The wholesale shoe market is SUI
dering from a great surplus of mer-
cshahdise, much OF which was destined
tor export trade and which has been
thrown back upon this country by the

refusal of European buyers to accept
the goods ordered.
Much Of the 1000 900 pair stock now
beng offered at retail by the Nemours
Trading Company is said to consist

SYeverai of the leading auctioneers in
the wholesale trade say that large
stocks of export shoes have been

STREET PAVING
ORDINANCE valid
Court cf Appeals Says In Opinion
Handed Down Friday and
Work May Be Rushed

Work upon the building of Rich
monls paved streets may now pro-
cced rapidly, for the Court of Appeals
at Frankfort Friday handed down an
opinion that the city has a right to
levy upon abutting property for two
thirds OF the cost of tuilding the paw
ed streets.
The opinion of the states highest
court HIS been awaited with eager
ness, foi' the taking of bids and let
ting of contracts for street work has
been held up until this suit was acted
upon. The suit was a friendly one
and brought by Mr.. E. V. Elder, as q
taxpayers, simply to test the absolute
validity of the city ordinance levy
ing upon abutting properly for two
thirds OF the cost of the proposed new
streets. The city, of course, is to pay
the other one-third out of the $150,G0C
bond issue which was voted.
This decision means that there need
now be no further delay. Bids may
be called for at once for street paving
as the reconstruction has gotten to a
point where some streets are finished
and work of saving them could begin
at once.

GREAT WARENljI;S;E:

Danville tobacco and real

says that zone of the largest, if
not the largest business deal put

Mr.. Baughman is we'll known in

INSTALLING FAMOUS
WINCHESTER SYSTEM
Richmond Welch Co. Rapidly
Preparing Home Here For
Formal Opening Soon

Everyone is watching with in
tense interest the splendid pro-
gress that is being made on the
home of the Richmond Welch Co.
on West Main street. The hand
some big show windows are about
completed, the heating plant is
now in working order and things
are shaping up rapidly. With
construction work under way and
everyone busy getting things
Strengthened, customers climbed
over barricades in front, and
weaved their way through work
men, and insisted upon buying
something like $4,000 worth OF
the first merchandise that was
brought in during January.
Work is being pushed as fast
as possible SO that the formal
opening may not be delayed long
er than possible.
Window glasses are in place and
oak backs and panels are going in.
Glass show cases, electrically
lighted, are being uncrated and
put in position to receive goods.
Mr.. Frank Mappes, of New
Haven, Conn. who is store engin-
eer for the Winchester Repeating
Arms Co., with his party, are di-
recting placing of goods in cases
and sampling of hardware on
wood panels hinged to shelving
showing all goods carried in
shelves.
Mr.. Mappes is considered the
greatest store engineer in Ameri-
Ca for hardware. One of the first
stores that was designed by Mr.
Mappes was the Frank P. Hall at
Columbus His next creation. the
Pettee Hardware Store at Okla
homa City, Okla, attracted so
much attention that a thousand
hardware dealers visited it the
first year.
Mr.. Mappes designed and spent
four years with the Huey and
Phelps. of Dallas, Texas. These
are referred to by all hardware
authorities as the greatest retail
hardware stores in the United
States in point of design, simplici-
ty and ease of serving people
with goods they want.
With Mr., Mappes are Mr., L. H.
Hudson, his first assistant, and
Mr.. Shamper, designer. The
Richmond Welch Company is
considered fortunate in getting
the services of these men and be-
lieve that they will serve their
customers to a better advantage
as a result of the up-to-date sys-
tenn and modern lines that are be-
ing installed by them.

Remarkable Story of the
Welch Department Stores

A brief history and synopsis of
the wonderful success of the
Welch Department Stores at Be
rea, was given in the Inland
,Storekeeper. a trade journal. in
she recent December issue. The
facts were compiled and furnish
ed that paper by Mr.. Green Clay,
of this city. What he says of the
Welch Department Stores will be
read with particular interest here
at this tine. as the opening OF the
Richmond WEIGH Company be-
comes imminent. The article was
as follows:
No doubt about it, the biggest coun-
try store in Kentucky is located in
Berea, a little mountain hamlet of
1900 people nestled in the spare and
;ungainly foothills of the Cumberland
mountains in the extreme southern
end of Madison county on the edge of
the Blue Grass Region. Last year
the Welch Department Stores did a
business of s5O9,000. This year they
bid fair to reach over 100000.
Berea is the home of the far famed
Berea College, an educational institu-
tion for poor boys and girls, that has
now an attendance of 100 pupils. II
might be assumed that the college it.
self is a great feeder to the Welcf
Stores, but this is not true. The stu
dents are for the most part poor boys
and girls, many of whom work theil
way through school by employment il
the several Industrial departments OF
the college. Besides, the college ha!
its own general store and sells to the
stalents at cost and carriage. Thi:
eliminates from local merchants mos
of this potential patronage, so tha
local merchants must depend entire
ly upon the sparsely settled territor!
outside the town for its purchasers.
The Welch Stores consist of twent!
departments, employing forty-eigh
clerks. They sell literally everythin,
that can be purchased in ordinary re
tail stores in the largest cities; grocer
les, hardware, clothing, drugs, auto
mobiles, machinery and all the res
of it.

TAX ON WHISKY
MAY BUILD ROADS
Bill In Legislature Seeks to Raise
$15,000,000 For State High
way System

Frankfort, KY, Feb. Chased OF
ernment may take over all whiskey ]
Wood Vance, Of Barren county, today
introduced bill in the House to levy
tax of SOC a gallon on all whisky
in Kentucky warehouses. The amount
produced will be S15,000,000 and be
used to build highways.
Concluding that Kentucky could moi
afford to pay bounty of 500 to hel
sons and daughters who served in the
world war the House refused to ad-
vance to its first reading the bill OF
Representative John T. Murphy O1
Covington.
1t is estimated that Kentucky fur
nished $4,000 soldiers during the war
and that the bill would have cost the
state about $6,000,000. Representative
Murphy said that other states had is
sued like compensation, and that Ken
lucky should not lag behind in this
regard. His appeal availed little when
Representatives A. R. Hudson and
Mack Morgan, both former service
men, said that the majority of dis
charged soldiers were opposed to the
bill, on the ground that it would place
a heavy burden on the state.
Representative Isaac S. Mason de
clared that he had two sons, in the
war, and that neither of them would
accept a penny from the state.
