was made at the opening on Saturday

The store was decorated, with palms
and spring flowers, which, with the
ribbons and large sample OF the many
varieties of leather, all tastefuly ar
ranged, gave the appearance OF verit-
able parlor.
The striking effect Of the opening
night will be continued not only in
the appearance of the store, but also
in the quality and above all, the
prices of the goods sold The Peary
Company is handling the very best
samples from all the largest shoe
manufacturers in the country, and i5
selling in Wilmington for prices
ranging from s1.95 to S2.95 shoes
which are bringing anywhere from
four to seven dollars in other stores
of the city.
Coupons will be issued by the COM

shoes The coupons each Of which
bears a different number, will be
given out by the company until De-
