With a steady healthy growth each year brings to Sidney new enterprises or the enlargement of old ones.  As announced some time ago in this paper, I.  H. Thedieck procured the whole of Wagner's hall for the use of his wholesale and retain sale of carpets and curtains.  This room is in the third story of the Wagner building and has a floor space of 54x100 feet, well lighted from
both ends.  To make it convenient and available it was necessary to put in an elevator, this has been done by putting in an improved water motor elevator that carrys customers from the general store on the first floor to the cloak department on the second floor or the carpet and curtain room on the third floor or to the basement.  During the past week his spring stock had been put in and arranged for display.  Mr. Thedieck had taken the opportunity of informing the public through the Democrat and Daily News that he would have a grand opening yesterday and that every body was cordially invited to come and see the improvements he had made and the opening of his new spring stock.  It was a grand affair and indeed a grand success. Through the day many hundred of people visited the store but last evening the number reached into the thousands.  In the evening no goods were sold
and the visitors were just shown through the store, and for two hours there was a vast throng of people continually coming and going.  The Sidney orchestra furnished excellent music for the occasion.  Flowers were distributed among the visitors.  The store was tastefully arranged and is being well light with electricity and gas presented a beautiful  appearance throughout.  Mr. Thedieck may well feel proud of his store as he has one of the largest and finest in this part of the State."
