Violet Mac MILAN Visits Fargo Stores This Week
Violet Mac Millan--Orpheum Headliner
Visits Fargo Stores and Tells Story Of a Pleasant Day
With the Merchants.

Miss Violet Macmillan. who is ap-
peartng at the Orpheum during the
first half o the week arrived in the
city Saturday and decided to compare
the stores of the city with those of
the hundreds of others that she has
visited during her professional career.
She was so a~greeably surprised that
she has consented to tell the readers of
The Forum of her experiences on her
trip through the city. The interview
with the dainty little actress appears
below:
l am surprised at the stocks and the
beautiful new things that the mer-
chants Of Fargo have secured for the
ladies of the city, and it is seally on
derful to find such a large assortment
in a town no larger than this beautiful
little city.
My first visit was made to the de-
Lendrecie department store where they
have i~naugurated the Cinderella on
test. Any lady over IS years of age
who a put on the slipper that I wear
will be presented with box seats for
themselves and friend. Their store is
indeed a surprise not only in it's mon
ster size. but in the very low prices
they make.
While at this store 1 was able to Sc
cure some of my favorite perfume,
known as the Dorothy Vernon, which
is made at my home town in Grand
Rapids, Mich, and I know the ladies
excellence. This Is made by the Jen-
pings Perfume Co., of that city.
Noticing as l came out Of there a
trunk store and being like all profess
sionaI people, interested in our travel
ing homes, I called at the Monson
Trunk Co., and was surprised that /
had stumbled on a master trunk MAX
er. The people of the stage enjoy
knowing how their baggage is made
and Mr.. Monson was very kind in X
planning how he made the best trunks.
was attracted to the fur store of JOS
eph & Hoenck On Broadway by their ex-
cellent window display and stopped In. If
there is anything that an actress en-
joys it is beautiful furs and they more
than pleased me with the wonderful
stock they are showing.
Next door 1 noticed a fine display or
beautiful hats in a window and stop
ped into one of the neatest little mil
linery stores 1 have ever visited. The
store is a dainty place and, my good
ness, the stock is indeed beautiful. The
fads of Broadway are all typified in
Holderman's new millinery store.
Being from Grand Rapids, Mich. I
was of course interested in furniture
as my home city is the largest furni-
Jur6 TOWN. IN the WOIlu. 4 IOuIu ia d
new building on upper Broadway a
complies line of Grand Rapids made
furniture and it was like a visit home
to walk through the large aisles and
see the many beautiful samples of the
artisans work from my native city.
Having some jewelry to be repair
ed / called at Hagdn-Newton Co.,
and there ! found on display the
greatest stock of diamonds, cut glass
and general jewelry seen in my
travels. The store is a grand exhibit
of what a real jewelry store Should
be and / was pleased that this city
could boast of such an up to date and
beautiful store.
Our next stop was at the establish
ment of Max Stern in the deLendrecie
building and there I found an artist
in the designing of ladies costumes
busily engaged in getting out several
new. suits and they. were all very chic
and charming. The ladies should take
advantage of Mr.. Stern's ability.
The Jansrud studio was the next
place visited. I was drawn to the place
by the beautiful pictures and I had
heard of him as I am one of the most
photographed persons, Mr.. Jansrud
