage
Of this establishment was increased 10
an even greater extent than Mr.. Kroe-
ger himself had anticipated or even
hoped for
repair shop was already in opera ton
IN the rear. bu- IL was unable TO turn
out the work that was brought in. so the
proprietor bought an electric motor u
operate modern umbrella machinery,
thus increasing the output of the shop
and making il a real manufacturing es-
adjustment. All classes of work can
now be handled here in the best style.
eIr. Kroeger's store is very nicely ar
ranged. and the display of umbrellas and
parasOls Is indeed attractive.
While the house carries a line of cheap
and medium-price goods, the main fea-
ture Is the finer grades, Umbrellas of
handsome handle designs are TO be had,
and any changes OF handles can readily
be effected or the handle selected and
the umbrella made up TO your especial
order. The best class OF covering is done
here and with pleasing dispatch. In
fact. a good. durable cover can be put
on an umbrella from Soc. upward.
The fact that the business of the house
has more than doubled in the past
twelve months gives one some idea OF
the general satisfaction which his work
must have given, else the Endorsements
would not have been handed from Gus
toner TO friend and so on down in an
endless chain.
Mr. Kroeger is a member of the Royal
Arcanum and has host of friends.

ing and an inspection Of the stock car
ried reveals the fact that in every re-
spect he is to be considered leader IN
his line. A feature of his establishment
that is worthy Of more than passing
mention is the interest which the pro-
prietor takes in the comfort and well
fare of his employees. On the second
floor he has set aside two rooms for their
use. and in this way he has added
strength 20 his hold upon their fidelity
70 MS business and respect for him. No

endeavors 20 add to their comfort and
