PENSACOLA
eREATLY
STARTLED
A Midseason Event That Is
Being Talked About All
Over the City-Is the
Sale at B. Gerson's.

10 Startle and enthusa an entire
community with a sale of merchandise
is something that rarely happens.
That, however, is exactly what G. w.
Groves & Go. has done during the
past hfteen days at B. GeTson's jew
elry House.
1t is, of course, no uncommon sight
TO see big throng struggle to enter
department store, where hundreds
or thousands of articles are offered
Tor sale at bargain prices, but to see
hundreds OF eager men and women
Inpatiently crowding and pushing to
enter jewelry, store in response to
an announcement of sale, pays an
unusual tribute to the character of
the sale and the value of newspaper
advertising.
When G.. w. Groves & Co. an
nouncd this sale fifteen days ago there
were scoffers galore. and the ALLEGED
wise ONES declare that Its e-fort
wasted to attempt such a thing" but
G. w Groves & Co. knew what it was
about. Nothing was left undoae to
make the preparations complete. Ev-
cry bit of the stock was gone cover
and the prices cut down TO the very
h1lt OF the cost mark The doors were
closed to give the clerks a free hand
TO get the sale ready. and what was
the result? 1t can be best expressed
IN the words of B. Gerson, when he
was seen by representative of The
Journal yesterday.
While We were saagu;ne of our
success in our innovation" said Mr..
Gerson, I'VE did not expect the over
whelming response tha- met our effort
IN this event. We nave never had a
sale like this before, and. naturally,
could not guage the results. but we
had plenty of faith and conviction
that the people of Pensacola would
Instantly appreciate the best iewelry
and chinaware bargains ever offered
here. In order to leave no stone I'M
turned to make the sale genuine and
complete success we did not re-
serve one bit of our big stock. We
went over it all and marked it down.
in accordance with our advertised an
nouncement of prices. To be fully
prepared We employed fifty sales
people, and at the time thought that
this number would be more than nec-
eSsary, but we did not have long to
wait before we found out that there
was work -enousia-zfoasz .ssAz<.a4s.-cles-lse--
The crowd began to gather before our
doors fully an hour before We opened
on the first day of the sale. When
we did open mp only portion of the
waiting throng could get into the

wonderful, Many of those who came
told me that they had doubts as TO

POLICE NEED NOT
NAME DRUNKARDS
Byrd Liquor Law Imposes Duty
on Saloon-Keepers and Not
on Authorities.

Much speculation in regard to tina
Byrd liquor bill, passed by the Legis.
lature and signed by the Governor, hai
touched upon the question OF whether
the police authorities must furnish "a
the saloon-keepcrs a list OF habit,ya
drunkards. Tho new law states simply
that no saloon keeper shall sell to ar
habitual drunkard but 1t does not
impose on the Chief of Police tho
onerous duty Of naming and placing
on list in every barroom those who
arc considered to be under ban.
Alderman T. III. Elicit recently, In
troduced an ordinance in Council to
appoint a probation officer whose BUSH
ness It shall be to look after and
report habitual drunkards, and 1t would
seem to be his duty, IL such an Of
foe be created, to inform saloons
keepers Of the names of those who
are known to the police to be in need
of others care. But there is no men
ton In the Byrd law even Of such an
officer as this, and the aid to saloon
Keepers in making out such list Is
purely optional with the police author
tiles.
In several cities in Virginia the
chiefs Of police are making out lists
OF habitual drunkards, but they arc
taking on themselves duty which is
not imposed by law, and one which
might get them In trouble through
suits for damages. -
