GREAT NEW STORE FOR BUFFALO The Sweeney Co. Will Soon Open a Department Store on the Site of the Barnes & Hengerer Estab lishment-Interesting Facts About a Mammoth Enterprise. STORY OF AN HISTORIC SITE The most historic site in Western New York, as well as the most famous, is the location of the now store of The Sweeney Company at Nos. 256-2(58 Main Street, Buftalo. It was way back in 1845 that Mr. C. J. Hamlin first established a general merchandise store in Buffalo, and in 1860 T. J. Mensden & Co., in which store Mr. Hamlin was interested, open ed a carpet and wall paper establish ment in the same location where The Sweeney Company will begin business early in May. In 1861, that memorable year, and on the very day that Fort Sumpter was fired upon, the firm of Hamlin & Mens den opened a remodeled store on the same site for the sale of dry goods. Since that time there have been many changes. In 1866 the firm of Falkner, Potts & Jackson were the proprietors of tho store, and they were succeeded in 1868 by Barnes & Bancroft, which firm later became Barnes & Hengerer and the William Hengerer Company. The Hengerer firm has recently rented another building. Now The Sweeney Company comes into possession of the largest building between New York and Chicago used for retail merchandising; and thus on the same historic site where the doors of the most progressive store of the ante-bellum days swung open, early next month a vast mercantile estab lishment will begin business The president of the new store is Mr. John F. Sweeney,who is also pres ident of the big department store of Buffalo known as the H. A. Meldrum Company. Mr. Sweeney will have personal charge of the business. The other offlcers of the company are: Wil liam Hamlin, vice-president; H. A. Meldrum, treasurer and Donald Mac kay, secretary. The Sweeney Company's store will be a new kind of a store, selling relia ble quality merchandise cheap for caah. With practically unlimited capital, the store is founded on a cash basis. The results of this principle are manifold— those who pay cash are not charged extra prices to make up the losses of charged accounts Every article of merchandise in the new store is of thoroughly reliable quality There are no inferior goods, no fabrics of un worthy quality, for the Sweeney Com pany is founded on the solid rock of good merchandise cheap for cash. One of the rules of the new store is to have every customer a satisfied cus tomer. The Sweeney Company will not count a sale as closed until the pur chaser gets the goods home and is per feetly satisfied with them. The new store says: "If you are not pleased, if for any reason the goods are not just as we presented them, bring them back, or send them to us and we will give you back your money cheer fully and willingly." The exact date of the opening of The Sweeney store will be announced in this paper in a week or two and everybody contemplating a trip to Buffalo will do well to watch for the date of opening, for the most extra ordinary bargains that have ever been offered are promised for the opening week; and in fact the wise shopper will always be able to save money at The Sweeney Store for it will be the home of bargains. While the front portion of tho mam moth store will be a bargain mart, the remainder of the great structure will be turned over to a host of workmen, for improvements that will entail an expenditure of more than $200,000 are to be carried out on the building. New elevators, new electric lighting ar rangements, new fixtues, and the rais ing of th(; skylight from the first floor to the roof, thus affording vast floor space which will stretch, unbroken from Main to Pearl streets, a distance of nearly 230 feet—all these and many other improvements are to be carried out while the wheels of industry are in motion. The department managers of the new store have been selected from every quarter of the country. Each man is ripe in experience and has been eminently successful in his particular department. These buyers have searched tho markets of the world. They have gone to the mills and factories and have gathered to gether a magnificent assortment of re liable quality merchandise that will be sold at the lowest prices ever quoted. The visitors to Buffalo, or the per sons who wish to shop by mail, will find where the Barnes & Hengerer store used to be a new, live, up-to-date department store radiant with new merchandise—a great bargain center where they can fill all their wants at a substantial saving, for soon The Sweeney Company will be a house hold name throughout the land, a synonym for honest dealing and full money's worth.
