BON MARCHE
TO CELEBRATE
39 ANNIVERSARY
-
Well Known Asheville Institution ,
W ill Stage Merchandise Party j
ASHEVILLE. N. C.. July 27.?
On Monday. July 30th. Bon March?.!
well known Aslteville institution,'
will inaugurate its annual anniver
11,.,,;. .1 I
sal V I rirui iitiutt. <t iitumiiMinig uiri
chandising event commemorating
the thirt\ -ninth anniversary of its
| founding.
Born in humble circumstance? i
? when Asheville was a tim mountain
I [village, an unbroken lino of faith
J Till publi service has come down
?jfrom that r'ay to now: so that the
:? 1st ore has become as murh a part < f
;? the lives of the people of western
;I North Carolina as the native pines.
Hand even the mountains themsebrs.
C Bon Man he was founded in 1R99
?? i !>v Solomon I.ipinskv. who for tliir
?* I ty-si\ subsequent years was an out
[? landing figure in the civie and
j! philanthropic ilfe of this section as
I* well as a power in its commercial
t* world. All western Carolina knew
[? and loved him. and he was justly
:? famed for his charitv and kindli
|! ness as a man. and for the high
p minded principles and loft\ ideals
i* evidenced in hi^ every business
;? transaction.
An old Ashevillian oner remark
ed that Solomon Lipinsky started in
business in his humble store on old
South Main Street w ith nothing but
a pood name ? and it was beeause
he eherished a pood name more than
any other stock in trade that he so
rapidly pained ? and held the con
fidence of the people of western
North Carolina ? the one thing that
made possible the amazing forward
strides his business made.
In 1889, the business was housed
in a modest building on South Main
Street, and had a $25,000 volume
of business. The years 1893 and
1897 witnessed the first two ad
vancements made by the store, when
it made moves to larger, more cen
trally located quarters. In twenty
years, the volume of business grew
to SI 40,000 annually.
lln 1911. the store moved to the
heart of the business district on Pat
ton Avenue, where it remained un
til November of 1923, when the
company moved to its new home
where it will celebrate its thirty
ninth anniversary. In 1928, the
volume of business recorded
amounted to a little more than a
million and a half.
The management of the store still
continues in the Lipinsky family,
with the three sons of Solomon Lip
insky holding executive reins. Mor
ris is president and general mana
ger; White vice-president and su
perintendent; Louis is merchandise
manager.
In celebration of the stores thir
ty-ninth anniversary, a month-long
merchandising event is to be staged;
embracing all the power, the energy,
and experience of their entire or
ganization. For months past, their
buyers have been scouring the east
ern markets in preparation for this
great event, and the month promis
es to eclipse pny other month in the
sales history of the store.

LIONS CLUB
SEEKS YE OLE
SWIMMIN' HOLE
Committee Appointed to Investigate
A fallibility of Site in Iain's
Pasture
The Lions Club inaugurated a
movement Tuesday night to secure
a site for a swimming hole for the
grown-ups and girls of Murphv as
well as for the freckled f ired hare
foot boys, when a committee was
appointed to investigate the availi
bilitx of the site in the pasture of
Jasper L. Fain on Hiawa-see River
above the mouth of \ alley River
land often used b\ the Baptists in
| administering the ordinance of bap
tism.
Tli i- site. it was pointed out. was
most I \ sand bottom, and the depth
of the water wa? such that it made
an ideal place for a -wirnining hole,
and it- close proximity to town and
ease of access, also made it desir
able.
It ?s planned to erect a bathing
pavilion, with steps leading down
into the water and platform for
bathers, the cost of which is es
timated at around fifty or sixtv dol
lars. which the committee believed
could be made up from individual
subscriptions. The committee ap
pointed is composed of Harvc ?1
kin-. George Cope and Rirby Hoov
er. and an) one having any of the
filtln lucre to donate toward the
(project is requested to see either of
these.
That a decent place where the
people can g?? in swimming and get
out of the water and die . -without %
getting as inuddv as a hog. has been
a long-felt need for Murphy. \
great many of the boys and girls,
and even ladies and gents ? the
grown-ups ? have been using a num
ber of places about on the rivers
I this summer, and many have been
the requests that the Lions get be
hind a movement to secure and fix
I up some sort of a bathing or swim
ming hole and relieve the present
disagreeable situation to soml* de
gree.
At the meeting of the Club Tues
day night, President Fain announc
ed that the joint meeting with the
l Asheville and Bryson City Clubs, at
Bryson, which will also take the
form of the regular ladies night,
had been postponed until sometime
in August.
