THE PEOPLE ASK TT AND
THEY MUST HAVE 1T.

having been solicited by numerous friends of
staunton and vicinity to open first class
HOuse-Furnishing Establishment

nation to please the people, and have therefore
leased the splendid store room of James A. Pr
per, on New street, near Virginia Hotel, and are
now opening very superior assortment of
CARPETS, MATING, WALL PAPERS.
CURTAINS, &C..

to be able to meet any demand however largo or
small. They will keep for sale, also. Mirrors.
from the costliest to the cheapest, Gilt Mould

UPHOLsTERING AND PAPER HANGING,
business having employed for this purpose. Mr..
GEORGE W. HEwETT one of the most finished and
superior workmen in the United States They
will, also, do all kinds of Furniture Repairing.
such as re-seating sofas. chairs, &c.
Having been induced to enter into this new
business from the expressed wish of many of Ca
briel Hirsh's old friends and customers and the
conviction that the increasing demands of our
growing population require it, they expect to be
literally encouraged.
Their charges will be moderate and just. They
want nothing FOR what they do not give the

in their expectations to have first class House
of this kind, where the wants of our peonle ip
