Public benefactors have distinguished them
selves in various wsys-yet each equally merit
the approval of society. Some have achieved
distinction by their munifcence-some by
their inventive genius-and yet others by
their ability to grapple with great social prob
lens, the the solution of which has shed broad
cast important advantages in society without
respect to persons or position It is to the lat
ter class We are about to refer, and in which
we feel fully justified in prominently advanc-
ing the familiar name of WILLIAM MABLEY-
"the popular one price clothier" Of Toledo-a |
gentleman whose energy, enterprise aud |
shrewd business capacity has secured for him |
that distinction of public patronage which in
four years has justified him in assuming the |
conduct of his present leviathan establish |
ment at l69 and III Summit street. Its in
terror dimensions is 1lOx4O feet, It is lit with
over 40 burners, and has a plate glass frontage |
equalled only by one other store in the city |
But our main object is to afford the reader
some idea how excellently the business is run
what intending visitors may expect to find,
and how unanimous the entire corps of assist
ants Gssiduously strive to carry out the excel |
lentprecepts Of their principal. Commencing
Mr.. J. P. Hicks-who politely directs you
to any department, we need hardly attempt to
describe his proficiency in those duties when
it is known that eleven years experience has
possessed him of every necessary quality to |
fill his Office with the utmost advantage to
visitOrs-while his genial manner is most en-
ioyable and assuring to those who are unac-
customed to conducting purchases. Having
arrived at
THE CUSTOM DEPARTMENT
we met Mr.. E. L. Graves and Mr.. James
D. Thomas, the former gentleman being the
very essence of pOliteness and attention in the
capacity of salesman, with splendid and
fashionable assortment Of materials at hand
he having diligently and successfully applied
himself in the interests of this firm for the
past three years. Mr.. Thomas is chief cutter,
and has studied American fashions and fol-
lowed his profession in this country over
twenty years-having acting in that capacity
for many years (previous to coming to Mr..
Mabley) with Mr.. Geo. Shelton, of Toledo.
He is, indeed, an adept with the shears, and
his past popularity in this city has rendered
Thomas the pass word to fine fitting suits
in whatever society you may move. Turning
attention to
THE READY-MADE SUITS DEPARTMENT
we find Mr.. John McKenna officiating, sur
rounded with the best grades of made up ma
terials. Finer articles need not be desired,
and our only surprise was to find so excellent
a salesman assigned to dispose of them. What
Mr.. Mex. is deficient in this department it
would be very little advantage to know, and
his whole energies are thrown into his calling.
He is ably assisted by Mr.. Holloway, who is
also admirably adapted to his position. The
cheaper grades of suits are arranged in a sep
arate department and under the able super
vision of Mr.. W. Dobson, who with an expe-
rience Of some eight years, will be found un-
questionably the right man in the right place,
and exceedingly accommodating. Better
statesmen than he are exceedingly scarce.
THE PANTS STOCK
is also consigned a special department, in ex-
tent almost store in itself, Mr.. W. G. Cath
cart having charge of it. Mr.. c. is call there
nothing is trouble to him-patienco ap-
pears his leading virtue, and so long as you
are pleased he is happy. Only give him half
a chance to supply your wants and you are
breeched TO your satisfaction, whatever you
may want, and not moment is wasted in the
operation. Once try him.
THE YOUTHS AND oHLDREN's DEPART
HENF
is the special province assigned to our former
Fremont fellow citizen, Mr.. ]. II. Reed, whose
gentlemanlyand cheerful attentions are known
among us as admirably seconding his ability
in recommending and securing the utmost
confidence of customers. He has splendid
line of goods and is selling them to- Call and
see him.
THE FURNISHING GOODS DEPARTMENT
occupies the center of the store and is very
extensive, fashionable and well arranged, be-
ing presided over by Mr., Allen Manchester,
assisted by Mr.. Peter La Tour, to whom it
does great credit. Mr.. Manchester is quite a
favOrite with the swells and is a frst-elass
hand at "rigging them OUT in the best of style
at cheap rate-Mr. La Tour slso rendering
most competent and Obliging service to the
many customers in this department.
Mr.. G. W. Mabley fills the capacity of cash
ier, and in that position evidences much of
the excellent business capacity and ability
which has characterised the successful career
of his worthy pater-hs being efficiently as
sisted by Mr.. VIM. Kohler.
Mr.. VIM. Mabley is daily in constant atten-
ton to the general supervision of the business
himself, but We have the greatest satisfaction
in cougratulating him on one of the finest
teams Of assistants we ever met with-aII pull
ing with equal energy in tho one direction
all equally attached their 10 prinoipal-and the
utmost geniaIity and candor animating the
countenance of each one. No wonder the
Leviathan Store prospers. Reader call and
jadge for yourselves profit viii certainly re- +
ward your discretion.
