Section

Managers and department heads of
other leading department and retail
stores of Los Angeles heartily joined
with many others in congratu-
lating the Coulter Dry Goods company
on the striking success of that firm
reception and merchandise display
from to 10 o'clock last night. The
extent of the display through the
twenty-nine different sections. the ex-
clusiVenesS of many of the new lines
and the beauty of the exhibition
brought many favorable comments
from the large crowd that accepted the
stores invitation to inspect the new
goods.
An excellent testimonial to the stand
ard of management set by the Coulter
Dry Goods company was noticeable in
the fact that although each section dis
play was arranged independently, it
harmonized so we'll with the adjoining
that visitors were surprised to learn
that the whole effect had not been laid
out by a head expert. This was par
ticularly remarked on by representa-
tives of the other large retail stores,
who spoke of the absence of any jar
ring note in assembling together dis
plays sovering SO wide and varied a
range.
Importations and exclusive lines
were prominent in many sections. In
the silk and velvet section, in laces
and embroideries, linens and the
womens garments particularly visit
ors We're delighted with the exhibits of
the neWets and latest. Shamrock lin
ems, brocade damasks, arts and crafts
pieces. rugs and tapestries. things for
men as well as for feminine visitors
everything, in fact, in dry goods that
any one could think of, were arranged
for easy inspection of the stores
guests, and the employees were ready to
give information about any feature.
Bungalow Draws Attention
One of the many displays which at
tracted special attention was a bunga-
low on the third floor, built and deco
rated from the stocks in the rug and
drapery section. In the jewelry Sec
ton many of the newest settings were
seen on first display in Los Angeles.
ITS like a worlds fair; | must go
