CAFE MAY'S MOST BEAUTIFUL STORE OPENS TO-DAY, SATURDAY Tke Kaerr Dry Goods Emporium Ids beet Remodeled aid stacked ap-te-Date i The Daylight 8 tore, Noa. 618 and 520 Washington street, opens today (Saturday) and will be under the mani agement of Mr. John T. Hewitt, who ■ haa been in that position tor some ■ time past, and thoroughly understands the requirements of the Cape May 1 trade. The Knerr stores have been : known for the excellent quality of their goods and fair dealing* since 1686. The name Knerr on men's furnishings means beat quailty at a fair price. The millinery department of this establishment is very widely known, and some of its beat.patrons reside in the [ large cities and send their orders to ' Oape May, for they realize the impor- | tacce of Knerr Quality. This depart- . meat is under the direction of Mrs. Knerr, and it baa atways been ber am- * bition to secure the moat talented mil9 liners, and judging from this branch of the business, it must be belived that , Mrs. Knerr meets with the greatest 3 success. [ The remodeling of this store will . have a grand effect on other wide-a- : wake merchants who will probably folf low thia lead next fall. The counters, g show cases, etc. , were • built to order t by a well known manufacturing comj pany, and the lighting fixture were e selected with the greatest care. A e vapor heating plant has been installed j, and hard wood floors are laid throughy out the building. On the second floor there are six . modern offices, one suite, of which will be occupied by J. Spicer Learning, 1 E«q. , and the balance will be leased. y The site on which the Knerr stores •. now stand has had a historic career. e The Catholic Church was located here until 1868 when it was moved h across the street to its present location. The vacant lot was deeded 1869 e by the Church of Our Lady, Star of e the Sea, to Dennis Oonsidine of Pbilag delphia, who sold the same to William h Essen, 1876. Mr. Esseu died March u sseu, io(o- -nr. kb sou uieu iuarcn

4, 1900, and the widow, Mrs. Caroline £ E°sen and others transferred the property to William G. Essen, 1901, who ' sold it to Mrs. O. L. W. Kneerin 1902. ' lu 1869 there was a store on the site 8 now occupied by the Ware hardware '' store, and was occupied as a toy store by Paul Boyton, and in the fall of '69 ' fire broke out near that building, and ' destroyed all the property on the east side of Washington street to Jackson and part way down Jackson street to 1 Beach. Mr. Oonsidine occupied this site as a ' saloon ; Mr. Benezet, a pool room ; . Judge Hughes for a postoffice ; Miss ' Wales, as a millinery store; Miss War- . rington, a toy store. , 1 TO BREAK IN NEW SHOES ALWAYS USE , Allen's Foot-Ease, a powder.

ThiB waterway has no excuse for being unless as an advantage to the resorts ' along the sounds and it shoo Id be made ^ to serve their interests to the fullest 1 extent. Eligible channels can be produced much closer to the Avalon beach ' and we hope it will be done. I EASTER HOUSE PARTY , An Easter House party was given at the houae of Mrs. P. F.

Still another new house it being finished by Contractors Cummings and ' Son for Thomas Hemingway on Pearl > street. Two of yonr worthy citizens have

over looking up building sites for early building. If a live contractor start a building operation and offer them for sale on the liberal long time terms Mr. Mooney is offering h's new beach cottages, they would not remain long untaken we venture again the challenge that there is no more attractive and desirable town of its size on many accounts— materially, morally and socially, "with its splendid and its public and private improvements, and for the influence of its homes and kind neighborly feeling together with its excellent schools and generous public spirit, to be found in South Jercey. what we lack now is own public utilities of water and light plants, and must soon have, before some foreign or individual capital shall foist upon us a monopoly, that shal compel us to as we are and you now doing Hundreds of strangers passing down through our grand state highway daily, during the season into city have come to regard it las an idea town. And now. as tbey shall approach and pass through our brilliantly illuminated, beautiful Arch of Welcome, it will be with still greater feelings of appreciation. In return, to preserve this good opinion and increase it, and profit by it. our people should cherish a just pride and aggressive spirit Every man should be proud of his own town if there is anything particularly worthy of it And we should never fail to remind our friends both at home and away from home that we five in a beautiful town of 1000 upright and thrifty population, a place of real homes without a saloon, speakeasy, or gambler's den or ar.y attempt whatever ever having been made _ to start one of these That's the kind of people we are. if we have lo do a boasting on our own account are not going to weaken the fore® of the foregoing by a little mock modesty. We believe every word we write —that our town for the great number of splendid homes, of good people and distinguished as (key are for intelligence, sobriety, integrity and low taxes, for the improvements economically made, is the peer of any in the state. But to continue, wbatia always" mora in demand than exists, is more united effort to forward the interests of the Of coarse a good many of as little or no money to spend in special improvements, bat we can all pall together and use oar influence in talking up the town, telling everywhere what its comforts and prospects Do you know that often mora an hart and hindered hy their own people than by all other things pat together. Sock an constantly Uliing their own town down, whan they should bo tabling it on And. Mr. yea know, end for yean. too. that that to what has boon said of Cape May people.
