Behind them, ranged row on row, are
samples of paper that cover the demand
of every social and business requirement
In the center of the aisle back of the
first showcase is a third showcase, and
here are found bits of ornamentatior
that are not made of paper. Little china
and marble figures, quantity carved and

used as paper weights or purely to please

are only a few of the wonders that car

Great Demand for Paper.
Then wandering back the casual GUS

ance of the whole establishment It com.
prises two counters, behind which are
stacked the regular styles of paper in
constant demand, and of which an
amount is bought that would stagger the
unthinking man If he heard of it OF
hand.
Still farther back, and reached by a
flight Of stairs, is a sort Of mezzanine
where Mr.. Merryman has his office. It
much resembles a very high stage, and
from it's point of vantage the manager
can in an instant see whether any Gus
toner is not being waited on.
From this stage Mr.. Merryman directs
the business of his office during the long

from this point, the whole establishment
moves smoothly and without friction.

Travelling men representing manufac-

novelties, travelling from the coast of

their unqualified opinion that this is the

ought to know.
The engraving and enclosing depart

highest grade w rk is turned out, work
that is equal to any done in Philadelphia,

The universal exclamation of visitors

they first enter the store is: What a

Strolling down street from Fourteenth
the pedestrian, midway the block-or at
1881, to be exact-is confronted by a
daintily arranged show window above
which is the legend "R- P. Andrews

travels back to the idea of a paper COM
pany in Louisiana avenue-a company
that ships out great bales of merchandise
in two-horse truck wagons, and carries
on an enterprise Of stupendous proper
tfonS
This new side Of the R. P. Andrews
Paper Company dazes him for the moment.
The wide show window is filed with
novelties of all kinds. Little images
made Of paper, baskets, and delicately
tinted stationery, fixtures that might be
used on miIadys writing desk, and others
that might come in handy as part of the
average business mans Office. are among
the features that the window has to dis

sprigs Of holly and punches Of mistletoe
with sprigs Of green add to the appear

Let US suppose for a moment that the
pedestrian, lured by what he has seen
from the outside, enters and inquiries of
the business Of this store. A pleasant
faced man, who introduces himself as
o. P. Merryman, manager of the store
greets the stranger.
This" he said, us the retail store
of the r. P. Andrews Paper Company.
We do not cater to the huge trade that
the Louisiana avenue department seeks.
Our mission is to supply the needs of the
fashionable customer-or any other Gus
toner. We sell the novelties and unusual
styles in stationery that other retail
stores don't carry"
Considering this for a moment one
wonders what other stationery stores do
in competition with this retail establish
ment.
Manifestly they are hard put TO keep
up with the pace. This beautifully fur
nished store mas al its command the
limitless resources of the entire big
wholesale company which at the present
time attends to trade demands through
out the Southern and Mississippi Valley
States.
..Hurry-up" Wagon, If Needed.
r. P. Andrews has declared, and he
usually means what he says, that rather
than have this store go without the spe-
cial order of one customer he would put
a stated amount Of the commodity in his
famous hurry up" wagon and rush it at
full tilt up fashionable street at
o'clock In the afternoon.
But this really isn't necessary.
The store is equipped with every sort
and style Of stationery that the most i'm
aginative customer could desire. Every

o. P. Merryman. 1t is said that every
business man has his hobby. This F
street store of the Andrews Company has
been Mr.. Merryman's hobby. The days
and nights are all too short" when It
comes to devoting time and attention to
this store.
Has Loyal Force of Workers.
Mr.. Merryman has entire charge OF
the immense stationery business Of the
Andrews Company, doing all the buying
for the wholesale as we'll as the retail
end, and the direction OF the city and
road statesmen. The forty clerks that he
has under his direct supervision are COM
petent and absolutely loyal.
Mention should be made OF Mr.. Merry
mans "right-hand bower" in the whole
sale department in Louisiana avenue
Miss Bessie Etchison-who has at her
fingers ends the details Of this vast de-
partment.
Mr. Merryman has systematized his de-
partment until it runs like cIockwork
Each featured line is in charge Of a
competent clerk. The loose-leaf depart
ment is a business in itself.
1t is safe to say that Mr.. Merryman is
if not the best posted man. one Of the
best posted men on stationery in the
United States, and when we stop to think
that stationery embraces thousands and
thousands Of different articles, such
knowledge is broad. indeed.
