DRY GooDs ON ONTARIO STREEr.-We take
pleasure in calling the attention of our
readers to the Dry Goods House of J.. NJ.
Hover & Co., I24 Ontario street. The firm
consists of. NJ, J.L. and ". H. Hover. The
senior member of the firm, J. NJ. Hover, is
well known to cur citizens as having been
formerly connected with the House of j.
NJ. & H. T. Hover, $50 Superior street.
Upon the dissolution of the late firm Mr..
Hover, with the other members Of the new
firm, visitedth eastern cities and for cash
purchased one of the largest, if not the
largest, stock of Dry Goods ever brought to
this city. Not finding a convenient loca-
tion upon Superior street and believing that
our citizens were not so fastidious as to sup
pose that Superior was the only street where
a Dry Goods House could be located and
succeed, rented for a term of years one Of
the magnificent stores in the building re-
Gently erected by Marchand, at 124 Ontario
street. Their a~nticfpations have been more
than realized and to-day this firm is second
to nonei in this city in the magnitude oftheir
sales; and what was deemed by some a
hazardous location has proved q perfectsuc-
cess. The stock of this House is all fresh
and new, having been bought this fall, com,
prising everything usually found in Dry
Goods Houses, and for quality and style is
unsurpassed in this market.
We noticed very fine selection of Irish
Poplins, Merinos, and Plaid Goods and 8
beautiful assortment of Paisley shawls to-
gether with a very fine stock of Silks. In
deed we think we have never seen a fnel
assortment of rich Silks han they have
now on exhibition.
Their cloak department is under the
charge of Miss Wolcott, well known t
Cleveland ladies as possessing much ex,
pOrience and great taste in the manufacture
of this branch of ladies' apparel. Certainly
no lady will think of purchasing anything
in this line, in our city, until she has frs
consulted the good taste of Miss Woleott
and looked over the cloak Departmental thii
firm. We saw some styles there yesterday
which were really magnificent. The Messrs
Howers assure us that they intend to make
this branch of their business second to none
and the fact of their securing the services
of this lady is strong evidence Of their de
termination to merit the patronage of the
ladies of this city.
In this connection, we take pleasure il
saying that Mr.. John Lowther, who is vel
known to our readers as formerly with J. NJ
& H. T. Hover, on Superior street, is now
connected with the now establishment
His many friends will be pleased to learn
that he has engaged with this house, and We
can commend him to all as a most affablt
and courteous gentleman, and an efficieni
and honorable business man. He will be
happy to see his old friends at the new store
and all who know him are aware that he
will give them as good bargains as can be
had in the city.
In conclusion, we are assured by the
Messrs. Hover that they are constantly re-
c~eiving additions to their stock from thei1
agents in the East and whatever novelties
may appear in the Eastern markets will be
found on their counter The gentlemen
compos'HS inc hiul, edch anu all, are gOod
business men, fully prepared to cater to tn,
wants of cur citizens. Their previous higf
reputation and the eminent success with
which they have for years conducted bust
ness among us, speak more ~eloquently and
conclusively in their favor than any words
which we can say. Possessing, as they do
the confidence of our citizens, the mos
magnificent rooms in the city, together witt
a choice selection Of staple and fancy goods
their success Is certain,
