It Was Like the Opening of a Great Exposition
, iWhen The Gimbel Store Started This Morning The Sale of the .Wonderful
Slocks of SWa New York
A. A. Vantine &c Co. the country's foremost orientalists for seventy-five years conducted at 39th Street and Fifth Avenue, New York, a great
departmentized store for the selling of everything from the Orient and many things of American make that were compatible with the lines.
Lach class of goods had its specialist and Vantine Porcelains, or Vantine Furniture, or Vantine Kimonos, or embroidered linens or cottons, or
wonder challis, or what not, represented not part of a hodge-podge, but the collecting of an expert.
With the Vantine goods we include many Oriental imports gathered by our experts. Yet the addition of Gimbel goods is kept clear to the public.
Vantine price; sale price" means an actual bit of Vantine goods, or package of tea. or sweetmeats. "Gimbel price; jale price" means a Gimbel import of
