TRAUB & SELIG HELD OPENING

New Clothing Firm Entertained Large Crowds All Day Saturday—Music and Souvenirs. Traub & Selig, the new clothing, furnishing and hat firm, held their opening last Saturday and entertained large crowds throughout the day and evening with music furnished by Mrs. Ray Wood and daughter, Ruth, the former on the piano and Ruth on the violin. They also sang several songs. Souvenirs were also given the men, each receiving a wall match holder of nice design. The ladies were each given carnations until the supply was exhausted. They had not figured on so many lady callers and did not provide for all that came. All who entered the store were greatly pleased with its appearance and with the attitude of the proprietors who showed them about the store. The Traub & Selig store is splendidly furnished with the latest clothing cabinets and hangers, while the all plat glass showcases are very handsome and help to make one of the finest furnished stores in this part qf Indiana. The woodwork is all mahogany finished and the arrangement in all respects makes a very handsome store. large Mazda electric globes light the store perfectly. The proprietors were somewhat handicapped because % large amount of their new fall stock had not arrived. Messrs. Traub & Selig are progressive businessmen and have engaged a liberal amount of space in The Republican and will thus come into frequent Contact with the buyers in who will doubtless find it profitable to give them a liberal share of their patronage.

In a card to The Republican received today from Jesse D..Allman, written at their new home, Ashland, Oregon, he says: “We are getting settled in our ranch home. The weather is ideal here so far. We have fine neighbors. Regards to all. We certainly do enjoy The Republican.” Mrs. Horatio Ropp left Sunday morning for Covert, Mich., having received word that her son, George Ropp, Was sick with fever. She will probably remain there to assist in caring for him.
