HOME OF Low Px1cr%
Is Crowded for Fall
Opening.

Proving the significance Of its name,
the Popular store was the style center
of FL PaSo Tuesday evening at its an
nual fall opening. Not one department
but the entire department store, the
most complete in the southwest, was
thrown open for inspection. For the
first time many of the patrons of the
Popular store were given an oppor-
tunity to inspect the ready to wear, the
millinery and infant departments which
have been transferred to the second
floor of the Popular building where
they are displayed in a setting as per-
feet in its appointments as that to be
Chicago, conceded to be the perfection
of the art of trade display
The entire second floor, soft carpeted
and finished in polished woods and
mirrors, was filled with the fall and
winter fashions in the things most at
tractive to women. The new electric
propelled elevator was not able to carry
the crowds to the second floor of the
big department store, and the grand
stairway was filled during the entire
evening with a tnrong of style seeking
Ell Paso women and their escorts. At
tractively displayed in cases and on
pedestals with long streamers OF satin
ribbon were the millinery department
offerings in charge Of attendants who
obligfngly fitted and suggested to the
patrons of the Popular. To the right of
the elevator exit the infant department
received its full share of attention, the
little folks bonnets and dresses receiv-
ing their full share of the admiration
The center of attraction during the
opening evening was the display of
gowns and mats by living models Lanes
had been roped off with satin streamers
and gold and enameled posts and along
the soft carpeted lane, the models
walked gracefully before the crowds
which lined the display aisle TO admire
the gowns and millinery which were
worn by the models. So great were the
crowds which formed around these
aisles that it was almost impossible to
get from one department to another,
although there was none of the vulgar
pushing and crowding which frequently
spoil such affairs. The newly added
department of the Popular store was
fitting place for the holding of this
society style show. The second floor
has been transformed into a boudoir
with twinl1ling lights studded in the
ceiling, soft velvet carpet and French
plate mirrors on every side.
The formal opening of the big depart
ment store was not confined to the sec
ond floor OF the Popular building. Down
stairs on the main floor the different
departments were on dress parade.
Prizes had been offered for the best
departmental display and the managers
of the various sections had put their
best efforts into their work of arrang-
ing their displays. Dress goods arranged

KING CORN WILL
BREAK THE
RECORD
Crop Will Pass 3,OOO,OOO,00O
Bushels for First Time,
Worth $780, 100000.

New York, n. Y, Sept. 2S-Every day
that frost is delayed brings the king
of our cropS-corn-nearer the 3,OOO,-
O00. 900 bushel bark; and the danger
point so far as frost is concerned has
already been passed in by far the ma
jor part of the tremendous area of our
great corn belt In other words, what
ever damage may now be encountered
will undoubtedly be local and compar-
atively slight; and it is not at this
time. counting our chickens before they
are Matched, to view briefly the BEN
efits that may be expected of corn
harvest that for the first time in the
history of our country exceeds the
5000, 900, 600 bushel mark Corn today
is selling in Chicago at more than so
cents per busheL on which basis the
value of the crop in dollars and cents
is very close to $500, 900, 000-an al
most unthinkable sum. exceeding the
value of our wheat and cotton crops
combined.
This will give the west. particularly,
a renewal of purchasing power, affect
ing not only it's ability to take freely
the products of our factories, but will
at the same time mean a large traffic
for the railroads and extend to ramifi-
cations far too numerous to attempt to
mention in detail.
Corn today enters so largely into
food for man and beast that the i'm
portance of a tremendous production
can scarcely be minated. Its
uses for human consumption are so
rapidly multiplying that the transpor-
tation of prepared food products is
each year gaining rapidly in impor-
lance as an item of railroad transpor-
tation. Corn, too, enters into the
transportation problem in many indi-
rect ways AS the real basis of cattle
and provisions it becomes a particular
" large item of transportation, to say
nothing of corn itself, which is one or
the most bulky of railroad commodi-
ties.
satisfactory corn harvest at profit
able prices, backed adequately by 9TH
er favorable agricultural developments,
provides an antidote that must prove
highly effective in counteracting de-
velopments of a less favorable charac-
ter, of which there has recently been
such an unusually large array.

Prices
ProUe
A Factor

While our customers read
ilv acknowledge the SUI
periority of our millinery,
they just as quickly recog-
nize that prices made here
are in their favor. Being
wholesalers as well as re-
tailers, prices we ask are
practically what other mil
liners pay. These price
concessions apply to high
grade millinery just the
same as to that at a lower
price level.

Crowded to the doors from the time ot
opening until after 10 o'clock, the Pop

has ever attended an opening in FL
Paso. Estimated at 10000 people, the
streets leading to the big store were
filled with the crowds going and coming
from the annual opening Souvenirs had
been ordered for 5000, but this supply
was exhausted early in the evening"
The store was decorated in gold and
