The Romance of the
House of Banberger

goods was sold out Mr.. Bamberger I'M
dertook to replenish it. In this way
permanent store was created, and in
February Of 1893 a partnership of
three, consisting of Messrs. Bamberger,
Frank and Fuld, and known as L. Bam-
berger & Co., was formed, which ex-
listed UP to the time of Mr.. Franks
death in 1911, and which has continued
under Messrs, Bamberger and Fuld
ever since
At first only two floors of the old
Ballantine building we're occupied
After two years had elapsed another
floor was added and then the fourth.
Finally the entire six floors of the Bal
lantine structure were in USE
After about six years the increased
business necessitated still further ex-
tension, and the Halsey street corner
Of the old Bamberger store was erect
ed. In 1907 1t became necessary to
have still more room, and a narrow
strip was acquired on Halsey street,
from Bank street south, and another
six-story addition completed. This
housed the Bamberger store until the
new building was finished, in October,
1912.
The growth Of the Bamberger store
reads like romance, as indeed il is,
but this romance is based upon tangible
things, and owes its existence largely
to the pluck and energy and persever-
ance OF the three men who founded the
business two decades ago.
The Bamberger store today, as you
know, is regarded as one of the
worlds leading mercantile establish
ments. II is constantly growing, and
those who are with us twenty years
hence will doubtless look back upon as
phenomenal a growth as do those who
have followed the fortunes Of the
house Of Bamberger from its inception
in 1893.

Paterson, were walking to their sum-

passed two suspicious-l looking strang-
ers who carried suitcases. Nesby and
Holmes continued to their cottages,
where they found doors open and
clothing and some sporting goods
missing.
They retraced their steps and over
took the two men. The strangers
drew pistols and fired, but the bullets

TWENTY-ONE years ago last Sep
TENDER there came TO the budding town
of Newark two young New York bust
ness men, who leased two floors of the
then fine new Ballantine building on
the corner of Market street and Library
court, and established the firm Of Hill
& Cragg This young firm, because OF
insufficient capital, died aborning so
to speak. Messrs. Hill & Cragg so
iourned in Newark for a period OF
about ninety days.
When the crash came an assignee
was appointed, who advertised the
stock for sale in bulk Mr.. Louis BAN
berger, who at that time was resident
Of New York, heard of the sale, and,
having previously entertained hopes of
getting into the Newark retail field,
made an offer which, singularly enough,
was the only one received.
Mr.. Bamberger secured the stock and
Immediately came to Newark to ar
range for the sale Of it. Being CON-
parative stranger in these parts, he
made tentative agreement with the
former owners to remain with him
temporarily and assist him during the
sale. Messrs. Hill and Cragg, how
ever, did not remain, and in order to
fill the gap thus created Mr.. Bamberger
called upon young New York friend
by the name OF Felix Fuld, and also
his brother-in-law, Louis M Frank.
These two young mon responded
promptly and we're with him when the
sale started on frosty December 9Th,
1892.

NOT A MAN BUT A PRINCIPLE.

An amendment to the Constitution
fixing the Presidential term at six
years and forbidding reelection has
been passed by the Senate and is now
before the House of Representatives,
1t makes woodrow Wilson the first
six-year President. 1t is so drawn as
to exclude from future contests Theo-
dore Roosevelt and William H. Taft
With respect to this movement it is
gratifying to note that the House is
inclined to deliberation. Serious as
are the evils which the Senate amend
ment is expected to cure, they are not
the worst of the faults attaching to
our choice of Chief Magistrates, and
there is no powerful reason why any
former President should be disquali-
fed.
Mr.. Roosevelt's ambition has been
almost without limit, but an amend
ment to the Constitution which we
believe will be read and respected
many centuries hence is not needed to
curb it. The third term in his case
was more of menace last year than
| it ever will be again.
What is demanded is comprehen-
sive amendment covering not only one
term hereafter for the President but
providing for election by popular vote
and inauguration within thirty or six
ty days, with the Congress chosen al
the same time assembling with equal
promptness. All these things should
be arranged for one measure.

the cumbersome Electoral College in

drapery which the present mode of
development demands. Very attractive

veloped in black crepe meteor, of a
light weight texture. The trimming of
white satin contrasts prettily with the
material of the gown. White shadow
lace was used for the yoke. Folds of
drapery caught at the side front and
side back are an up-to-date feature.
The girdle which falls in two ends at
the side is made of the same material
as the gown. Very close lines are OBJ
served above the hem. But not all of
us are fortunate enough to go South
for mid-winter outing. With the
vast majority the grind of life goes
on throughout the season. If we but

DIED OF EXPOSURE
Pathetic Case Of Little Girl Found
Alone on the City Streets. Death
Could Have Been Averted.

A poor little gum vendor was found
dead on the streets of New Orleans,
the other day. 1t was not the chilly
weather that had killed her, but a
protracted cold and cough that had
gone unattended. 1t had so affected
her lungs that pneumonia took hold
and the child died after medical relief
was too late. There are hundreds of
cases like this, even in the wealthiest
families. Too many people laugh at
colds, and then wonder why pneu-
monia, grippe and finally tuberculosis
gain entrance to the system.
Ge-Rar-Dy Lung Balsam has long
been recognized as a preventive for
serious cold weather diseases. II
quickly checks a bad cough, loosens
up cold, heals and soothes the in
famed membranes. No household
should be without this valuable rem
edy. 1t is especially useful in the
cure of Group and whooping cough
When the cost of this remedy, only
25c bottle, is considered, one quickly
realizes the foolishness of being with
out it, All druggists sell Ge-Rar-Dy

But in beginning all over again with

thorough about it. The persons will
