CLOTHING HOUSES.
MORRIS L. LEVI.
This name has become so familiar to
our people, the sound of it naturally di
reefs our minds towards our clothing to
see if they bear the imprint of his popular
house, ana its fashionable make. Be
sides the usual clothing store, they have
tailoring establishment attached, where
you can have anything made to order il
you cannot find it in the mammoth stocl
below. Morris store, is the two-story
brick on the southwest corner square, tho
lower floor of which is piled and crammet
with goods of all kinds and grades, from
the cheap working suit, to the shining
broad-cloth wedding outfit. The upper
floor is used as tailor-shop where com
peten workmen preside. In the store
room you will find gentlemanly clerks pre-

ton. We can remember when Morris
started here, in little room "around thu
corner" with only handful OF
goods, but with fair dealing he ha!
stepped steadily upward, until he stands
as mentioned above, one of our merchant
princes.
l.. A. SCOTT & Co.,
occupy the Montgomery room, south side
second door east of southwest corner
where ready-made clothing of every grade
furnishing goods, valises, overcoats, etc.
may be found in every variety and Amos
unlimited quantity. l.. A. Scott is tai

reason, (nobodys business but his own
preferred merchandising to pleading at tn,
bar, and now he can give you "shoost {
fit as well as any one we know. The "6
Co." of that firm is Rev J. F. Childs, an
old resident, and prominent divine in t h.
Baptist church, who sticks to his pulpl
and text, while l.. A. sells the goods. TIL,
firm is good one and strong one, ant
their stock sells the more readily from be

building, erected especially tor the bus
