104 Walnut Street. This is one of the important institutions
of this character in this city and while it has only been opened to the
public for about two months, owing to the important array of beautiful and
useful household necessities and notions, a reputation of high standing
has been gained as well as a large patronage. The interior arrangement is
pleasing to the eye and restful to the senses, and exemplifies what enterprise
and original ideas can accomplish in the twentieth century. In brief this
store is a model of its kind and it would do credit to any city of ten times
this size. Any article in this store can be purchased for 5 or 10 cents,
in fact nothing is priced at a higher figure than 10 cents. A large per
cent of these articles when purchased at a department or racket store would
cost from 25 to 50 cents. It is owing to the large volume of business conducted
and the large quantities of goods purchased from the manufacturers, taking
advantage of all discounts, etc., which places this firm in a position to
quote these prices and still make a small margin of profit. Five courteous
assistants are employed and your patronage is respectfully solicited. It
is a pleasure to show goods or explain the merits of these useful and ornamental
articles. Mr. F. L. Golay and Mr. L. H. Robinson are the enterprising and
painstaking proprietors of this establishment. They are both young men of
a pleasing personality. They were both born and raised in this state, and
have had long years of experience in various mercantile pursuits. They are
highly esteemed in this city in a widening circle as business men of integrity,
honorable dealings as well as rare ability. |
