There lias been filed in one of

injunction to preserve property,
but it will be a queer application
of this instrumently if it can keep
up the price of railroad tickets.

MAGNIFICENT STORE.
NEW HOME OF THE WILLIAM;HENGERER
COMPANY WAS THROWN OPEN TO
THE PUBLIC YESTERDAY.
BEAUTIFUL FLORAL GIFTS.
Business Competitors of the Great Depart
ment Store Showed a Generous Spirit by
Contributing Floral Testimonials of Good
Will—Thousands of Persons Visited the
Great Store and Were Amazed at What
They Saw.
Buffalo Commercial, May 10th.
Words cannot fittingly or adequately
describe the opening of the William
Hengerer Company's new store in the
big steel and stone structure that has
risen on the site of the old Tifft House
on Main street. Business and profes
sional men who visited the store last
evening said that it was simply mag-' 1
niflcent. The matrons called it beauti
ful and grand, while the young debut
antes fresh from school said that it was
perfectly lovely and a dream of beauty.
Extravagance of statement is always a
charming fault in a charming girl, and
yet of all the different characterizations
made by those who visited the store
yesterday she undoubtedly came the
nearest to telling the truth. The store
is indeed, from to top to bottoma dream
of beauty. It surpasses in loveliness
the anticipations of the friends of the
William Hengerer Company. It de
monstrates that art and good taste can
combine with wealth to make a store J
in Buffalo not surpassed iu all its ap-1
pointments by even the great metropo- !
litan stores.
It is doubtless true that there are big
ger stores in New York and Chicago.
John Wanamaker can boast of his im
mense establishment and Marshall
Field's place in Chicago is the wonder
of the west, but it is also true that
there is not today a department store
that is more complete in every line ard
better equipped with every conven
ience bordering upon luxury than the
Hengerer store In all that goes to
make up a first class, modern, up-to
date establishment catering to the per
sonal and household necessities of the
human race, this store leaves nothing
to be desired.
The crowds that gathered from early
in the morning until late at dight indi
cated the eagerness with which the
public had been waiting for a chance
to inspect the new store People began
to press for admittance before the doors
were open in the morning. They
came in increasing numbers during
the day. Late in the afternoon the es
tablishment was a vertiable human
hive. At night no goods were sold,
but the recption went on The crowds
kept coming. They listened to the
music ol the Marcus orchestra. They
gathered around the great soda water
fountain. They rendezvoused in and
about the rotunda and spent no little 1
portion of the time around the railings
on the upper floors gazing down upon
the restles?, moving, surging crowds
below. It was indeed an inspiring
sight, and it is safe to say that few per
sons will visit the Hengerer store with
out stopping for a few minutes,at least,
tp be caught by the hypnotic spell that j
hangs over the rotunda.
THE FLORAt, DISPLAY.
Perhaps nothing in the attracted
so much attention and favorable com
ment as the fi 'ral display. It was
magnificent. Flowers bloomed and <
blossomed on all sides. And such flow
ers they were, great handsome Ameri |
can Beauty rose', carnations of the j
rarest growth, violet* of the most deli
cate fragrance, palms and ferns that
seemed to have sprung up as in some
tropical garden, lilies of purest white,
and native and exotic plants of all
kinds, added to the beauty and
splendor of the store.
The most remarkable thing, how
ever, in connection with the floral dis
play is the /act that not one flower was
purchased for use upon the opening i
day. Everything was contributed by j
admiring friends. Some of these gifts j
took fantastic shapes. One well-known
New York house contributed a floral
umbrella. Another concern presented I
a floral skirt with a magnificent train.'
Ships, wreaths, baskets, horseshoes
and emblems of all kinds added variety I
to the display. The private oil icon of!
the ofßcers of the company were a j
bower of beauty The offerings of their |
personal and business friends were so j
num rous th it it was with difficulty
that room could bo found in which to
place them.
