BUSINESS AND PERSONAL.
L. j. Strouse. of this city. will be in
New York on Saturday next, and will
return in a few weeks with finely
assorted stock of Clothing and piece goods
for the Fall trade. Strouse is thorough
merchant, knows goods both in their
qualities and values he will give good
bargains to all old and new customers.
Selecting goods is half the battle in mer-
camille trade, and L. j. has the reputation
of beineamong the closest examiners and
buyers who visits New York and Phila-
delphia.
A. B. Pearsall, of the Mcconnell 4 Co.,
firm Of this city, has reached home with
the largest stock of Eastern purchases
ever exhibited to dealers in Harness,
Leather, Shoe-fn dings and other goods in
their line, that North Iowa has ever
shown. "Lon." took time to hunt up
just such material as western men want
to buy, either for retail trade or make up.
The McGregor firm will duplicate all
Chicago houses in price, and guarantee
each article, as represented, at the store.
The fairness in deal of S. M. Mcconnell
& Co., is SO we'll known, that farther com.
mendation is not necessary. We know
they have the best Of stocks. s,-
Our namesake of the O'Brien family,
has beat the council. He wanted COW
ering for his salt, lime, and other coarse
goods, the Council forbid the building of
a tiame--PAr set up few columns Of
brick rooted the columns to keep out the
weather, and thus complied with the Law.
PAr's "brick house" is all he wants in
addition to the ample room he requires in
his rapidly-increasing business.
II. L. Erickson, Boot and Shoe ma
ker, opposite the Murray House, is doing
as good work as is done in the city. He
is now cast for stock, and on, return, will
be prepared with facilities in material, and
with first-class workmen to do work
promptly to the hour of promise, in as
good style as good pay will offer. Your
custom, fellow citizens of McGregor and
vicinity, is respectfully asked for. |

agree to make it. If not as represent it,

VIM. Eibell has purchased one>half the
Brick Blacksmithery recently occupied
by John Harrison, and he viii continue
the business as Harrisons successor.
EIBELL is a splendid Shoe-ist as we learn
.fnp his old customers at National and his
ones hereabouts. In addition to
looking carefully after the feet of your
horses, he will repair wagons, plows, or
other iron and steel farming tools of all
kinds. Mr.. E. needs no extra praise or
puff: his long residence in the County,
and his satisfactory work in every respect
should be enough to secure him living
patronage. This is all he asks. Bring
