SEvERNS SHOE SALE
ATTRACTS BUYERS
Mt. Vernon Having Unusual
Experience In A Sale
Have To Lock Doors

That the attention of the local buy
ing public has been caught strongly
by the attractive bargains being Of
fered at the sale of the Severns' bank
rupt shoe stock has been demonstrate
ed by the number of those visiting
the Severns' store on West Vine
street all day today. Frequently the
capacity of the room has been so over
taxed that the would-be buyers have
got in each others way and in the
way of the clerks.
Sales Manager II. B. Gordon, in
charge of this sale, has expressed to
The Banner his pleased surprise at
the number, both of buyers and of
visitors, coming to the store. Veter-
an salesman that he is and knowing
the quality of the stock he naturally
calculated upon having satisfactory
sale. But after witnessing what has
transpired since the stores doors first
were opened in this sale he has ad-
mitted that 1t has quite exceeded his
most sanguine calculations.
II is seldom that Mt. Vernon has a
sale that attracts the buyers in such
numbers that 1t becomes necessary
to close and lock the doors until the
pressure may be relieved. Still that
has happened not once but several
times already since the sale started
this morning and promises to be re-.
peated again.
Manager Gordon sought to antici-
pate the demands of the public by EN-.
ploying what he believed to be an
adequate sales force. But even with
this precaution and with the clerks
waiting upon several customers at q
time 1t has been impossible to avoid
making some folks wait until their
turn could come.
Many visitors who came only to
look and to examine remained to buy
and to carry away their purchases.
The contagiOn OF the swarming
SAO"uo "do hiSoIotlUle. AS IdSl US
customers departed with their pur-
chases their places were taken by
others seeking bargains in footwear.
Manager Gordon has announced
that the sale is to continue until the
stock is disposed of. Each day of the
sale fresh bargains are to be added
to the shelves. The Severns' stock
has been found to be so large and 80
varied that 1t manifestly has been out
OF the question to place 1t all on the
shelves at one time and leave II to
the public to make its pick and
choice. 1t may then not be out of the
way to suggest the advisability of a
series of visits from day to day or
time to time until the needs of ones
family are quite supplied.
The reputation of the Severns' store
In the past, the quality of the stock
handled, the knowledge and convic.
ton the opportunity Is being afforded
to buy good. high grade footwear at
nnheard OF prices certainly have been
having an effect in bringing out the
buyers 10 this sale. x16

Smoking was practiced by the most
primitive peoples. Tobacco, opium,
and hemp were the herbs most used.
The invention of the pipe, while OBJ
scure as to time, comes from the fire.
Quent use of herbs burnt In containers
as sacrifice or for healing purposes.
The person to be cured inhaled the
smoke. A portable cOntainer with a
tube for the smoke was a logical de-
velOpment of this practice.
