a. amazing city already noted
the world over for its wealth
and progressiveness in that line. One
reason for this wonderment is that the
merchant in question is woman.
Mrs. Mollie Netcher, owner of one of
the largest department stores in the
country, is the woman who has caused
this amazement, her latest strategic
move being the purchase of some
State street property, in the heart of
the Chicago hopping district, for 50,

tire block of ground in that section.

so that her business is not in the least
interfered with nor the final architec
tural symmetry spoiled by the delays
in acquisition.
Some critics have argued that Mrs.
Netcher's success is not so very re-
mafkaDle, as her husband had b'lllt up
the business to mammoth proportions
before he died, thus leaving the tridtng
duty of maintaining it to bis widow.
But Mrs Netc her has done more than
this, as she has nearly doubled the
business and her realty holdings.
Moreover, she has not delegated to
some man the running Of the concern,
but attends 0 that herself For half
a dozen years she has run the store.
and her progress in that time is refu-
tation of her earping critics. she
alone has invested nearly SG,000,oo0 in
downtown Chicago realty in the last
-four years.
Prior to the death of her husband
Charles Netcher, this woman had lit
