EL PASO HERALD Wednesday, Sept. 28, 1910. 9 OCI Critical Comparisons Favor Us Although we are handicapped by being able to display only a portion of our superb stock, we have easily proven the superiority of our millinery. Customers of discriminating taste, after having made critical comparisons, between our stock and others shown in El Paso, have invariably favored us when it came to buying. Prices Prove A Factor While our customers readily acknowledge superiority of our millinery, they just as quickly recognize that prices made here are in their favor.

Being wholesalers as well as retailers, prices we ask practically what other milliners pay. These price concessions apply to high grade millinery just the same as to that at a lower price level. Sale of Plumes The phenomenal values our Plume Sale offers should not be overlooked. Tt is a certainty that we 'will not again be to purchase plumes at as law prices as we did the present special lot, so customers should take advantage of sale now in effect. The New Store Work is being rushed on the new building.

Our initial display last evening created much favorable comment. However, we want to impress on the public that the initial showing last evening at the new store in no way did justice to what will be shown later on. We hope to be in the new building within the ten days. Jn the meantime, take advantage of our preliminary showing and low prices at our present location. EL PASOANS AWAY'.

Kli CORN ILL DREKK HE Crop Will Pass 3,000.000,000 Bushels for First Time, Worth $1,500,000,000. New York, N.

Sept. day that frost is delayed brings the king of our the 3,000.000,000 bushel bark; and the danger point so far as frost is concerned has already been passed in by far the major part of the tremendous area of our great corn belt. In other words, whatever damage may now be encountered will undoubtedly be local and comparatively slight; and it is not at this time, counting our chickens before they are hatched, to view briefly the benefits that may be expected of a corn harvest that for the first time in the history of our country tho bushel mark. Corn today is selling in Chicago at more than 50 cents per bushel, on which basis the value of the crop in dollars and cents is very close to almost unthinkable sum, exceeding the value of our wheat and cotton crops combined. This will give the vvost, particularly, a renewal of purchasing power, affecting not only its ability to take freely the products of our factories, but will at the same time mean a large traffic for the railroads and extend to ramifications far too numerous to attempt to mention in detail.

Corn today enters so largely into food for man and beast that the importance of a tremendous production can scarcely be overestimated. Its uses for human consumption are so rapidly multiplying that the transportation of prepared food products is each year gaining rapidly in importance as an item of railroad Corn, too, enters into the transportation problem in many indirect ways. As the real basis of cattlo and provisions it becomes a particularly large item of transportation, to say nothing of corn itself, wljich is one of the most bulky of railroad commodities. A satisfactory corn harvest at profitable prices, backed adequately by other favorable agricultural developments, provides an antiddle that must prove highly effective in counteracting developments of a less favorable character. of which there has recently been such an unusually large array.

Popular Is Crowded for Fall Opening. Proving the significance of its name, the Popular store was the style center of El Paso Tuesday evening at its annual fall opening. Not one department but the entire department store, the most complete in the southwest, was thrown open for inspection. For the first time many of the patrons of the Popular store were given an opportunity to Inspect the ready to wear, the millinery and infant departments which have been transferred to the second floor of the Popular building where they are displayed in a setting as perfect in its appointments as that to be found in the big Marshall Field store of Chicago, conceded to be the perfection of the art of trade display. The entire second floor, soft carpeted and finished in polished woods and mirrors, was filled with the fall and winter fashions in the tilings most attractive to women.

The new electric propelled elevator was not able to carry the crowds to the second floor of thb big department store, and the grand stairway was filled during the entire evening with a tnrong of style seeking El Paso women and their escorts. Attractively displayed in cases and on pedestals with long streamers of satin ribbon were the millinery departmem offerings in charge of attendants who obligingly fitted and suggested to the patrons of the Popular. To the right, of the elevator exit the infant department received its full share of attention, the little bonnets and dresses receiving their full share of the admiration. The center of attraction during the opening evening was the display of gowns and nats by living models. Lanes had been roped off with satin streamers and gold and enameled posts and along tlie soft carpeted lane, the models walked gracefully before the crowds which lined the display aisle to admii-e the gowns and millinery which were worn by the models.

So great were the crowds which formed around these aisles that it was almost Impossible to get from one department to another, although tnere was none of the vulgar pushing and crowding which frequently spoil such affairs. The newly added department of the Popular store was a fitting place for the holding of this society style show. The second floor has been transformed into a boudoir with twinkling lights studded in the ceiling, soft velvet carpet and French plate mirrors on every side. The formal opening of the big department store was not confined to t'ne second floor of the Popular building. Down stairs on the main floor the different departments were on dress parade.

Prizes had been offered for the best departmental display and the managers of the various sections had put their best efforts into their work of arranging their displays, Dress goods arranged on pedestals in the most delicate ol shades and tints with streamers ing from one pedestal to another; linens sbown in all their snowy whiteness, ribbons in a maze of variegated color, and each of t'ne other departments arranged with Crowded to the doors from the time of opening until after 10 oclock-, the Popular cared for the largest crowd which has ever attended an opening in El Paso. Estimated at 10.000 people, the streets leading to the big store were filled with the crowds going and coming from the annual opening. Souvenirs had been ordered for 6000, but this supply was exhausted early in the evening. The store was decorated in gold and silver grape clusters and vines, whicil blended with the bright colors of the different displays, making of the Popular a bower of beauty and fashion.
