RECORD OF BUT TWO YEARS
Growth and Expansion of a Young Enterprise
Proves the Possibilities of Houston.
It isn't January 1. yet many changes
are scheduled to tiike place within a
radius of a few hlorks.
One of the principal moves to be made
and one that excites special Interest
among men is the "move ahead" to oe
made by the opular men s store Leopold
& Prh e.
This store Is but a little over two years
old yet look and acts like a full grown
business.
About Christ maa time two years back
"Dave" Price and " Hilly" Leopold were
then with Ed Klam. the largest exclusive
men's store In town.
Mr. Leopold was at the head of Mr.
FUom's tailoring business Mr. Irlce tns
top man In th clothing- department.
Klam was doing a successful business
helped alor.K n doubt by "Leopold anil
Price." It had occurred to these two
gentlemen at different times that If they
could work fur another man successfully
they could do even hotter for themselves
but neither with nerve or bnckuon
enough to try it. Whether mental tel-
epathy had nnythlng to do with It or not
these separate thoughts soon became one
and "castles were tu; lit In th air'
Then earnestly si-berly. slncp)y and
hopefully the possibility was thought of
and talked of. until their final decision
tt open a business.
They hed small capital but plenty of
grit and. best f all. a host of
friends
Tl
'hese thlnsra. coupled with a determina
tion to win soon procured a suitable loca
tionthe room being local d by Mat-
thews Bros at 607 Main 1-eopold

It took time to buy foods. It took as
long to furnish the room; longfr stlli for
the doors to open but 1 fhruary 11

democrat lo convention at Denver ar-
rived In Houston last night st 9 o'clock