President William Hengerer was
greatly touched by this display of
friendship and good will. But that
which touched him most were the
floral contributions of some of his com
petitors. The 11. A. Meldum Company
and J. N. Adam & Co., presented some
beautiful flcwers to the Hengerer Com
pany, and evidenced that in spite of
business rivalries and stern competi
tion there is a sincere admiration for
those who have honestly earned suc
cess and that not the least among those I
who are willing to offer congratulations j
upon this evidence of success are the ;
men who have won similar success in I
the same line of business.
THE CAFE AND KITCHEN.
No description of the opening of the
William Hengerer Company would be
complete without mention ofthe cafeon
the sixth floor. This restaurant is
complete in every appointment. There
is a separate dining room where men
may smoke their after dinner cigars,
while the apartment for women is
most elegantly furnished. It is large,
airy, and from the Main street windows
a glimpse of Lake Erie and the Niagara j
river can be obtained.
The caterer in charge of the restaur
ant is the veteran Cretien Mugel, form
erly of New "York, but for the past 14
years one of Buffalo's most celebrated
chefs. Mr.Mugel knows the art of cook
ing and serving as well as any cbef in

the country. The kitchen is on the
| same floor as the restaurant, and the
whole arrangement is made with a
! view of supplying a meal speedily and
at a minimum of labor. The kitchen
' is supplied with great Jewett refriger
ators, where meats of all kinds are
kept in cold storage. All washing of
dishes is done by machinery, a great
saving of labor. Filtered ice water is
used not only in the restaurant but all
through the building. The service is
I ample and a delightful lunch can be
j furnished within five minutes after the
order is given.
A French baker from New York has
been engaged and he will make a feat
ure of the bread and rolls used in ihe
restaurant. A French pastrycook will
be in chrrge of that line of the cuisine
Every attention will be paid to the
wanta of customers, that the restaurant
will prove a success is evidenced by
j the fact that on the opening day more
! than 1000 persons were fed
THE OKOCBBY DEPARTMENT.
The visitor who combined economy
1 of effort wiih a desire to see the store
from top to bottom began his or her
tour of inspection with the restaurant
on the top floor. After preparing for
the trip with a substantial meal, the
first visit was paid to the grocery de
partment on the namn flaor with the
restaurant. The cleanliness, the new
ness and the neatness of the grocery
department were the things that im
pressed a Commercial reporter as he
passed by counters loaded with choice
bottled goods, canned goods of all
kinds, smoked meats, cheeses and
butter, and in fact everything that is
needed to supply a first-class table.
HANDSOME FURNITURE.
On the fifth floor is the furniture de
partment, which is one of the most
complete in the city The line of oak
and mahogany tables, stands, chairs,
buffets, bedsteads and pieces of every j
' description needed to furnish a cottage |
jor a mansion is as complete as could !
!be desired. It is a wonderful depart- !
ment. On the same floor is the exhibit !
of premiums by the Sperry & Hutchin- j
' son Company. This is the company '
that furnishes the green trading stamp !
which has contributed in no little de .'
j gree to the popularity of the Hengerer
store. Tne exhibit includes nearly
i everything in the line of housahold
! goods, and a trip through the depart
i ment will convince the stamp collector '
of the value of getkiug the little green
stamp
THE ART GALLERY.
Many persona spent a delightful half
hour in the art gallery on the flfth
floor. Here are gathered some of the
! works of the masters They are all
• works of art and fit to hang in the par
lors of a nabob. The pictures are ar- I
ranged according to their character
I The oil paintings occupy aroom apart
J and the artificial light is so arranged as
to throw a soft radiance over the can
vaß. The connoisseur in art can spend
! a most profitable hour in looking at the
| pictures in the Hengerer gallery
MAGNIFICENT RUGS AND CARPETS.
