SCOTT, HOUTz & CO.
Next claim our attention for a sew moments,
and we know of no firm we thus bring into no.
tice with more pleasure. Among our business
men their names are synonyms of success. They
have the largest stock and sell more goods than
any other firm in their line of trade in La Sale
county. This has proved to be SO by actual COM
parison, and our people may be proud of having
SO live business firm in our city. They don't
fall asleep selling dress pattern, not bit of it.
They are wide awake, as are all of their clerks
and always ready with smiling countenances to
show anything they have in the way of goods.
They believe in using printers ink, too, and
rlghtfully attribute much of their success to the
use OF it. Their stock consists exclusively of
dry goods, and as they make this their exclusive
business they are enabled to do better by every
customer than il they dealt in little of every
thing. Their stock includes plain and fancy
dress goods, white goods corsets. hoop skirts,
hosiery, gloves, laces, g., &C., all of which they
are selling at prices so low that none can keep
from buying when they have the stamps. Their
we'll known seamless kid gloves are the pride of
their lady customers, and the fine linens and
other goods are imported direct from the foreign
factories, enabling them to sell them at prices
that astonish their brother merchants. Like
thousands of others this firm have ascertained
that the cash system is the only one doing Justice
alike to merchant and customer, and have made
it an inviolable one. 1t requires no ordinary
skill and taste TO select stock which shall NEE,

abundant evidence that they do possess the taste
and skill necessary, and they convert what is or

the general estimation in which they are held by
the people Of the whole community Yet we

the best assorted stocks Of hard ware. cooking and
Nesting stoves, table and pocket cutlery, builders

of the many to be assigned fer their large
and increasing trade.
