The Hart and Houston Store
Requsres More Room to Ae-
commodate Its Business.


The Hart and Houston Store seems
to never be satisfied to let we'll enough
alone but is constantly adding new de-
partments and enlarging the old and
in one way and another keeping in ad-
vance of the city. They have leased
the two rooms in the Crouch block adj
joining the Unaka National Bank and
will at once remodel them by taking
out the partition and cutting arched
entrances from the main store into the
new annex. The room now being
used as a shoe department will be
closed. The millinery and shoe de-
partments will go into the annex as
newly arranged and both will be great
ly enlarged. The millinery depart
ment has become one of the chief
features of this populary store and
bids fair this year to exceed anything
it has done in the past. Miss Mollie
Campbell, who has been so long with
Miss Hardy, is now in charge of the
department and has many able assist
ants. 1t goes without saying that
your wants in this line will be readily
and satisfactorily supplied this year
The annex will be ready as soon as
competent men can do the work and
it will be in keeping with the general
store, quietly elegant

that none OF the bills submitted by the

the use of the recent wage increases as
an excuse for rate increases pointed TO

He called attention to what ne de-
scribed as a prediction Of the heads OF
great trunk lines that the pending in
creases were only an earnest of what is
TO come-that the public Is to expect
and become accustomed to a progressive
rise in rates throughout tho country.
Mr.. Brandeis assumed the burden OF
