STAR, WASHINGTON, D. (.. MAY 2, 1926—PART 1. THE SUNDAY W—— . f \ ‘ : IFTY vears ago, whén Washington was “A City of Magnificent Dis- - . tances’ —and little else—a few far-sighted men visualized it as the Great Metropolis it was to be. They mentally pictured the day that would come when Washington would take rank as one of the great cities of the world. One of these far-visioned men was the late William Hahn. In 1876 he established his first store. It wasn't a pretentious store, but it housed the dreams of its founder. And it grew. And then Washington grew. And its new population lived in sections far from that first little store. These neighborhoods called for new Hahn stores. And this growth was possible only—because William Hahn's original principles of Reliability and Square Dealing—were alwavs maintained. And they dug deep into the Confidence of the people. Now we have reached our Fiftieth Anniversary. And because the seeds which William Hahn planted "way back in 1876 have blos somed and flowered into the present great Hahn business—we feel that a real celebration is in order. So we've started two weeks of the most important events in the Shoe History of Washington! OQur first store 1922 Pa.
