MAX EPHRAIM Will
ENLARGE BUSINESS House

A business change of some i'm
portance was announced today.
Howard B. Springer. a hat dealer IN
Wilmington for many years, and To-
Gated at No West Fourth street
for the past twenty-five years. Will
remove TO No. 203 West Seventh
street. where he will continue the
same business. The store he has oc-
cupied for so many years has been
leased by Max Ephraim. a clothing
dealer, at No. 3 West Fourth street.
The latter has outgrown his present
quarters and intends to make ex-
tersive alterations and improvements
to the two stores and greatly enlarge
his stock. He will continue in the
clothing. hat and gents furnishings
business. and will have one of the
most complete stores. when the pro-
posed improvements are completed, in
the city.
MIR. Ephraim, like Mr.. Springer. is
numbered among the pioneer business
men of the city. Mr.. Ephraim was
once located at No. 316 Market street,
and later removed to No. 504 Market.
He afterward removed to No 3 West
Fourth street, where he has been To-
Gated for several years. He has been
engaged in business in Wilmington for
thirty-five years and one of the city 8
most progressive business men.
In order 10 rid himself as much as
possible of stock now on hand in or
der to make room for the builders, Mr..
Ephraim will start a sale on Satur-
day of this week. marking down his
goods TO prices far below the original
cost. Because of the dust and dirt
which the workmen will create while
the building operations are going on
Mr.. Ephraim desires to sell OF as
much OF his present stock as possible
For this reason the prices he viii fix
on his goods will be unusually at
tractive.
