Every Merchant Can
Dress Up His Store
All Should Get Ready For Those
Open House Days Next Week;
Its Purpose. ~

Last March when the Advertising
Forum of the Civic and Commerce
association sponsored the open
House" days it was clearly demon
strated that the size Of a store or
the nature of its business was of no
hindrance to attractive displays. The
butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker had just as attractive
showings as did the large department
stores, and many Of the displays of
these smaller stores are still fresh
in the minds Of the public.
There are comparatively few pro-
fessional display men in Mankato,
many of the windows being decorat-
ed by proprietors and clerks, yet the
results obtained are very creditable.
1t Is not an, uncommon sight on
open House" days to see whole
families window shopping from store
to store, and many remark that the
city's display windows compare fav-
orably with those of the larger met
ropolitan cities.
The committee from the Advertis-
ing Forum, which is in charge of
open House" Friday and Saturday,
October 6 and z will make a thor
ough canvass Of the city calling on
every place of business both big and
small, including offices as well.
Cards will be distributed calling at
tenton to open House" which will
be consciously displayed by all
firms operating.

STILL HAS DRUM
THAT SAW FIGHT
Fred Dietman Carries the Musi.
cal Instrument From Civil
War Times

Still in possession of the little
red drum which he carried over a
half century ago through the
breaches of the Rebel lines with
the Union army in the Civil war in
twenty three battles, Fred Dietz-
man, the Drummer Boy of Vicks-
burg" now residing at Oakland
Calf, stopped off here last night on
his way to Redwood Falls, his for
mer home. ri l.o1Is
It was with a great deal of just
pride that the drummer boy of
years ago, exhibited the drum,
which he had just carried to the
national encampment of the G. A.
r. at Des Moines. In a statement
to The Free Press the old veteran
stated that he enlisted together
with his father in the Seventeenth
Missouri when he was fifteen, years
of age.
Tears welled up in the old drum
mers eyes when he referred to a
meeting between he and General
Grant at Raymond. Mississippi.
Ddetzman and his father both en-
listed together in the army, and his
father in one: Of the battles just

General ) Grant found the young
drummer boy sitting along side OF
his father. He asked the boy who
the wounded man was, and when
he was told by Dietzman that ii
was his father he said: "Stay with
your father lad, he needs YOU
From that time on the little drum
mer boy had the fondest regard
for the commander in chief, for
his father recovered and lived many
years afterwad.
1t was a long interesting story
the drummer related to the scribe
of how when captured by the Rebels
he managed to conceal his little
drum, until he made his escape.
II have played the long roll" on

Young boy that I was then l saw

it, when l go over the divide" said
the old man In conclusion.

DOLL UP IS THAT
OPEN HOUSE IDEA
All Offices As Well As Stores
Expected To Look Clean
- and Neat

The committee Of the Advertis.
ing Forum of the Civic and Com
.meree association met this morning
and decided to broaden the scope of
open House" so as 10 include all
Offices as we'll as retail stores.
Every place of business in the
city whether it be an office on
the second floor or the big mercan
tile establishment on the ground
floor should take equal pride in the
appearance Of its home during show
days.
Cards announcing open House
will be distributed by members OF
this committee which should be pro.
minently displayed in windows and
Offices.
Cleanliness is the first order of
the day given out for open House."
Institutions which have participated
in similar events in the past are
quick to see the benefits of neat
displays and interiors and willingly
CO. operate in making this event
bigger and better success than ever
A window display where the mer-
chandise is arranged in or DERBY
manner, the glass polished so that
it takes a second glance to deter
mine whether or not there is
glass in evidence, and the floor and
background shined up are the first
rules of correct display and all can
be accomplished with a very little
work or expense.
Merchants in Mankato are taking
keen interest in these window shows
and each season the public has
been taught to look forward to them
with no less anxiety. So thorough
are the store keepers in tn sir clean
up that not in inch of store frontage
on Front street or other business
streets escapes their critical eyes;
Store interiors will also be placed
in order on Open House" days and
proprietors will be on hand to ex-
tend the welcome hand and be lat
home" to friends and patrons.

horse, that could not be rescued,
was destroyed. The total loss was
approximately $1,000, covered by in

There was one of the most threat

long time. Had the wind been more
easterly the loss of property would
have probably been greater. The

credit for the manner in which IT
handled the blaze.
The fire was first discovered when
burning hay was seen to drop from

a bunch of horses in the place, at
