This is the formal grand opening of the new store of Schwartz Bros, Inc..a company of which I have the privilege of being president, a company of which T have great pride in saying T have been the founder. I can. sa¥, without exag- eration, that our new store is the larg- est store of its kind in the, city of Nor- wich, and so far as I know, the largest and most modern store in the state of Connecticut. You have undoubtedly by this time seen the magnificence of the wonderful new store. Perhaps I should not say this, but, it feels g0od to say this, because it IS the fulfillment of a great ambition and desire of sixteen years' standing, and of sixteen years of hard work by my- selt, associates and fellow workers of the Schwartz Bros,‘organization. Let me tell you something of the history of” the Schwartz Bros. Company. Sixteen years ago I commeficed busi- mess in this city with my brother, Mi- chael Schwartz. The capital we comt menced with was a few hundred dollars. We made it our business at once to study the needs of the people of this section, and to give them the best service that we possibly could give. This was the be- ginning of the success of our organiza- tion. We have never deviated from this policy and we never will We do not by any means consider this store our store. This store is the people’s - store. It is mothing more or less than. added means whereby we can better serve the people of this city and nearby towns. We do not Ignore .any ideas, modern or old, but we follow modern methods when they are improvements over the-old. We have just moved from another building, which Was not by any means small or old fash- foned. But, to give better service to the people we have built this new store which is the latest in modern construc- tion as you can see for yourselves and also gives uz almost' three times as much space within which to show our mer- chandise to an appreciative public. We owe a great deal to those who have ap- preciated our efforts to serve them and I believe it is only fair to state that the newspapers have been the great medium by means of which we have been able to constantly put before the public: our efforts to serve. Norwich and Connecti- cut may well be proud of the newspapers published in this city. We have made every effort to make this_bullding one that will be a pride to Narwich and Connecticut. It has cost us a great deal of money to do this. We consider this store of great money value. Our stock has considerable value. These assets are worth a great deal of money, but we do not consider these our greatest amssets. 'Our greatest asset is one that is far greater than either of these assets, the greatest property that | we have, iscthe faith of the public in us, and the gratitude -of the people of Nor- wich and the eastern part of Connecticut. If I could sell this, there would be no ‘money that could buy it, and T mean this, It is an asset that I do mot carry on my. books because dollars and cents can- net buy it 1 will not burden you with details of my business enterprise. One of the ob- jects of this grand opening is to promote human intercourse among our friends. You are here to enjoy yourselves and not to be burdened by heavy addresses. Theye are a number of the prominent speakers here who will address you for a few minutes. My friends, T feel great pride in tha store you are now in. T don ot take credit for the success of this company,. Such a success as we have met could mot be possible without the co-operation of such able workers as my associates, Joseph M. Lahn, secretary and treasurer, and Benjamin Lahn, vice president of - the organization of which I have the hon- or to be the head. The faithful assist- ant managers, Clarence Brown and Ray- mond Girard, and the rest of this organ- ization deserve praise, credit and appre- clation for their good work and succes- ful efforts. In closing, T hope you will all have an enjoyable evening. I shall do all T can to make the' evening as pleasant as T can. This is a night ‘set aside for enjoyment, dancing and entertainment. You have helped us to success. Now en- joy our success. - I thank you all very kindly for accepting our invitation to come here this evening. A -number of ithe prominent citizens have come here to enjoy with you and will make a few short addresses. 1 thank you. Others to speak were Secretary J. J.
