that two weeks of Radville

remaining on his back, but through
sheer inertia.

CHIEF Ambition.
The CHIEF ambition of the Asso-

is 10 emphasize the fact that these
great life insurance companies belong
to the people, and that nothing in the
way of regulation. taxation or legIs-
lation can be done TO injure them,
which the poi!cyholders win not have
to pay for themselves.
1T is hardly necessary TO reiterate
the aim and object of the Association
OF Life Insurance Presidents, but in
order to briefly inform those who
never before attended one Of our an
nual meetings, l will say that this AS
ISOLATION is four years old. and has
steadily increased since its creation in
prestige, dignity and utility. and has
for its sole purpose the promotion OF
that which is good. and the preven-
ton Of that which is bad in life in
snrance. The work Of the Associa-
ton is educational, and in every sense
1t looks after the general welfare Of
its policyholders"

Entire Front Of Glass.

Architecturally attractive, both as to in
terror and exterior, the new store is three
stories in height. 1t has been constructed
after the very latest plans for a mercan-
tile establishment. Practically the entire
front is of glass, so that there may be
every advantage in the way of light for
the display of goods. All of the interior
fittings are of mahogany, with large glass
cases on all three floors for the protection
from dust of the gowns, hats and other
articles offered for sale. The show win
dows, one on either side of the wide en-
trance, are unique In design. They were
built after Mr.. Bissells own ideas. and
besides the regular windows there are
two upright cases at the entrance which
are intended for the display of daily
specials
Jewelry and leather goods, the original
Bissell lines, have been given space or
the first floor. while on the second and

placed, respectively, the stock of ladies'

In reviewing the history of the years in
which he has been in business, Mr.. Bissef

had attained was due to the invariable

goods for spot cash. Thus he has beer
