His Clothes Are Shiny. Though Herr Stinnes owns the Hotel Esplanade, Berlin’s most fashionable hostelry, and lives there, his clothes are sainy and threadbare, his neckties un- tidy and his face at times unshaven. Altogether he looks as though he had less money than the youngest of his em- pioyes in the hotel. Stinnes works eighteen hours daily and takes hardly any time off for meals. He never goes to the theater, but works until 2 o'clock in_the morning. The simplicity with which his fam- ily home in Muhlheim, on the Ruhr, is furnished has become proverbial.

Special Souvenir Favors to Ladies and Gen- tlemen on Opening Day. HERE in the very heart of Washington “Jimmie’s” makes its inaugural bow to the Capital City. The pur- Dpose of our 'business will be to shine shoes. We are going to shine shoes better than the men and women of this city ever thought was possible. Better liquids and pastes will be used, and better operators will be employed. Every Operator at “Jimmie’s” Has Been Trained Under the Personal Supervision of Tony, the Bootblack.* (*Tony, the Booiblack, has a reputation that is world-wide. Starting in New York with one shop, he gradually built a chain of DIFFERENT shoe shining parlors.. Today he is worth over a MILLION DOLLARS. He made his money because he took shoe shining as a serious business, and trained his men to give every customer the kind of shoe shine that brought them, and their friends, back again. Our shop was built under Tony’s directions; car operators were trained by him. We may not make a million dollars, but we are going to make THOUSANDS OF FRIENDS.) 'WE pause to foint to the mar- ¥ ble walls, to ‘the classic inte- riot, to the afir of luzury and refinement, it is with the pardona- ble pride of an ;institution which is first to recognize the importance of shining shoes. We built well and expensively.. We spent dollars instead of cents. We are proud of our establishment. We will be proud of the wark we do. We have set about to raise shoe shining to an_art. ‘While an artfstic environment is embraced at “Jimmie's,” it is and always will be subordinate to serv- ice itself. Our place will be famous for its appointments, but we will prosper on service, not scemery. Just a Word to Lady Customers ‘We know you are reluctant to go ([l into the average shoe shining par- lor.
