Never, in the history OF Wheeling,
was there such q popularity attained
by a merchant IN the short space Of one
year as that OF II. Frank. His name
is household word for miles and miles
around. A little more tbaa year
ago Was band promenaded the
streets OF Wheeling. discoursing sweet
music in an open carry.all. carrying
placards on each eide announcing the
opening OF II. Franks One Price Cloth
ing Hall at 40 Monroe street, which
was duly opened September Q, 1872
with large and well selected stock Of
fine custom made clothing.

but he had to enter the arena against
old established firms. But the appar-

Thus customers are Tree nom the

necessary to sustain the credit system.
In short it is Mr.. Franks greatest
pleasure to give all who favor him with
a call, cheerfully and unasked, every
concession possible, and the Ut
most value OF their ready money, not
as favor but as right that every
purchaser is justly entitled to. BY ex-

In what we have said We have giyer
