UNITED RUG co. HAS
THREE CITY STORES
Business Founded in 1924
Has Increased at
Speedy Rate.

Specializing solely in rugs and
linoleums, the United and Economy
Rug company, with its three stores,
two located on East Washington
street and the other on West Wash
lngton street, has had a phenom-
email growth.
Founded in 1924 by David Lipp
and Herman Chalfie, the business
started with one small storeroom
at 425 East Washington street. The
rapidly increasing volume Of bust
ness necessitated the opening of a
second store in January, 1925, at
213 East Washington street.
Business continued to grow and
third store was opened in April,
1928, at BOT West Washington street.
The sales volume has increased
to more than seven times the orig
inal business.
While the original stock consisted
Of only a few rolls Of linoleum and
small number Of rugs, the firm
now carries complete line of ma
tionally advertised products.
The company has specialized in
QUILTING new homes and apart
ments with floor coverings and its
policy of fair dealing, together with
sound advice to prospective pur-
chasers, has served to build the
company firm in the public opinion.
The faith OF the company in the
future growth and prosperity Of
West Washington street as a popu-
lar shopping center caused the part
ners to open their latest store in
this location.

KAHN HAS Seen
Great GROWTH
ON West Wash.
Fewer Floating Merchants
Than Any Other Place in
Country, He Says.

When horSe-draWn cars runbled
over the cobbles of West Washing
ton street, Nathan A. Kahn was
operating the National Furniture
Company at the same location, 1886
West Washington street.
That was twenty-nine years ago
and that active business section
then was but a district of small
stores, the growth of which has
eliminated in the addition of the
beautiful Office building of the Old
Trails Automobile Insurance Asso-
citation, which will be opened to
inspection Thursday.
All merchants in the West Wash
ington street section are cooper
ating to the fullest extent in MAX
ing memorable the three-day cele-
bration, beginning tomorrow.
A peculiar feature of the West
Washington street business section,
according to Kahn, is that there
has been little change in the per-
sonnet of the business men who
have established firms in that
section.
I'VE have had fewer floating mer-
chants and more settlers than any
other similar business section in
any city in the country" he de-
clared.
when 1 established my business
here twenty-nine years ago I occu-
pied one floor, the street floor Of
this building. Today the National
Furniture Company occupies all
four floors.
II saw West Washington street
develop from just small business
section on the outskirts to an inte-
grail and important cog in the bust
ness life of the city.
1.-THE business done by this firm
has grown so that it has been
necessary to take my son, Harry A.
Kahn, into the store as vice-presi-
dent and treasurer" the veteran
business man said.

DREW REACHES BELGIUM
FOR L0EWENS1ElN QUERY
Relative of Financier SAYS Any
Landing Would Have Been
Recorded by Barographs

Brussels, Belgium, July UPl-
Ronald Drew, pilot of the Fokker
airplane from which the Belgian
tlnancier Captain Alfred Loewan-
stein was reported to have disap-
peared, arrived today TO be a witness
at the official inquiry into the tinan-
cier's sudden disappearance.
Drew and Mechanic Little, who
also was in the plane on the trans
channel trips, arrived here from
London last night Both viii be
called in the official inquiry.
Meanwhile Count Nanderstra eten
Ponthony, a relative Of Loewenstcin,
said there was no question but W hat
a landing of the plane would have
been recorded.
There il doubt but that the
nl'n"'H haroeraph was sealed as US
tai when going abroad, hence all
landings would have been recorded, -
the count said.
Members of LoeNenstein's family
today issued an official statement in
which they said there was no doubt
but that LoeW ensteln was dead, that
his emD- -af'-> had been witnessed
at p. M, and tn, his disappear
ance was at p. m. Death was at
tributed to an accident. This state
ment was necessary as part of the
Brussels court procedure.

FAMILY DOESN'T THINK
THAT DEATH WAS A HOAX
RumOrs Persist. However. That
IOcMcnstcin Did Not Fan
From Plane.

Brussels, July 9 P}-Although ru-
mors persist that Captain Alfred
LoeNtnstein did not meet death in
a fall from lis plane. his family be
lieve that he is not perpetrating any
hoax,
The family issued a statement say
ing that unfortunately there Was no
doubt that he was dead All evi-
Gence, it WAS asserted, proved he
had entered his plane at Croydon
and WAS not in it when il landed
and also showed that his death was
due to an accident
Nevertheless this belief is likely to
have little legal weight and the
settlement of his estate probably will
boone a tangled affair because of
the vast interests involved and the
manner of his disappearance. II the
body remains undiscovered it is
thought that it might be as long as
80 years before the whole question
of Inheritance can be settled
The family therefore has summon
ed all those who were in the plane
to come TO Brussels and give dcpo-
sitions in an effort to establish legal
evidence of death.
