A feature OF the store equipment
consists of separate apartments for
every one of the varied articles. of
apparel for men and boys in the
mammoth stock, and the fixtures
throughout the emporium are ex-
hibitions of the splendid taste en-

On the occasion of the auspicious

promising, the profuse decorations
were ideal in every particular and
conformed strictly to the finest
taste, making scene most pleasing
even to the degree of inspiring and
none saw except to admire. Gov
erlets emblematic Of several lead
ing fraternal orders such as the
Masonic, the Elks, the Eagles, the
Columbians and number of others,
were used on the tables and coun
ters with very beautiful effect and
the floral features of the decoration
consisted of ferns, blooming plants
and cut flowers used in great pro-
fusion and arranged in an artistic
manner, affording extraordinary
loveliness in the interior scenery.
The full capacity of the Ffayman
Greenhouse Company was taxed in
furnishing the flowers and plants
for the affair. AS souvenirs of the
opening, the many visitors carried
away carnations and the like, gra-
clously presented by those in charge
of and assisting at the opening.
Truly, it was after the order of a
flower store as when the ladies ar
rived they were given fresh cut
flowers anG as they passed out it
was stream of floral beauty. Tho
unaware of the opening,
would readily have concluded that
there was a flower show therein.
Glenn S. Richie received many
compliments for the artistic window
decorations, than which none more
clever were seen in the city, and he
truly deserves them, as the work
was the creation of one of the
greatest window artists.
1t is needless to state that The
program of music played by the
famous Cadenza orchestra under the
direction of Emil Raspillaire meas
ured up fully to the big occasion.
Messrs. Millirens, owners of the
store, ingratiated themselves into
the hearts of many a clarksburger
at the great opening and they start
in business here with the sincere
wish of all the many who were their
guests on this occasion that the new
store may be from its very begin,
ming. one of the leading mercantile
factors of the business life Of
a wish doubtless to be
at once, as the firm is
an enterprising, experienced one,
eager to serve the people right and
to do its full part in the develop
ment Of the city.
