Indianapolis There are twenty-two cities in America larger than Indianapolis, but ten of them do not sell as much merchandise at retail. In many ways Indianapolis is the most desirable city in America, most fortunately located, the center of population, the center of manufacturing in America, unequaled transportation, remarkable in the variety of industries. We have af least one store that is different from any stores in other cities. The other large cities have mail order houses, but none of them have established and maintained a store for the accommodation of their home people. The Hurst store at Penna. and Ga. streets is in many ways ditforent from any other store in Indianapolis or iu any other large city. It is owned and operated by the same management that, owns and operates Indiana’s Mail Order House, which is rapidly growing into one of the biggest industries iu this eitv and is already shipping merchandise to almost every state in the Union. Hurst & Company have recently remodeled the upper floors of their big building at Penna. and Ga. streets and have added hundreds of feet more of shelving, show cases and counters. The dry goods department, located on third floor, had outgrown its space, so the electrical department and the gents’ furnishings department have been removed to the newly remodeled fourth floor, thus giving needed room for the dry goods department to still further expand on the third floor. Many people in this city and vicinity perhaps do not vet know that within the last year we have established one of the largest and most complete shoe departments in this city, where every member of the family can be supplied with just as good high grade shoes as can be bought anywhere else, and at a considerably less price. Our old customers know they are always welcome and need no second invitation. All who have never visited us are hereby cordially invited to do so at once. The high quality of our merchandise and the big saving in price is sure to please you. We have other complete departments of hardware, paint, furniture, auto accessories, groceries, garden tools, implements, harness, etc. You do not have tp watch for special sales at the Hurst Store. Our regular every day prices are considerably less than you will find elsewhere on the same quality of merchandise in any of our many departments. We repeat that all who have never traded with us are cordially invited to visit us and learn for themselves if this is not the best place in the city for them to trade, and all our old customers already know that they are thrice welcome, but we especially invite you in tbe last t wo days of this week to see if you do not think we have greatly improved, not only the looks of our store, but that we have also made it more pleasant and convenient for you to shop. No member of the family should huv their Easter shoes until yon have visited our big shoe department and learned of the Hurst quality and the Hurst prices on all kinds of footwear. Resolve now to visit this big department store tomorrow. The only big department store in this city owned and operated by a mail order house for the convenience of its home customers. You will be surprised and pleased how easy it is to shop in this big store and also at t!ie big saving in price. Cordially yours, Hurst & Cos.
