The large and eyer-increasing bust
ness necessitated a change, and three
years ago it was removed to its pres

Klein. the proprietor, has found 1t
necessary from time to time to install

increasing demands made upon 1t.
Mr.. Klein has always been very

it Is a pleasure to US to refer to him

MISS IOIIISE b. VoEHI..

Besides handling splendid line
Of millinery and millinery goods, Miss
Louise E.. Voehl, OF .119 Sixteenth
street, handles a full and complete
line of notions which she gives to the
general public at the most reasonable
prices. In her millinery department,
however, Miss Voehl surpasses other
people engaged in the same line Of
business, for her styles are all the
newest and latest, and then she has
such. large trade that she can we'll
afford to. give to her customers the
benefit of much lower prices. A
millinery creation which comes from
her place is SO new, and so pleasant
to- look upon that it at once attracts
the attention Of both sexes, and In
variably occasions the most favorable
comment. AS: for notions, she has
the best and neatest of them, and
her prices for these goods are also
most reasonable, The Majority asks
its readers to. take cognizance of her
place of business and patronize it.
