Traub & Selig’s Opening Draws Big Crowd.

The opening of the new Traub & Selig gent’s furnishing store in the Odd Fellows building Saturday drew a big crowd, and the large supply of souvenirs, which they had provided for the occasion, was exhausted during the afternoon and evening. They had almost 500 carnations for the ladies, besides the souvenirs for the men, but these .were all given away before the evening crowd came. Mrs. Ray Wood at the piano and her daughter, Miss Ruth, on the violin, furnished entertaining music for the opening. The new store was a revelation to the hundreds of people who visited it, and exclamations of delight werp heard on all sides. The splendid new fixtures and show cases of the latest design and the neat and attractive manner in which the stock was displayed evoked a great deal of praise, and everyone remarked that it was the finest store ever in Rensselaer and would be a credit to cities many times larger than this. Messrs. Traub & Selig are hustlers and very courteous and obliging gentlemen to meet. That their new store will be a merited success from the start is assured.
