Interior of Store in Holiday Dress

The interior of the Urken & Kohn department store has taken on its holiday attire. Festoons of holly and laurel have been artistically draped about the store and among the green here and there is a red Xmas bell. The windows, under the direction of Benjamin Peitzman, have also been adorned with an attire appropriate to the season.

At the present time Urken & Kohn are offering as a special Comet shaving sets which include a nickel plated razor, full size brush, stick of Williams' shaving soap and a stropper for resharpening purposes. These sets originally sold for $2.50, but by a special reduction they may be obtained for $2.25, each set guaranteed. The store is also offering a fine line of umbrellas, running from 78 cents to $5.00.
