BEAUTIFUL WINDOWS
ATTRACT MANYFIRST
NIGHT STYLE SHOW
Ribbons Awarded Merchants in Var
iOus Lines BY Women's Commit
tee Of Judges-Splendid Line
Of Merchandise on
Display.

Maysville's fall style show was
opened formally last night. Although
the entire week is considered Style
Week, the grand opening had to be
postponed until last night on account
of the Fuel Administration Light
less Night" order.
The windows in the stores and
shops in the business district between
the L. & N. station and Wall street
were never more attractive. The mer-
chants had done their best and no city
in the state irrespective of size could
show more beautifully and timely dec
GRATED windows than those which the
shoppers will see in Maysville this
week.
The special committee of women
composed of Mrs. Reese Kirk, Miss
Lucy Baldwin, Mrs. A. o. Taylor, Mrs.
w. B. Baldwin and Miss Minerva
Stockton, viewed all of the windows
and awarded the ribbons to the fol-
lowing stores in each division:
Confectioners: f. H. Traxel, first;
Elite Confectionery, second.
Novelties: John O'Keefe, first; l..
H. Young's Racket Store, second
Furniture: McIlvain, Knox &
Dienery first; John Brisbois, second.
Hardware: Mike Brown.
Drugs. C. Pecor, first; NJ. F.
Williams & Co., second.
Wall Paper: Hendrickson Paint
Co.
Jewelry: Charles L. Traxel, first;
A. Clooney, second.
Banks: Bank of Maysville, first;
First-Standard Bank and Trust Co.,
second.
Clothing: George H. Frank & Co.,
first; SQuires-Brady Co., second.
Dry Goods: Merz Brothers, first ;
D. Hunt e Son, second.
Groceries, ]. C. Cablish & Bro,
first; R. Lee Lovel, second.
Shoes: H. H. Barley Shoe Co.
first; Merz Brothers, second.
Art Shop: Quaintance Art Shop.
The windows of the various stores
and shops, although very attractive
give one but an idea of what is to bt
found in the store. Never has there
been a more attractive fall showing il
Maysville than is to be found this
year. The majority of the stores arr
having their fall opening during thu
remainder of the week and those WHIT
fail to visit the local stores during thu
next three days will miss great bar
gains and a rare treat.

Report Of Campaign Teams Shows
Many Business Men Yet TO Sign
Up As Members Of Cham
Der Of Commerce.

Quite an enthusiastic meeting of the
Team Captains and Generals was held
at the Chamber of Commerce last
night. The Captains reported the
work as done by the several teams
and while the memberships are being
resigned by the best citizens of Mays
VILE there are others that should re-
sign and help carry on the work of
this institution.
Twenty-four new memberships and
renewals were reported at the meet
ing making the total 1877 signed up for
1919 memberships. While this is a
fairly good beginning it is by no
means sufficient to guarantee the
work for another year. The Directors
feel that the citizens should subscribe
at least 300 memberships in order to
satisfactorily sustain the organlza-
ton. There are 277 city and 116
county members supporting the
Chamber of Commerce this year.
Many of the men were soliciting to-
day and another meeting will be held
tonight at which time 1t is hoped that
sufficient subscriptions shall have
been received to guarantee another
years activity by the Chamber of
Commerce.

The price of butter fat has now

feed cows with feed so very high
