The Passing of the Fair Store

A business romance. around which
is woven more than the usual quota
OF sentiment. comes 20 light with
the passing OF the Fair store. at
Sample and Michigan SITS.
The Fair is one OF the oldest and
best known business establishments
in the city. Here for two genera
lions people have shopped.
Started more than 20 years ago
In a room with dimensions OF lSx30
feet, the Fair has grown and pros
pered as a result OF the original
business policy adopted by the
founder of the store. This same
policy, that has been the foundation
of so many successful concerns,
was merely "A square deal for
everybody and favors for none. 8"
The Fair, owned by David Cohn &
Sons. was stated by the father. As
the sons grew TO manhood they
were given places in the store, where
they learned the business as the
father conducted 1t and which was
in a state OF constant growth and
expansion. These sons, Leo R..
Samuel C. and Arthur B., are well
known in South Bend, although two
Of them. Leo and Arthur. are now
engaged in business in Denver.
With the closing Of the Fair. Mr..
Cohn & Sons will retire from the
retail dry goods field in South Bend

REPORT ON WATERWAY
MEETING IN CAPITAL

Firmly convinced that the United
States government is now ready to
undertake the improvement Of the
important waterways throughout the
country. and to make water trans
portation feasible by the construc-
ton Of various canals, Edgar f.
Johnston and A. G. Graham, who
represented this part of the state at
the recent national waterways con-
gress at Washington, addressed the
members of the Chamber Of Com
merce at it's MONDAY luncheon Mon
day.
The talks OF Messrs Johnston and
Graham were somewhat in the ma
ture OF report OF the progress made
by the waterways congress. They
predicted that the government at no
distant date will begin the improve
ment OF present waterways and will
dig canals to provide a connecting
link in the proposed expansive in
land waterways transportation sys-
tenn urged upon the government by
communities throughout the coun-
try.
Already certain waterways pro-
jects are under way, the speakers
pointed out, and they predicted that
ii will be but a short time until ac-
tual steps will be taken by the gov

and devote their time 20 their many
other interests. which include a
chain OF stores throughout the coun-
try. The Boston shoe store here.
which is TO be continued. and a large
store in Elkhart form a part OF the
holdings OF the company. Samuel
C Cohn, who has directed his at
tention for the most part 10 the re-
tail shoe business, will continue his
activity along that line, while the
father will look after the many
other interests of the family.
In 1905 the Fair moved into the
present place of business, which at
that time was regarded as the fin
est equipped general store in the
state. The building is TO be occu-
pied by a branch Of the Citizens
National bank.
The firm has decided to close out
its stock through the medium OF
retail selling rather than by turn
ing over the stock TO some other
company. The store is at present
closed in order that the stock may
be marked down and made ready
for the sale, which starts Thursday.
The sale will continue until the
stock is disposed Of, and every effort
will be made TO close out as soon
as possible, owing 70 the fact that
the bank is anxious 10 open us
branch at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

MARKET UPTURN
General Motors is Another
FavOrite During Strong
Day on Exchange.

NEW YORK. March 3.-U. s.
Steel and General Motors were
the favorites in today's strong
market. the former being up
over two points and the latter
up five points. L. s. Steel has
always been considered the lead
er in a movement in the market
hence il is no wonder that sub
stantial gains were established
in the balance of the list
Call money was offered plenti-
fully at five percent which
seems 10 be a fair rate under
existing conditions. Oil stocks
which were depressed early in
the session again came TO the
front and remained strong.
Rail issues also came in for
their share OF activity and
strength led by Southern and
Union Pacific. Regular dividend
was declared on American Car
and Foundry. The market Is in
the midst of a bull movement
and broadening public interest
is indicative of confidence in
the future.
