Goodwin S Dept .StoreC Celebrates
Initial Opening And Fashion
Display For Milady
OTHER STORES TO ANNOUNCE
THEIR OPENING DATES SOON

No lady in This county need 60
elsewhere than to Pocomoke City to
buy what she needs in any line; and
all the ladies on the Shore will profit
by coming to Pocomoke City to do
their shopping.
This is not putting it too strongly,
for if one should take the trouble to
look, one will have no hesitancy in
saying that stores here can furnish
top-clothing in any and all styles; un-
derwear to suit the most fastidious;
laces, shoes, hats, and all sorts Of no
tions to please any and all tastes.
Goodwin, our recent entrant into
the mercantile life Of Pocomoke City,
threw open his beautiful store last
Thursday; Miss r. Belle Wilson dis
played a choice selection Of hats and
bonnets; Miss Maude Dean Stark
opened a fashionable Millinery store;
and Hargis, tho not formally invit-
ing an inspection Of his mammoth
emporium, shows just what one can
expect when he sends out the word.
These business places certainly be-
speak a wonderful confidence in the
volume of trade expected, and there
is no reason to believe otherwise than,
when the season gets fully into swing,
and people begin to realize the shop
ing advantages Of this town, there
will be nothing left for them to do but
to come where they can get the best
end at prices as reasonable as the
state of trade will allow.
Godwin's store is a gem in point Of
architectural beauty, and lastly deco
ration. 1t is treat to visit it. 1t is
really an outing to spend an hour
within it's doors. You receive cor
dial Eastern Shore greeting, you will
er joy all the home comforts if you
want to rest, and courteous treatment
whether you buy or not. It will re-
pay one to inspect it, and it will be
hard for you to go out without buy
ing.
Hargis' place is a wonder, and those
who see it are all unit in declaring
it a real metropolitan product. The
writer heard two Baltimore statesmen
ssy it would be credit to any shop
ping district in their city. This is a
universal opinion. There is no place
on this shore that can approach it in
its completeness. There is on sale
there, all a woman wants, and lots
that men can buy. There are expert
enced and courteous salespeople.
There are all the arrangements neces-
sary for comfortable day Of shop
ping. and one can spend the whole
day there-eat and sleep if necessary
and secure all one wants in the way
of ladies' wear, furniture, carpets and
all other floor coverings, musical ap-
raratus, boys and misses wear, china
and glass ware, and other commodi:
ties. It is the truth Of Department
store, and if you don't believe it, go
and see for yourself.
Miss R. Belle Wilson is so well
known in her line of work as to need
no write-up. She has been selling
hats and bonnets for years to trade
that thinks no one can suit their taste
except Miss Belle. Her patrons know
where tcs>fnd her and will seek her
out.
She IS her usual fine stock Of
millinery; she has an experienced
trimmer, who, along with Miss Bellies
proven exquisite taste, will turn out
a bonnet that will suit you to turn.
She's waiting for. you.
Miss Stark is a new adventurer in
the fields of millinery work in POGO
noke. She has fitted up the old
Knights of Pythias hall, so you
wouldn't know it. She has stocked it
with all the latest styles of ladies'
head gear, and with her wide expert
ence, and her evident personal taste
she should be able to please the most
particular.
These enterprises are only a part
of the business life OF Pocomoke.
