In 1924—" The Fastest Growing Store in State
In 1940—" You Can Gel II at METZGER'S"
In 1924 the campus was a decidedly different place from what it is today.
One of the hit silent movies was "The White Moth, starring Barbara LaMarr and
Conrad Teale. In the Collegian it was described as "The French theater brought
to the .screen. French romance and a French dancing chorus—all done in a typ- .
ically French way." . . . Fatimas were the most popular brand of cigarettes . . .
The captain of the State wrestling team, Katsutoshi Naito, represented Japan in
the Olympic Games . . . A campus presidential survey gave Coolidge and Dawes
722 votes and Davis and Bryant 161 . . . Andy Lytle, almost 90 years old, was
made an honorary freshman by the class of 1928 . . . class meetings were held
in the Bull Pen . . . there were 3537 students in attendance—less than half the
present enrollment.
METZGER'S IN 1924-
Sixteen years ago Metzger's stayed in the vanguard as State College grew
by leaps and bounds. The store advertised itself as "The fastest growing store
in State College." Today this slogan has been replaced by "You can get it at
Metzger's," but the meaning is the same—Metzger's is the most completely
stocked store in town. In the summer of 1924 the State College post office was
erected and South Allen Street was paved for the first time. Metzger's kept pace
with this modernization, however, and today the store is the first stopping place
for State College shoppers.
METZGER'S TODAY--
Today Metzger's is one of the largest store's in town, and is constantly be
ing increased in size. Last winter a store room was build on the second floor to
provide 1800 square feet of space in which a reserve stock is kept so that customers
will never be disappointed. The latest improvement, a basement sales room for
toys and athletic goods, will be opened about Dec. 6. This will add 1200 more
square feet of floor space and will firmly establish Metzger's store as State Col
lege's leading business place. • •
