Despite the inclement weather yes
terday, the fall opening of Water
towns greater and remodeled west
side store, was a decided success and
throughout the day the store was Wis
tied by steady stream of purchasers
and the force Of clerks, together with
the proprietors, were kept busy all
day showing and disposing of their
wares,
Chas. Fischer & Son Co. never do
things by halves. When they an
nounce a special sale of any kind they
invariably back up all claims and the
opening Of their three days sale yes
terday morning was no exception to
the rule. Hundreds of people visited
the store to take advantage of the
special offerings and admire the decid
ed change in the way of enlargement
in the store that has taken place dur
ing the past few weeks. Had the
weather been at all favorable, there
IS no doubt but that it would have
been impossible to have handled the
crowds of anxious buyers and with
favorable weather today and Monday,
there is no DOUBT but that the newly
remodeled and enlarged store will
present a lively scene.
With the enlarged facilities for
carrying on the business, the addition
of new goods and the pretty decora
tions, the store presents handsome
appearance and the members of this
enterprising firm are to be congratu-
lated upon the excellent showing made
yesterday. The main store room Oh
the ground floor was prettily decorated
with artificial leaves and flowers,
giving a striking and pretty autumn
effect. The display window was
adorned in the same artistic manner
with showing of fall and winter
wares, especially attractive to the
ladies'. The decorations and window
trimming was the work of Mr.. George
Fischer, who is certainly an artist in
his line.
With the remodeling of the store,
the firm now ha, the entire third floor
which has been converted into sales
room, 25xl00 feet, giving almost dou-
BILE the floor space they previously
had. The third floor is devoted to
carpets and rugs and clothing. the
first mentioned being new departure
for the firm. The room is we'll
lighted and ventilated and makes a
valuable addition to the store. To
add to the convenience ard comfort
of their patrons, the firm has installed
passenger elevator. The remodeled
store, as the firm claims, is certainly
now one of the best and most up-to-
date retail establishments in this sec
tion.
The concern il showing beautiful
line of fall and winter goods and with
the remodeling they have every nee
essary device fo- handling their stocks
in the most Convenient manner. The
Fischers do not show the grasping at
titude toward their visitors, but well
come all whether they are ready to
buy or not. As they announce, they
want you to know what you can buy
at their store and what you have to
pay.
Each visitor at the store who makes
a purchase of s.. 90 or over is present
ed with pretty japanese work bas-
ket, which is really worth many times
over the amount of the purchase ne
cessary to get it. The opening con-
tinues today and Monday and with
good weather, the store will no doubt
be as busy as bee hive.
