Goop Worp FoR GLOUCESTER SHO¥ 
STORE. 
-The Boot and Shoe Recorder, one 
of the leading organs of that trade, 
in a recent issue had the following 
article on the attractive store of Ford 
-& Wass of Gloucester. 
“This store was established by 
Frederick E.. Ford and Preston OQ. 
Wass in 1884 in the picturesque city 
of Gloucester, Mass., the shopping 
center of the North Shore colony. 
“Mr. Ford passed away 12 years 
~ ago and since then Mr. Wass has be- 
come the sole owner. 
“Because of the judgment display- 
ed in the selection of the stock carried 
and the determination to extend gei- 
eral fairness and uniform courtesy, 
this shop has become an objective 
point for trade in Gloucester, its sur- 
rounding towns and the North Shore 
colony whose business is a big factor. 
“Originally this store sold shoes 
alone, but three year ago Mr. Wass 
added a hosiery department which 
has become a strong feature. Dur- 
ing-the past two years he has added 
silk sweater coats and sweaters for 
both women and men, with pro- 
nounced success. 
“The accompanying.photo shows the 
interior of the shop which is 24 feet 
by 100 feet and is situated in Post- 
office square in the heart of the city. 
NOR DE Storm h- B RBE Z Ey 
The shop is made especially attrae- 
tive by the booth which encloses the 
hosiery department.” 
“Just A WoMAN.” 
The third and last week of the 
limited engagement of Eugene Wal- 
ter’s strong play, “Just A Woman,” 
will begin at Ye Wilbur Theatre next 
Monday evening with every promise 
of a continued large patronage and 
favorably impressed audiences at 
every performance. Theatregoers 
here well remember Mr. Walter's 
¥Paid’In’ Pull and ywhile’ they «did 
not have an opportunity of seeing his 
greatest success, “The Easiest Way,” 
cwing to its being censored, it still 
stands as one of the most powerful 
American plays written in the past 
decade. Produced by David Belasco 
it had a run of an entire season in 
New York, The same degree of suc- 
cess is expected for “Just A Woman,” 
which will go to a theatre in New 
York for a long run, immediately fol- 
lowing the engagement at Ye Wilbur 
Theatre.

“Brown used to live in Texas, you 
know, and he says he soon found out 
that Rhode Island wasn’t big enough 
for him.” 
“What was the particular trouble?” 
“Why, he was busy arranging to 
put up a big office building, and the 
authorities stopped him just as soon 
as he commenced excavating the cel- 
lar.” 
“What did they say?” 
“They said he’d have to stop. He 
undermining Massachusetts on 
and Connecticut on the 
was 
one side 
other.”
