The Prej.sdices Overcome.

THNHERE is one thing certain, that the prejudi-
Il ces which had 50 long existed in the mnds of
many persons, against Ready-made Clothing. have
been almost entirely overcome in this community
by the positive proof furnished by FRANK & Co.,
to those who have been dealing with them, that
Clothing can be procured at their establishment Of
the best qualities and at infinitely loWer prices than
can be had anywhere else. They have shown that
they can sell their Ready-made Clothing for less
than the natural cost of the material of which they
are made. Their mode Of buying and laying iE
goods enables them to do what they say, and they
defy all competition, no matter in what place,
County or Stale. Ii is hardly necessary to say a
word more. Their friends and customers are con-
WINGED that they can save money by buying from
them. Their object is not to make as much as
they can out Of a customer who may favor them
with call. Their aim is always to make honest
bargains by which they may procure permanent
customers. They invite the attention ofthelr trends
and the public generally to their stock Of SPRING
AND SUMMER CLOTHIN 6 just opened, and
guarantee for them in advance that they will be
pleased with both goods and prices. Their stock
CONSISTS of general assortment Of all descriptions
sizes, and qualities They thank their friends and
customers tor their past patronage and respectfully
solicit continuance of the same.
