BANNER BROTHERS.

Familiar as a household word Is the
name which heads this item. It is a
name only become so, however, within
the past four years In this particular
section yet It is a decidedly popular
one. Indeed, 1t is scarcely four years
since the Banner Brothers opened their
first stock Of clothing at Virginia city,
and inaugurated the system of low
cash prices and small profits, which
caused the famous "clothing war as
the immediate result. All the other
dealers combined could not possibly
crush them out the great public was
on their side to sustain them, and 1t
has sustained them triumphantly ever
since. Their success was based upon
true business merit, therefore 1t could
not help continuing. Liberal, upright,
and eminently square in all their deal
ings, they inspired confidence from the
very first; confidence which ever has
and ever will remain with them. They
aimed to take the lead in the clothing
business, and they most certainly have
succeeded. Their mammoth establish
ment at the corner OF c and Taylor
streets, Virginia, Is we'll worthy a visit
from all admirers of good business
arrangements, and the true systematic
management noticeable in every de-
partment. 1t is no shoddy concern by
any means. Huge piles Of clothing Of
every description, from the very finest
worn by heightened gentlemen, to the
more serviccable and substantial re-
Quired by the miner, mechanic or
laborer, are there stacked up In bound
less profusion and variety, while the
countless shelves are heavily laden
with everything in the shape of gents
furnishing goods, underwear, and all
that sort Of thing. Owing to the i'm
mense and continual increase Of pub
lie patronage they have recently been
obliged to enlarge and extend their
establishment by occupying also the
second floor OF their big building, GUST
ing other occupants for the purpose.
The second floor is set apart as the Gus
tom clothing department, and q broad,
handsome flight Of stairs leads to 1t
from the lower story. Here Is found a
grand display Of the finest clothing,
such as the princes and potentates Of
the earth might we'll be proud to array
themselves in, e. to pure silk under
shirts, worth SA each, which never
wear out, or fancy embroidered socks,
which 1t were almost q sin to put upon
ones feet. Here, constantly employed,
is n first-class merchant tailor, fitting
clothing to order, or making any posi-
bly, required alterations, so that no
customer has any excuse for not being
properly suited or fitted. Here, too,
can be found all varieties of trunks and
valises, from the huge, a%rlstocratic,
Saratoga trunk OF pure leather, copper
fastened, and containing lots of con-
venient compartments, to the ordinary
plebeian hand-trunk or valise. But
we need not p~articulariZe further, rs
the public can read the fine, we'll
written descriptive advertisement In
another column, or still better, visit
Banner Brothers establishment. The
managers are all gentlemen, and the
clerks and statesmen also. You will be
shown through the house with pleas
ure, and be fully allowed to Inspect
both goods and prices, regardless Of
whether you desire to purchase or not.
Their goods are all of the very best,
and their prices the very cheapest; you
may be assured Of that.
