THOUSANDS
TURN OUT
Early Rush to Keith-0' Brien'Si
Sidewalk Crowded Before
the Doors Opened.
1t Seemed That Nearly Every Wo-
man in the City Turned Out; the
Shopping Interest Will Con-
tinue for Several Days.

Never in Salt Lake was there such
a response to an embroidery salel
In front of Keith-O' Brien's store be-
fore o'clock Monday morning hun
dreds of women were waiting for the
doors TO open.
By quarter after O'Clock the store
was crowded with women.
But there was no wild rush, no jam,
due to a distribution of the embroider-
les. every aisle being given up to their
display.
BY this means the crowd was dis
tributed.
The addition of regular clerks from
other departments and fifty extra
salespeople facilitated shopping.
Naturally the finer patterns and the
broader widths were first sought. But
there was such an abundance of the
higher values that every piece was a
pickup.
Keith-O' Brien company had bought
heavily. From time to time the ire
mendous reserve stock was drawn up
on. BY this means interest was kept
up and late shoppers Jared as well as
the early corners.
Long before o'clock it seemed that
every department in the house was
crowded.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Inefe were QlSdp-
pointments naturally the wider
widths were first preference; then,
rather than risk not getting other de-
sirable values, few customers parleyed,
but took second and third choice.
Crowds followed the men who brought
in reserve stock. One lady, who got
down late, cried because a certain all
over which she had seen in the win
dow, and upon which she had set her
heart, could not be found. But where
one was filled with regret, another re-
joiced.
The best part of the sale was it's gen.
unineness-everyp piece sold was worth
double, treble, four and five times the
price.
Half price is a bargain-then consid-
err the greater values.
No wonder every home was repre-
sented-that the woman who sped
down in an automobile touched ell
bows with the wife of the laboring
man.
1t was an achievement of modern
Merchandising unfolding of the
spirit of the times. One of those rare
treats that goes far toward cementing
store and customer.
How it was done concerns not the
custOmer-results satisfy.
So immense is the reserve stock that
the interest will continue several days
for the big store promises to replenish
the pieces from day to day.

ROBBERS DRAW
FIFTEEN YEARS
Judge Armstrong Up to Form
in Sentencing Wilson and
Van Houghton.
RICHARDSON SEEMS CRAzED
SHERIFF THINKS ALLEGED AC-
coMPLIcE is INSANE.

In line with his usual custom of
making those convicted of serious
crime pay dearly for the error of their
ways, Judge George G. Armstrong OF
the district court yesterday sentenced
Paul Van Houghton and George Will
son 10 the penitentiary for fifteen years
each.
Wilson and Van Houghton were con-
victed OF robbing 5. H. Carman OF
Eureka of $3.50 on the night of Nov.
%, 1907.
The limit for the crime of robbery,
one of the most prevalent in this com
munity, is twenty years. and Judge
Armstrong in his effort To put an end
to the activities of hold-up men. has
given half a dozen or more Of those
convicted from ten 10 twenty years
within the past twelve months.
Razor Jack" Richardson. a we'll
known local character, is also said to
be implicated in the crime, and his
trial has oeen set FOR March 2.
is "Razor Jack" Insane?
Sheriff Emery and his deputies be-
lieve that Razor Jack" is insane and,
because OF his peculiar actions recent
ly he has been placed in padded cell
in the county jail so that he cannot
harm himself.
Richardson was out on $3.50 bonds
until last Friday, when the amount
was raised to $1,000, and he was lodged
I'm Jail because of his failure to Sc
cure that amount On Saturday lie
heard of the conviction of Van Hough-
ton and, knowing that Wilson had been
also convicted, it is thought that the
same fate staring him in the face un-
balanced his mind.
For a number of years the authOri-
ties have had trouble with him and
during all this period there has been
an impression that Razor jack was
not always right in his mind He
served a three-year sentence in the
penitentiary ten years ago for steal
ing a watch and during the trial of
Van HOughton he declared that he
would never go back there again. As
the sheriff is convinced that he has
suicidal tendencies a close watch will
be placed over him and if his cOndi-
tion becomes worse he viii be exam
ined for his sanity.

chants. In all lines OF trade. He who
believes that these great concerns are
not Injurious to the merchants in the
smaller cities and towns knows little
about their operations. Then how is
1t that the mail order houses are In
furious to the people of the land?
Great economists agree that 1t ie the
concentration Of capital and power in
the large cities wherein rests the dam
gers that threaten the people. The
mail order houses are great factors in
this concentration. They are suckers
Of the blood Of the country, the
mediums that take from communities
where 1t is earned the money that
should be retained by the people for
the development and enrichment OF
their own communities. Herein is the

grounds all wise people will do what
