WOMEN'S INTERESTS Fifth Avenue Soon Have Another 5 And 10 Store First Established Three Years Ago Proved Thoroughly That Wealthy are as Keen for Bargains for Nickels as Those Who Must Make Every Cent Count Ily AORKHT T. SMALL (C*vy right- 1924. B? Tha A?*an<?) New York. June 5.-^?Another 5i and 10 cent store is about to iuvade] the most sacred shopping precincts of Fifth Avenue, the show street of America. The new emporium where pur chases will be paid for on the nickel and dime basis is to be located at the Southwest corner of Thirty-fifth street, which is Just across the Ave nue from Altman's and only two short blocks from Tiffany's. A score or more of other shops of na tional and International renown life within a few hundred yards of the new Invasion. The Thirty-fifth street store is scheduled to open about August * when It will blaze forth in all Its red and gold splendor. This out ward "flash" in the way of store dec orations is a thing which Fifth Ave nue has been trying for years to avoid. The Firth Avenue Associa tion long ago obtained the consent of all poperty owners and store pro prietors to do away with electric signs. Next followed the abolish ment of all signs overhanging the sidewalk. Lastly came the oblitera tion from many of the bigger estab lishments of any outward means of indentificatlon whatsoever. Some of the -best known and most exclusive of all New York's shops have no let tering of any sort on building or windows to guide would-be-patrons. You simply have to be initiated to know these places. The 5 and 10 cent stores do not believe of course. In any such poli cy of hiding the light under the bush el. They want their signs and their familiar red fronts to be much in evidence that anyone who runs may read. They even want the occupants of the most luxurious limousines to be conscious that they are passing an Institution for the glorification of the American nickel and the dime. They want tho bus riders who may wonder Just which big mercantile palace is which to be In no doubt when they ure in the vicinity of the 5 and 10. This is the second of the 5 and 10 stores to go to Fifth Avenue. The first one was located at Fortieth street some two or three years ago and those who passed the place in clined to grin at it with umusement. They said it had been put there for advertising purposes only; that It could not possibly be a commercial success. It was argued that shoppers along Fifth Avenue were not of tho t> and 10 variety. There was nothing In tht class which could attract them. If they were looking for 5 and 10 cent store things they would go on Sixth Avenue or on Fourteenth or Eighteenth street. They recalled that it was from In front of a 5 and 10 cent store In the latter neighbor hood that a little baby was kid napped from Its perambulator about a year ago and was never heard from afterwards. The 5 and 10 was made for poor people with babies in the arms. It would never do on Fifth Avenue. Yet tho 5 and 10 cent store cor poration. with Its half a hundred . millions of dollars Invested through- . out the country, will tell you today that their first Fifth Avenue store has prospered beyond their fondest dreams. Evidently the people on Fifth Avenue are Just as desirous of chasing the small bargain as the Distinctive A very unusual cape that la a part of the frock on one side and quite detached on the other makes this gown of almond-green silk with satin overplalds distinctive. The wide flat band of braiding run* nlng from ?houlder to hem line is most effective on figured material. The cuff almost covering tho hand is a fashionable touch. completely with the Fifth Avenue idea. No signs are permitted on the restaurants. The white fronts are shoppers in any of the poorer sec tions of the city. The new store Is going right square into tho most exclusive sec tion of the avenue and its promoters believe it will prove the same sort of gold mine as the first venture in to the district. In adding to its Fifth Avenue hold ings the 5 and 10 corporation mere ly Is following the lead of a chain of the cheaper restaurants. This chain has half a score of dining places on Fifth Avenue today. But the restaurant people have fallen In Bites-stings Apply w?t baking soda or house hold ammonia, followed by VICKS VA po rub Ovmr IT MUUO0* J art UmmJ Ymmrly DANCE TONIGHT Hquaro Dance 8 to 11.AO at Cohoon Social Hall over Cut Hate Drug Store For the State Senate T.
