The recent depression in business has
enabled the enterprising firm of L. A

usually large purchases in Black eros Grain
Silks on exceedingly favorable terms,

This is what Racine paper says is be-

prince of Milwaukee, who has the largest
retail establishment in the country, and
whose customers number up among the
thousands from all parts of Wisconsin and
adjoining States. So complete are the bus.

seen Milwaukee receive just as good
bargains as though they made their selec-

Milwaukee carries samples of silks, dress
goods, etc, bearing their one and invaria-
bic price, to his patrons who make their
selections, and in no one instance do they
ever receive anything not fully up to the
sample. 1t is no wonder, with such hon
orable dealing, that he should have the
confidence and esteem of State, and be
able to build up business second to none
in that State For seUenteen gears Mr.
Chapman has lived right in Milwaukee, ant
by good, honest work, guided by a goot
business head, has had the proud satisfac

MEDICAL ADvERTIsING.-Th medical
profession are out-spoken in their denun-
citation of the system of medical advertis-
ing, and declare that any medicine that is
advertised is fraud. How thoroughly in
consistent and unfair is such an argument.
The men who are so loud in their criti-
cisms, are those who advertise themselves
as medical suuans by ostentatious display !;
splendid residences with massive door
plates fast horses and costly carriages.

conscientious independence, dares to differ;
and having discovered in his VINEGAR

$4,000, and receive from Mr.. Brown ST.
200; annual loss to the city, 1900.
Mr. Browns proposition does not con-
template that he will repair anything but
the roadway of the road and bridges The
main bridges would be kept up by the city
as they are now. Taking into account the
repairs only, and not the permanent re-
building of any bridges, the city receives an
income OF about $1,000, nearly seven per
cent. OF the entire cost OF the road and
bridges, and the repairs. 1t these bridges
are to be regarded as merely a source of
revenue, the city could not afford to lease
them for less than $1,000 per annum, if
she were obliged to keep the permanent
piers and trusses in repair. Besides the
above objections to Mr.. Browns offer, there
