DRAFT HORSES
STARRED At
HORSE SHOW
ESPECIAL TO THE rryEsl

-
NEW York, Nov. is. - Horses
USED In business are attracting an
unusual amount of interest at the
National Horse shows this.year. ac-
cordlng to the opinion Of horse ex-
perts In different parts of the
country.
THE year 1922 Is e record year
for the entries of draft horses in
the National Horse Show. held in
New York City during the week Of
November 18th to 18Th" according
to statement just issued by Wayne
Dinsmore. secretary of the Horse
Association of America "As a re-
suit OF the increase in classes for
this typo OF horse. there were six
different draft horse classes in the
New York show" Mr.. Dinsmore said.
In one class alone there were
twenty-five entrieA Now FORKS

IT is Of interest TO mote that these
draft horses are the means by which
we get many of the necessities of
life in towns and cities Ice, milk.

age were among the businesses rep
resented by owners OF these horses.
An effort Is being made by owners
OF commercial horses to renew the
old-time practice Of q draft horse
parade in New York city. From the
interest shown IN tbs proposed plan
It Is possible that such a parade
will be held In tho spring or 1898.
One has not been held since before

Mr.. Dlnsmore said that the In
crease in these special classes OF
horses are Indicative OF the fact
that horses are a more important
factor in business this year than
they have been for years past.

The Story of the
EdzUuru G.. Mi71uS CO11ba71y
VINO KNOWS

Among the treasurered possessions of the
Edward c. Minas Co.. several old photo
graphs. They are interesting because they de-
pict in forceful manner the wonderful growth
of this great department store.
One. which is faded and dim, shows the or
iginal store of Edward G. Minas at State ST.,
and Oakley sue., just as he started business in
1890 in .he little one-story building with his
scanty stock of hardware.
The second is an interior view of the
store which he opened in the new building five
years later.
What contrastl
Compared with his first store It was ire
mendous step forward. It was considered tho
last word in hardware stores.
Compared with his present store the diff
ference provokes mirth. The photograph was
taken before Mr.. Minas had reached the decision
to establish his furniture department. He then
had the most complete hardware store in North
ern Indiana.
But. although the store then had acquired
reputation for the service which it rendered,
its equipment was typical of its day.
Great oil hanging lamps. with fancy prism
glass decorations. occupied prominent positions,
Many of them were being sold then in Ham
mond The store had gas lighting plant of its
own but II was unreliable and the oil lamps were
always ready. You look in vain for many of
the modern articles now carried in hardware
stock.
Brush type carpet sweepers prominent
ly. Vacuum cleaners were unheard of. Gaso-
line cook stoves. hard coal heating stoves. feath
er busters. corn peppers, cistern pumps and ker-
osene cans bring back recollections of conditions
as they twenty-five years ago. The fact
that heating stoves, curry combs, grooming
brushes and sleigh bells occupy front places
leads to the surnise that the picture taken
In winter.
Another picture shows the store after the
second ffty-foot section had been erected It
was then real department store The furni-
ture department had been added and had met
with hearty reception before this addition was
built.
Conspicuous in this picture, which is
exterior view. is the trademark of the Edward
c. Minas Co.. which had been adopted by Mr.
Minas and which had become familiar to shop
pers within a wide radius of Hammond. It was
painted on the blank west wall of the building
where 1t was plainly visible from far west on
State street. It was picture of two clasped
hands. One was labeled "our store; the other
"the public. Above and below the hands
the stores slogan Confidence and Reliability.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1922-11-18

Since this series OF historical articles
was started several new cases have come to
light in which patrons of the Edward c.
Mnas Co., had been deceived by the sirnil-
arity of its name to that of the Minas Furni-
ture Co.
Mrs. A. visited the fnrrit,,-e de-
partment of the Edward c. Minas Co.. this
week and in conversation with the depart
ment manager stated that through these ar
ticles she had learned for the first time that
there was no connection between the two
stores.
This lady has been resident Of Ham
mond for a number of years but for some
reason it had never been brought to her at
tention before that the stores were two sep
arate institutions.
II have traded at both places for
years" she said and thought was dealing
with the Edward c. Minas Co.. all of the
time"

And as The public continued to give re- pa
tronage to the expanding store those words
gradually became linked with the name of the
Edward c. Minas Co. in the peoples minds.
That trade mark was painted over years
ago when new sign was put lip but the thought
It conveyed was not effaced. Today the firm
name suggests Confidence aad Reliability" ia

fore. the Edward c. Minas CO., Is not the only

The Minas Furniture Co.. conducted by the
Greenwald Brothers. but with which no member
of the Minas family is now connected, Is often
confused with the Edward c. Minas Co. Some
think It is the furniture section of the depart.

Business houses In other cities. with which
the Edward c. Minas Co.. has transactions must
often be reminded that the two stores are entire
ly separate.
Not long ago shipment Of furniture con-
signed to Edward c. Mnas Co., was delivered
to the department store and placed In the ware
rooms. Later in checking the invoices with the
orders it was found that the furniture was in
tended for the Greenwald store. It Is presur-
ed that shipping clerk at the wholesale house
made the mistake which many people of the
Calumet region have made In thinking that the
two stores were one and the same
Again let it be emphatically stated that
neither Edward c. Minas nor any member of the
Minas family is connected with the Minas Fur
niture Co.
