III. Franks Square Dealing
Oue-Price Clothing Store.

Tonight our citizens are 10 nave
great treat in the opening OH. Franks
One Price Square Dealing Clothing
House at No. 40 Monroe street, next
door to the corner of Market, and we
know they will take advantage OF the
opportunity thus offered to purchase
resdv-made clothing at lower price
than the same quantity Of goods were
ever offered before in Wheeling.
One of the great advantages offered
BY this store is that when purchaser
wishes to buy an article he finds the
nr;ce marked on it in plain figures, and
he knows it can be purchased Tor that
sum and nothing less and nothing
more There is no asking two prices
with the expectation Of being required
to fall at least half the price. Every
article is marked with its price and the
poorest man in the city as we'll a. the
richest must pay that price it they
would possess the article.
Another plan of the store is cash on
delivery. This is the proper system on
which to do business. Goods can De
sold cheaper, because in a cash trans
action there is no intssesrto be added
to the cost Of thsafticle purchased and
no bad debts to be provided against.
So much in commendation and explaue
alton OF the system adopted: ,-a,~--s
Some persons hsrs'ottained the idea
that Mr.. Frank has come among US
to stay a month or two, and that he
will then close at auction and leave the
civ This is a mistake. He has rented
the store of Moses McLane for five
vears and intends to become citizen OF
Wheeling. He is live business man
one who understands the advantages OF
7adverasing AID keeping his, goods be-
fore the people, and who intends to
avail himself Of those advantages.
His stock,of goods is very large and
includes all varieties OF gentlemen :
furnishing goods and rea iy-made
clothing. He can sell you a suit OF
clothes for five dollars or he can sell
YOU one for seventy.fve dollars, but in
either case the purchaser knows exactly
what be is buying and whathe has to
pay for it. If the buyer desires an
oyercoat, for instance, he can buy one
for five dollars or he can get one that
| will cost twenty-five, but he is not
charged ten dollars for the five dollar
article nor forty dollars for what can
be bought for twenty-five.
The stock Of furnishing goo]s is the
largest in the city, and includes every
thing and style a gentenrrH can desire.
Here he can buy paper collars at ten
cents a box or three. boxes for quar-
ter, or he can get them for forty cents
per box. Here, too, undershirts are
offered at from forty cents each to three
dollars; hose from one dollsr,~a dozen
| to the bests British make; suspenders at
from twenty 6ve~cents per pair to two
dollars; Cardigan jackets from 81 rs to
$500. Among the many varieties of
drawers, we noticed the anti-rheumatic
draw ers, which are highly recommended
by physicians.
A finer stock Of clothing has never
been brought to Wheeling, and it liz Of
tered at prices that must commend 1t to
all who wish to repIenish their ward
robe. The poorest man in the city can
here tit himself ont with good articles
of clothing and at such prices as he
may wish to. pay for them. Pantaloons
can be bought at from seventy five cents
per pair to nine or ten dollars. There
is nothing, in fact, thata man can want
no matter what his station or mean9,
but he can find it here.
Such an establishment has long been
needed here. The one-price system
has so many evident advantages which
commend themselves to all who exam
| inc into the matter that we do not deem
| it necessary to discuss them, while the
advantages Of the cash system are so
| many, especially where lower rates are
obtained for cash, that all who wish to
buy should avail themselves OF it.
We commend the establishment OF
Mr.. Frank to our readers. He has all
they can possibly desire, and at lower
prices than they can be bought for any
where else in Wheeling. If you want
bargains always patronize a man who
is not afraid to advertise. He is sure
to have superior article and is not
afraid to invite your examination and
criticism. He knows he can please
you in regard to quality aud price, and
asks your custom. 1t is always safe to
deal with such men. Go tonight to
see the opening, examine the goods and
learn the prices. Our word for it. you
viii be delighted.
