ZUIEBACK AND CANTOR OPEN THEIR
NEW THREE-STORY FURNITURE STORE

Several thousand people attended the grand opening of the newest
furniture house, opened on Thursday, that of Zuieback and Cantor, at 9332
Oakland avenue, between Westminster and Owen avenues. The new fur-
niture establishment is undoubtedly the finest of its kind in the North End
of Detroit and one of the finest in the city. The furniture home is housed
in a three-story building on a lot 30 by 100. All modern conveniences and
architectural devices make the building the most attractive business place
in the northern part of the city.
Rudolph Zuieback and Joseph Cantor, heads of the new firm, are well
known in this city. Mr. Zuieback has been active for the past few years
in many Jewish activities. As president of the El Moshe Synagogue and
Mimed Tornh on Twenty-ninth street and Michigan avenue; as an active
worker for the United Hebrew Schools of Detroit and member of various
otner organizations and movements here, he is listed among the leading
communal workers in the city among the local business men. Mr. Cantor
has been in the furniture business for more than 15 years and is con-
sidered an expert in his line. Only the best and finest in furniture, bought
from leading firms in the country, will be carried by the new firm, Mr.
Cantor said on opening day.
A band of music entertained the crowds who came to see the new store
on the opening day. Valuable souvenirs were given to men and women
visitors.

Beginning with our Grand Opening Day, Saturday, Aug.
26th, and for thethree following days, we offer to the people
of Detroit 20 per cent off on KellySpringfield Tires.

ALSO AN INNER TUBE FREE WITH EACH PURCHASE!

We aim to make this the greatest Wholesale and Retail Tire Exchange in Detroit. The proprietors,
