only dealer in the line At the present time in
this city who has withstood al the financial
storms. While all the rest Of the exclu.
sively dry goods men were swept down by
the terrific financial gale which began in 81
and scattered all competition, he alone
weathersd it and stood in defiance Of its
destructive force, and has built up trade
second to that Of no merchant west Of
Chicago. He il thoroughly the master cf
the business in which he is engaged. His
sales are enormous because he studies ia

purchase goods of him. All are invited ia

His sales last year, while he yet was car
rying on the retail in connecsion with thu
wholes sale business were very hesvy; bu
now having retired from the former branch
his trade will probably more than doubl'