T .e fourth floor is devoted to rugs!
and carpets, curtains and draperies. |
Such a display lias seliiom if ever been
seen in Buffalo before. It is a perfect
revelation to pass through this depart
ment and see the wonderful rugs and
carpets in stock. Some of the rugs are
all silk and one was sh >wn to a Com
meroial reporter that is valued at R5 -
I 000.
i Tne Hengerer Company has in this j
| department a Persian silk palace rug |
J of antique make, which is said to have '
I come from the thorne room of a Persian '
potentate. In the rug are contained j
the composite representations of all the
famous periods in Persian history, j
The flowers in the rug are a eontribu- j
tion to beauty and bapuiness. They
are surrounded by a red ground of I
magnificent hue denoting the life blood j
of the nation. Through this ground j
are Iran effects with animal and floral '
decorations representing the spirits of |
misfortune overshowed by the gods of j
protection and prosperity. Upo'n each
corner of the center panel is a column
which is said to testify to the power of
the ruler The center of the rug is
surrounded by a series of borders exe
cuted in an old and masterly manner
in complete harmony with the center
design. The colors produced in the
rug are of dyes extracted from a wood '

THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS.
The third floor is primarily known }
las the millinery floor, although the j
| stock of ready-to-wear women's goods
| is 011 display here, together with a com
plete line of corsets and muslin under- j
wear. The offlces of the firm are also ;
I located on this floor. The William '
| Hengerer Company's display of milli- j
1 nery is as complete as could be de
| sired. Everything for everybody is a j
motto of the department. The most 1
expensive creations in lovely headgear j
are for the purse that can afford it, j
while for the less fortunate woman are j
hats and toques in keeping with her cir 1
cumstances. It is a department for the
rich and poor alike and all will he
served with the very best for the
money.
The great attraction on the second 1
floor is the soda water fountain. All 1
day long thousands of persons met
here and regaled themselves with
nectar fit for the gods. This depart- !
ment has already become famous, and :
women out on a shopping tour make
arrangements to meet their friends at
the fountain. The fountain is said to
be the third largest in America, and
it is a remarkable and beautiful piece
of architecture. The front is of Mexi
can onyx, the rarest obtainable, and j
the massive woodwork is of solid i
mahogany. The serving counter is of j
mahogany, on which rests chocolate ■
marble two inches thick. The foun
tains and its fittings are fifty feet long, j
Two statuettes,carved inCarrara, Italy,
flank the immense central mirror on |
each side. The tables for those who !
desire to refresh themselves in private
parties aro well arranged and are
hidden from public view by stands j
covered with immense ferns and tropi- 1
cal plants. All kinds of hot and cold !
drinks, ice cream, ice cream soda and j
bouillon are served.
ON THE MAIN FLOOR
The main floor is devoted to notions, '
ribbons, laces, handkerchiefs, drugs,
books, hosiery, umbrellas, shoes and i
jewelry. The jewelry department is a ,
marvel. Diamonds ofthe rarest purity
and value are in stock, some of them |
costing thousands of dollars. The de
partment is in charge of Clement 11.
Davison, who came to this city from
Chicago.
The elevator service is marvelous.
Six immense el evators are in constant
commission. Each of them holds 30
persons. They are equipped with j
double folding doors, so that when
they are opened the full front of the
elevator to thrown open to allow an I
easy access to and exit from the elevat- '
ors.
It is only necessary to add in conclu
sion that the entire stock from top to
bottom is entirely new. That fact
shows for itself and was the subject of
favorable remark by visitors to the
store yesterday. The variety and
vo!ume are simply wonderful.
No one can go through the store of
the William Hengerer Company with
out a certain sense of personal pride, a
pride inspired by the knowledge that
this is a Buffalo store, built up by Buf
fnlonians,managed byßuffalonians,and
largely for the benefit of Buffalonians.
It is a store which Buffalonians will
take pleasure in showing their friends
from out of the city as an example of
Buffalo enterprise" and success. The
whole city rejoices in the achievement
ofthe William Hengerer Company.
