been seen at openings before. An
other. thing that contributed to make
so many people come out to the
openings wss the fact that all of the
merchants agreed upon the same
day to make their displays.
Moat of the stores were elabor
ately decorated for the openings and
the scenes were unusually brilliant,
It is said that the hats were the
handsomest ever seen In this city,
and all the atorea had them In larg
er numbers than ever before. Some
of tbe Parisian creations were sim
ply magnificent, while all the sim
pler Styles were greatly admired.
There were all sbapes and sites
o' lists In tbe displays and It was a
perfect study to look Into tbe varl-
•ous creations, to consider tbe ma
terial, shape, etc. '
Most of tbe merchants were not
trying to take orders yesterday, pre
ferring for the ladles to make
thorough Inspection and place their
orders later, but It Is said that a
, large number of splendid bats and'
dress suits were sold. Some of
-thp merchants , declare that their
snles were the largest they ever bad
on an opening day and all of tbe
merchants agreed that the outlook
tor trade this spring Is better than
ever before.
Easter comes earlier this year
than during the past two or three
years, and this will have the ettect
of making the ladlea put In their
orders a little sooner, ss nearly all
or the women want to join the Eas
ter parade of new hats and dresses.
The sales ladles and .trimmers In
all of the stores were pretty well
fagged out today, though they will
hardly get much rest befors Satur
day night, as every day this week
will be almost like opening day.

Original French Market Coffee
The Coffee With a History
The secret of the roasting process, and the blend, by
which is produced the rare aroma and marvelous flavor of
the French Market Coffee, was well kept for over a century.
Even today imitations are little like the original
Few realize that French Market Coffee is roasted nearly
twice as long as ordinary coffee.
Yet all its delightful properties are retained and intensified.
Harshness and bitterness are roasted out, leaving only the
smoothness and aromatic flavor that is so delightful—so
different from other coffees.
Mi MartefCbffee
That is why French Market Coffee has always been the favorite
midnight beverage of New Orleans society. Why it is the coffee
with a history.
In France and Austria only dre there coffees prepared with the
same exquisite care that is characteristic of French Market Coffee.
But nowhere in the world is there a duplicate of the Unique Hygienic
Roasting Process used at the French Market Mills in the production
of French Market Coffee. \
Until the building of the French Market Mills, this historic coffee-
blend could be had only at the French Market in New Orleans.
But NOW you all may enjoy it daily on your own tables. For gen
uine French Market Coffee is now delivered everywhere in hermetically-
sealed tins—in all its full natural strength and delicious flavor.
“There is only one real o’d French Market flavor."
