BIG STORES ARE
BEAUTY BOWERS
Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart
and Bowman & Co. Examples
of Civic Pride

! Harrisburg by Memorial Day is go
ing to be bower of beauty. Window
and porch boxes are going up every
where Among the downtown stores
that are handsomely decorated in this
way are those of Dives, Pomeroy and
Stewart and Bowman and Company.
both of which are examples of what
every store in town should be and
doubtless will be in the years to
come, for every summer is going to
sec a spread of the flower city idea.
! Miss Martha Buehler, who last year
was chairman of the garden committee
of the Civic Club, has received a letter
from George w. Armpriester of the
Central Iron and Steel Company, in
which he expresses a desire to enter
as a contestant for the best garden
kept among industrial plants and pub
! lie buildings.
This request offers an opportunity
to straighten out any misunderstand-
! ing that may exist with respect to a
repetition of last years contest. The
/ burdensome task which was imposed
upon members of the Civic Club in SUI
pervising the contest last year neces-
STATED the decision this year not to
| have any garden contest. but simply
| to give the matter the hearty support
and assistance of the club wherever it
is needed. 1t is being left to the earn
est activity and initiative of indivi-
duals to carry on the work which was
so successfully started under the Civic
Clubs supervision in 1915.
