IS before stated, the main bust
hes of the B. B. H. Is located at the
Corner of Baltimore and Liberty
Screets, running through to Fayette
Street, which Is considered the best
location in Baltimore.
The special feature of their New
Building Is the improved mechanical
devices for handling their immense
volume of business, which they
claim will reduce their expense OF
handling the business materially in
comparison to what it costs their
competitors today to handle their
business with laborers.
They attribute the biggest part OF
their success in business to the fact
that they have always handled their
business more economically than any
Other House and thereby they have
been enabled to live up to their ia
nous motto, MORE GOODS FOR
SAME MONEY-SAME GOODS FOR
LESS MONEY"
The architecture of the building
and the magnificence OF its interior
finish make it one of the handsomest
Wholesale Houses in America.
We congratulate Baltimore and the
Baltimore Bargain House upon its
wonderful achievement. We look
upon Baltimore as the chief South
ern City and we are proud of her
and anything she does In the way OF
expansion in the line of business.

The Baltimore Bargain House has

The Baltimore Bargain House has
just completed history building,
which covers one-third of an i'm.
mense city block, with an estimated
floor space Of 100000 square feet.
The site is the corner of Baltimore
and Liberty Streets and running
back to Garrett Street.
This building, added to the adjoin-
ing buildings which the B. B. H.
Salesrooms now occupy, extends over
almost IS per cent. of the entire
block.
All combined the B. B. H. build
ings cover almost three large city
blocks. This includes the building
mentioned above and their big Fay
cite Street building, their Clothing
Factory, their Warehouse at Scott,
Stockholm and Wicomico Streets
(Which in itself takes up an entire
block, and other buildings about the
city of Baltimore.
In 1911 the Sales of the B. B. H.
amounted to $13,345, 1885. This
statement was sworn to before No
tary before being published.
This makes them the Fourth Larg-
est Wholesale House in any one city
doing business throughout the United
States.
Taking. into consideration that
they have No Travelling Statesmen,
they sell MORE Goods than any
other Wholesale House In America,
in any one city, without the aid OF
Drummers.

Cremation Among the Franks.

An interesting archaeological dis
covery was made lately near Brecht
(Belgium), where the remains of what
was evidently a Fra1kish cemetery
have been found The main interest in
the discovery lies in the fact that
clear traces are to be seen in the Gem
etery of cremated remains, as well
as of bodies buried in the ordinary
way, whereas hitherto 1t has always
been believed that cremation was not
practiced amongst the Franks.
