New Manager Askin & Marine Credit Clothing Store. The question which has been asked daily for the past week "Who is Hartenstein?" has been answered by Hartenstein himself, who states with an air of one who knows, that he is the new manager of the Askin & Marine credit clothing store at 213 South Michigan street. He comes from New Haven, Conn., and claims the distinction of being organizer of the first store doing business on the dollar-a-week payment plan, the first one having been established in New Haven 19 years ago. He is placing a new stock here, reorganizing the store and its system and bringing everything up-to-date, much to the advantage of the buyer, who is now given the advantage of a charge account rather than a credit system, in the common acceptance of the term. Mr. Hartenstein states that he is a member of several live organizations and besides being a hustler is backed by a wide experience in his line, which he proposes to use to the advantage of both his firm and the buying public. ==================== FROM THE MESSAGE BOARDS Surnames That Might Be of Interest Board : Boards > Surnames > Keener Subject : Reason Keener & Clarinda Reese Author : CctKy Date : 19 Jan 2007 3:05 PM GMT http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XSm.2ACIB/454 Board : Boards > Surnames > Eiler Subject : Re: Eiler, Eilar, Iler & associated families genealogy book Author : CoettaT Date : 22 Jan 2007 11:24 PM GMT http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4gU.2ACIB/28.3.2.1.1.1.1.1 ==================== You are receiving this newsletter because you have expressed an interest in the Berkheisers and their history.
