"THE BEST"
SPECHT, FINNEY
& SKINNER
VALPARAISO, IND.
Remark: The Tremont House, a very early Valparaiso inn, previously stood at this location.
The following news item appears in the February 18, 1899, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
D. F. L. Skinner has purchased a 44 foot front of the Hamill lots at the north east corner of the Court house square upon which he will erect a large business block to be occupied as a department store by Specht, Finney & Skinner.
Specht & Finney, one of the Vale's most prosperous firms, will expand on March 1, by taking into the form Mr. Leslie R. Skinner, son of D. F. L. Skinner. The firm name will be Specht, Finney & Skinner and they will erect a large department store on the Hamil property on E. Main street.
The following news item appears in the March 4, 1899, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
Valparaiso.
The plan for the department store of Specht, Finney & Skinner to be erected at the northeast corner of the public square has been prepared, and when completed this will be the finest business block in the state. It will be ready for occupancy early next fall.
The following news item appeared in the November 25, 1899, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
Valparaiso.
Fully five thousand people attended the opening of "The Best," Specht, Finney & Skinner's new store, Tuesday evening and saw the finest store room in Northern Indiana.
Thirty traveling representatives of firms from whom "The Best" buys goods, were present, and were entertained at dinner by the firm.
The interior was decorated throughout with green festoons and chrysanthemums and the bright lights and vari-colored goods displayed presented a scene that will not soon be forgotted [sic] by the guests. Music was furnished during the evening by the Bell orchestra, stationed in the waiting room on the west side of the first floor. Perhaps the finest display features of the establishment are the large show windows on the south and west sides, giving an opportunity for display that can not be excelled. The arrangement of the window display shows much skill and taste. The department is under the direction of Mr. Samuel Buchanan, a past master in the art of decorating.
Souvenirs were given away by the thousand during the evening. Cigars, knife sharpeners, rulers, silver pin trays and fancy china saucers were handed out to the guests as long as the supply lasted.
The building is perfectly modern and up-to-date in every detail. It is 132x44 feet, two stories high, with a basement running the full length of the structure. Built of pressed brick and trimmed with Bedford stone it is one of the architectural beauties of Valparaiso.
Messrs. Specht, Finney & Skinner will be assisted by the following corps of clerks: E. K. Finney, W. B. McCallum, Samuel Buchanan, John Claussen, Herman Sievers, H. Lutz, H. Winneguth, Bertha Smith, Brenda Whitmore, Minnie Martin, Eda Finney, Dela Clifford, Lida Axe, Bertha Specht, Hattie Ritter, Bessie Brown, W. Ritter, Clara Deetz, Etta Mullins, Claus Claussen and Ava Campbell.
