 sociation, Brooklyn, has installed a pri- 

 vate exchange telephone system in its 

 oflBces at 162 Livingston street, and has 

 fitted up a directors' room handsomely 



and enlarged its oflSce space and staff, a 

 move made necessary, Manager Craw- 

 buck says, by their increasing business. 



One of the handsomest retail stores in 

 Brooklyn is H. H. Jahn's, on Prospect 

 place, a splendid corner, which he owns 

 and on which he has built also a fine con- 

 servatory. This is one of the centers of 

 aesthetic Brooklyn and growing rapidly. 

 Mr. Jahn is deeply interested in the 

 growth of the retail' society and one of 

 the prominent officials in the club's man- 

 agement.

 Brooklyn, celebrate their silver anni-

 New York and Brooklyn.

John Young says the big 701-foot

The Fruit Auction Co. will begin daily

 well into the spring.

 ronto, will be in New York March 19 

 and 20, purchasing Easter novelties for 

 his popular Canadian employer. 



A. Hanig's new store at the corner of 

 Nostrand and St. Marks avenue, under 

 the management of Mme. Hanig, is prov- 

 ing an encouraging success. Mr. Hanig 

 contemplates a trip to the coast this 

 summer and says he will open a branch 

 store in San Francisco. 



Joseph E. Leikens has been laid up at
