TIE NEW SHERMAN HoUsE.-It is now ten
months since the new Sherman House was
opened 10 the public. Within that time their
books show tUe;sfy four tAo1.sand arrivals, or an
average of eighty per day The period covers the
dullest Eeason Of the year, and the year is one
Of war and general depression. It i therefore
a most significant token, and one We gladly
notice, that this noble hotel enterprise has
been q SUCCESS. The house is now doing
large business, and its daily register shows
full page, from which We read the fact Of its
Own prosperity, and that the trade and travel
Of the country are still increasing. Mine host
Roberts has placed his hotel establishment on
sure basis and made it credit to the city
and the Northwest. First Impressions go a
great ways, and visitors to our city who begin
at the princely Sherman have good start for
favorable views Of our city and section.
Go to John Jones, 11e Dearborn st., and get you,
clothes thoroughly cleaned and neatly repaired
