Vaporing and theory aside, the
only reliable test of merit, is, after
all, success. The French have tho
idea somewhat differently expressed
in the adagc that "Tho greatest sue
cess is success" Judged from this
stand point, the house of f. w. and
J. Hawlcy, jr., must be allowed to
have merit, since it was established
in 1913, and has been so steadily
growing and prospecting ever since,
that its founder, Mr.. James Hawley,
ST., has been able to retire with an
abundant competency, while his two
sons, Fred. and JIM, who have sue
coded, are likewise, We should Judge
from the amount Of their stock kept
constantly on hand, and the extent
of their trade, likely in duo time to
follow suit.
1t is something to DO said to the
credit of this firm, that they have,
by an honorable and liberal course
OF treatment, retained all tho custo-
mers who commenced trading with
the house over twenty years ago,
and who now stick to it closer than
a sick kitten to q warm brick.
They are temporarily in Leighton's
Block, opposite the Union Block, but
arc building a magnificent building on
the site of their old store, which they
will occupy early in the fall.
Meantime, they are offering the
trade one of the finest stocks OF
goods in the Des Moincs Valley, and
are giving special inducements in
Carpets, Summer Dress Goods, Black
Lace Shawls, and scasonable summer
goods, just received from eastern
cities.
