With hardly an exception, proprie- tors of stores stated today that they had the largest volume of business Wednesday tnatthey have experienced for somé time. The ‘huge crowd that n the city to'welcome the presi- dent and witness the aerial exhibi- tions and the other attractions pro- vided for their amusements did a great portion of their fall and winter shop- | ping while in the city. All of the banks today stated. that Thursday was the busiest day they had experienced in some time. “For the day in the middle of the month, when deposits are not large, Thursday was a record breaker,” said one bank- ing official this morning. “Practical- ly all of the money deposited by our customers was cash, with very little checks, showing conclusively that the money was left here by visitors at: tending the Wilson day celebration.” Comments from a few of the many business houses in the city on Wed- nesday’s business follow: Ss. rgeson & Son—Best busi- ness we have ever done in the history of our institution. With the addition of four extra people to handle our customers we could not begin to take care of their wants, It was marvelous. A. W. Lucas Company—The way the women from out of town bought es for the coming season was sur- sing. During the time we were open store was crowded with women our buying all kinds of merchandise. Lomas Hardware! Company—Altho we were closed from 10:30 in the morning until four in the afternoon so as to give our employes a chance to take part in the celebration, we were kept jumping sideways taking care of customers. The Chocolate Shop—It was the biggest day we have had since we opened this place. It was impossible to supply the demand for ice cream, soda, soft drinks, sandwiches and other foods. For three hours steady, we were kept busy making sand- wiches. Wellworth Store—Business was very good indeed, It has been one of our biggest crowds. This ought to make Bismarck realize that it can take care of big things as well as the smaller ones. I am for a celebra- tion of this. kind at least once a month, French & Welch Hardware Com- pany—We were closed from ten to three but during the time we were open we did an immense business. Ordinarily we would consider the sale of one shot gun a day at this time of the year pretty good business, but on Wilson day we sold not less than five. It was a day of big business Wébb Brothers—Women crowded out store all day long buying their fall and winter clothing. Never before have I seen such an eager crowd, everybody wanting to buy something. And one of the strange things about the business was that everybody seem- ed to want to buy the better grade of merchandise. Logans Grocery—Our business was not so greatly benefitted by the out of town crowd, but our sales were exceptionally heavy for a middle of the week day. It seemed as if all the farmers surrounding Bismarck did their usual Saturday buying on Wed- nesday. The wholesale houses furnishing | foodstuffs were busy all day today filling depleted stocks of local mer- chants as a result of the Wilson day business. Restaurants were particu- larly rushed and they served a steady stream of customers from ‘before noon until long after three o’clock with the result that some of them exhausted |, their kitchens before evening. Some of \the drug stores were out of ice cream yesterday as a result of the inroads of the crowds the day before. The hotels were overcrowded and, were forced to turn away many, but fortunately private homes gladly opened the doors to the city’s visi- tors and sleeping accommodations were provided for all. “ PRESS IN PRAISE OF MARCUS SHOW “Oh Baby” Declared Best of Eight Year Series by News- paper Critics Ig Abraham Lincoln had _ been a showman he would probably have said, “You can please some of the critics all of the time and you can please; all of the critics some of the time but can’t please all of the critics all of the time.” And Honest Ahe would have been right—that {s to empha- size he WOULD have been right—for there is a show that has at last pleased all the penmen all of the time. This attraction is no other than the famous Marcus ‘Show which comes to the Auditorium tonight. The same edition of “Oh Baby” which will be offered here with the same company and production last season played over one hundred cities from \New York to Key West and as far west as Pittsburgh. Not one of the reviewers who mentioned: the show but praised it. The following from the New York American is typical: J There is something new under the sun. It is the class of entertainment and éntertainment of class offered by the Marcus Revue. Once ever so often New York is gladdened by the advent of an original idea in amuse- ments, When it does happen it does not take metropolitan theatregoers long to eet down a path to its door. This has been the case for the past several weeks. Not since the days of Weber &‘Fields, a decade and more ago, thas it been so hard to obtain even breathing room in a New York playhouse. A. B..
