THE MORRISON HOTEL
Chicago, 111.., Au 6* 1915
Dear Friend-I
I am in Chicago attending an annual event, known as "Market Week
and Fashion Show." It is an occasion of importance from many stand
points to one who desires authentic information as to the Correct Styles
and Fashions, it is almost indispensable. It is an education for one
who wants to get and give out to his customers and patrons the best of
to be had. It is largely attended by thousands of buyers,
Merchants and Manufacturers from all parts of the United States and
abroad. We exchange ideas and methods of what, where and when to buy,
and how to sell goods in a progressive and intelligent way. Doctors at
tend lectures and read all the new publications on medicine and surgery:
Lawyers have to be informed on points and changes of the law--both State
and National, to be successful and employed: Teachers go away and study
to better prepare themselves that they may be more useful in their chos
en profession, and so on. That's what I'm here for--going to school, if"
you want to call it that. Learning all I can regarding styles, values,
etc., that I may better please and serve my customers the coming season.
We are planning the greatest retail campaign ever attempted by any one
firm in that part of the good old State of Georgia. There will be good
times, good prices, lots of money and no Boog-a-Bear of war, as last
'year, which, after all, talk hurts us worse. The harvest will find us
all happy, in high speed, with a full head of steam. I will promise you
there will be no dull times around THE OLD RELIABLE NEW YORK STORE this
fall and winter. I am planning now, and buying with this in view.
Chicago is the largest and most central market for Dry Goods in the
U. S.--being second city in size. As you know they are large makers of
Suits, Coats, Dresses and Millinery too, besides what one sees here in
the large wholesale houses and in the largest retail stores in the world
and on the street, in the way of new styles, colors and materials.
Chicago as a city has arranged a VERY unique and instructive pro
gram at the Midway Garden--a summer resort for the visitors, every even
ing during their stay. On an immense stage of beautiful furnishings and
scenery are two hundred living models wearing and displaying every imag
inable style and oolor of the latest creation known to the fashion world
—both local and foreign. I wish that all my customers that care for,
and admire beautiful costumes as I do, could see the grand exhibition of
costly wearing apparel of the newest and latest conception as to styles
and fabric. An orchestra of over one hundred pieoes furnish music for
the occasion, directed by the well known Max Bendix. Another novel idea
staged by the Manufacturers of Chicago in 4 acts with appropriate stage
scenery, setting and costumes are as follows: The first number sets
forth a street scene in the early morning, the space being devoted lar
ely to a spacious show window in a modern store. As the scene pro
gresses, the window curtains are raised, displaying a number of models.
Customers pass the store and select one of the dresses for inspection.
This gives the living models in the windows an opportunity to walk
about and display the gowns. The second number represents a modern
Horse show, with a display of high class garments appropriate for such
occasions. The third number is a garden party scene, in which the
guests arrive in motor cars, thus providing ample means for displaying
the various kinds of wraps and gowns. The fourth number, an evening
ball room scene. All living models, of course. This beautiful out
door plaisance is admirably fitted for such an occasion, and is of un
told benefit to all interested in the manufacture or sale of goods.
I have the satisfaction of knowing that I have seen it all here,
and I hope to have the result of my visit reflected in all departments
of our store and stock this fall and winter.
I will go to New York on or about 15th of August on the same
mission.
I will be VERY HAPPY to serve you in any capacity at any time. I
extend a special invitation to visit and make our store your headquar
ters this fall and winter.
Yours truly,
R. N. ETHERIDGE.
