1895
The
business was started in 1895 on
1906 Despite
the inclement weather yesterday, the fall opening of Watertown's greater and
remodeled west side store, was a decided success and throughout the day the
store was visited by a steady stream of purchasers and the force of clerks,
together with the proprietors, were kept busy all day showing and disposing of
their wares.
Chas.
Fisher & Son Co. never do things by halves. When they announce a special
sale of any kind they invariably back up all claims and the opening of their
three day's sale yesterday morning was no exception to the rule. Hundreds of
people visited the store to take advantage of the special offerings and admire
the decided change in the way of enlargement in the store that has taken place
during the past few weeks. Had the weather been at all favorable, there is no
doubt but that it would have been impossible to have handled the crowds of anxious
buyers and with favorable weather today and Monday, there is no doubt but that
the newly remodeled and enlarged store will present a lively scene . . . 10 06 1906
