SOME FINE FRESCOES.
The New Steiger Store at Springfield, With Its
Grand Staircase and Beautiful Paintings.

This work is by Hans Guterman,
the we'll known decorator of Spring.
field, and the history of it's develop
ment is not the least feature. Mr..
Guterman studied in the city of Ulm
on the Danube, under Prof. Hey
berger, noted authority, and these
figures come from a great pageant
held in the city of Ulm but few
years ago, in 1890, when materials
and participants were drawn from all
of the royal and wealthy families of
the German empire. They came to-
gether to do honor to the great city
which for centuries was the leading
market of the world in the production
of silks, velvet and leather. Prof.
Hey berger was the moving spirit in
this colossal moving picture, wherein
over 5000 people took part, and he
completed his work by drawing and
publishing complete picture of the
great parade. There are literally
yards and yards of it and every figure
is correct, even to the point of person
al portraits in great many cases.
Prof. Heyberger and his wife and
many of Mr.. Guterman's friends are
pointed out. In the background are
the buildings of the ancient city,
among them the city hall, 900 years
old, and this, with other buildings,
is reproduced unobtrusively in the
The Press., 1909-03-31

There is much to say about the
Steiger store in Springfield, with its
large addition and general re-arrange-
ment The handsome building which
was opened in June, 1906, was hard
~ completed before it began to ex.
pand, and an addition which improves
it superbly has been thrown open,
giving the store sheer depth of 225
feet, nearly 100 feet wide in the
rear, and perhaps it is all that can
be said in short article when we
say that from any part of this great
room any other part may be clearly
seen, so widely generous is the space
given to the great aisles and to each
department
The first thing that strikes you as
you enter from the street is the great
staircase, 225 feet from you, but it is
SO strikingly beautiful in it's proper
tions that you are Immediately drawn
to it. AS to the departm ents, the
most that can be said here is that the
store remains what it began, "the
woman's store" and that every de-
partment has been greatly increased
because of this enlargement, while
but three departments have been
added, those of domestics, toilet goods
and linens, each being practically
store in itself.
The Press., 1909-03-31

background of Mr.. Guterman's fresco.
Altogether, this is a very fine pro.
duction, staircase and pictures com
bined, and one is not disappointed
when he emerges into the second floor
and the coat and suit department.,
with its beautiful furnishings, it's
many commodious suit and fitting
rooms, and the fine tone cast over
everything by the floods of light from
three sides and above, softened by the
tinted walls and the rich dark green
carpet The third floor is devoted
entirely to millinery, and it is safe
to say that there is no such room any
where in this part of the country.
The fourth floor is, as formerly, de-
voted to women's, children's and
infants dresses and underwent. On
the street floor, at the extreme rear,
there is just approaching completion
q restaurant which, for beauty of
artistic conception, is a gem. This,
again, is Mr.. Guterman's work The
general color scheme is in soft blues
and greys, colors and design of both
the paneled walls and the mosaic
floor being in the Biedermeier. 1t is
an old style, which for simplicity and
quiet beauty is wonderfully attractive
and restful. There will be rows of
small tables seating three each. and
through the center five large tables
seating from four to six persons each
At the left is model kitchen, and if
the capacity of this room is over taxed,
The Press., 1909-03-31

This staircase is really a master
piece, but the beautiful frieze deco
rations which reach from it on either
side on the rear wall are so novel in
modern store decoration that they
nearly divide the honors. 1t is per-
haps more just to say that they and
the finely designed stair make a COM
pleteness which is notably good. The
decorative scheme is of a procession
moving from right to left, and show
ing the costumes of Europe covering
a period of over 400 years, from be-
fore the Reformation to the time of
the French revolution
With somewhat unusual appropri-
ateness the distant dates head the
procession. Two panels are shown
of q group of little boys in charge of
their tutor, a monk, and following
them a group of little girls in their
quaint, picturesque garments, in
charge of a nun. Then follow the
elaborate court dresses of the periods
which make SO picturesque and very
attractive points in the history of the
European peoples. There are the
knights and ladies, the pulled and
slashed sleeves of feudal times, the
grandees with their train bearers, and
the bellies and dandies of the French
empire when Napoleon brought it
down.
The Press., 1909-03-31

which seems much more than likely,
the broad staircase leads directly into
the spacious basement, where another
cafe can be installed.
The shoe department. merits special
mention. 1t is in the same location
as formerly, but is two-thirds larger
and connected in every way with the
store. The room is fitted from floor
to ceiling with shelves in beautiful
order. There are oak individual
chairs along the heavy green Wilton
carpet on either side of the aisle,
while in the rear is special depart
ment, beautifully fitted, for children,
with little chairs and tables for them,
and larger chairs for their mothers.
A novel feature is the narrow, in
clined foot-mirrors which run around
the entire store below the show cases.
In front one enters directly into a
rest and waiting room eighteen feet
deep by the width of the store, and
separated from the main salesroom by
handsome pillared arch of quartered
OAK. There is a desk and telephone,
chairs and deep settle, and it is all
exceedingly inviting.
This is brief description, com.
plete story would be very long, and
the best way for you to get it is to
go personally, a trip that is vel.
worth taking for this one end.
The Press., 1909-03-31

A description of the great staircase
and the fine fresco on either side is
something that cannot be omitted,
whatever regret one many have in
telling the story, at being Obliged to
omit much attractive detail 1t
sweeps up from the middle of room
nearly so feet wide, with a broad,
short flight ten feet in width, to
deep and wide landing, against the
rear wall. At either side this land
ing is round, reaching out over the
floor below, and from it spring the
twin stairoases which reach to the
second floor level. At the back of the
first landing. or balcony, is a great
mirror the full width of the main
stair, while on either side of the
mirror are panels done in beautiful
green shades, with classic borders
picked out in gold illuminated mosaic
Above the mirror and side panels, and
fully % feet wide, reaching to the
ceiling of the high second story, is an
immense show case of three panels,
where beautiful gowns are displayed
against a drapery background of EN-
pire- green velour. The Grecian scroll
above these windows contains a large
marble clock. All of the woodwork
in this staircase is in beautifully
treated quaItered oak, and the balus
trades are filed with an ornamented
grill in copper green shades. On the
newel-posts stand beautifully designed
electric lamps.
