Tailoring Establishment.,
2GJHGJ JylcS Dts 5E}

1t always affords Il US the I greatest
pleasure to call public attention to the
business of our city, especially when
represented by such mammoth establish
ments as that OF Thomas Hughes mer-
chant tailoring house, on the corner OF
Monroe and Water streets. This i'm
mense establishment occupies nearly
half the block on Monroe street by
about eighty feet on Water street.
The first story is the salesroom'
Here are displayed the largest and
finest assortment ofpeice goods in West
Virginia, and there are few larger
stocks of goods, East or West. Here
are to be found English, French, Bel
gian, Austrian and American broad
cloth from the looms of the most cele'
brated makers in the world, and Of
finish, style and texture unequalled. NC
matter what shade or color you may
desire, here it is, if it is made. Here
the man of taste and fashion can selec
cloths wonderful in their glossiness
texture and superior finish and color
Here, also, are English, French and
Scotch cassimeres, Harris cassimeres
Eddy's and all the best American
makers; Scotch, French and English
diagonals, coatings and suitiDgs all o
the most fashionable patterns and col
ors, and unrivalled for their wearing
qualities. 49,
Look at these vestings. Are they no
beautiful? Here is a piece OF black
silk that may be matched against th'
world, thick as board and as pllabl'
as buckskin. Then look at these vel
vet vestings, these cashmeres, madl
lisees and ordinary silk vestlngs; arr
they not models Of elegance and o
style? The stock comprises everything
from the best and finest broadclotl
down to the heaviest English Melton
Beaver, Moscow, Esquimaux and Ely
sian overcoatings. Nothing that gen
tleman OF taste can possibly need in hi
outfit is wanting here.
The stock OF furnishing goods Is also
extraordinarily large and complete ant
comprises handkerchiefs, collars, draw
ers, undershirts, cravats, scarts, neck
ties, hosiery, Couvoisiers celebrated
gloves, the popular and fashionable
patent pantaloon draws, shirts of al
qualities, and, in fact, everything in th'
line of furnishing goods. ...
We have as yet spoken only OF TIT
lower story. In the second is the cut
ting department, presided over by thos'
noted workmen II. S. Richards, Goa
cutter, and Charles Beuter, pants an'
vest cutter. 1t is notorious that thes'
two gentlemen are unequalled in thei
ability to give person fits. 10 hav'
on a coat cut by Richards or vest 6
pants cut by Beuter is to be sure o
having a well.fitting, fashionably cut gar
ment. Mr.. Hughes has been very par
ticular in this department OF his estat
lishment and has not been content IN
til he could get the best cutters in tn
State.
Back Of the cutting room is tn
apartment where coats are made. Thu
is very large room and some iiItce,
or twenty hands are employed exclu
sively in making coats.
The third story is devoted to MAXIM
pantaloons and vests, and here bus
fingers throw out great quantities o
work every day, and in a manner tina
gives complete satisfaction.
To carry on the business Of this mon
ster establishment some eighty handsar
employed, each one of whom is fin
workman, knowing no superior in hi
or her department, 1t is perfect hiv
Of industry, running as.smooth as clock
work, and doing work promptly an
well. ....
There is one feature about Thoma
Hughes establishment that will com
mend itself to customers. Whenever
suit Of clothes is promised to be read.
on certain day, it is as certain a
taxes that the clothing will oe ready Oh
that day. Promptness, low prices, anC
well selected goods are the features O
this establishment.
To those of our readers who desir
fashionable and serviceable clothing
we recommend the merchant tailoring
establishment of Thomas Hughes, sat
is6ed that if they patronize him once h
has secured their custom forever.
