house is the center Of attraction among the peo.
pie Of fashion; it is also the favorite Of those
whose purses, or mode OF life, cause them to pre-.
fer the substantial TO the luxurics of life. Mr.
Gillen aims to suit his customers in every re
spect hence, for the stylish he purchases the
very bcS, and most elegant goods that can be
found in the eastern cities. He goes to the i'm.
portcrs and home Manufacturers and selects the
very newest and richest goods that money will
buy. His next effort is to select quality of
goods that are equally good and stylish but not
quite so expensive. These are for those of his
customers who select the durable combined with
the elegant, for such as deal closely and aim to
get the very best that can be bought on close
margin Mr. Gilen is content with small
profit, as his old customers for years well know
He believes in the motto of ga nimblc sixpcnce
being better than slow shilling" for the OBJ
yious reason that while practicing this rule,
money crculatcs freely, and old questionable
goods can never accumulate upon his hands i'm
fact he will not allow this last to happen. His
goods are bran new They come from the best
houses in the United States and to these houses
from the best manufactures in the world

or your sister, mother, wife or daughter, rs a
Christmas or New Years present. This stock is
immense, and comprises all that can be sought
for, and of a finer quality than you would expect
to find in Ottawa, at any establishment except
Mr. Gillen's.
Besides the stock Of dress goods, his assert.
ment of beaver, water proof and flannel goods
cannot be beaten or approached by any house in
this locality.
Recently there has been great decline in
domestics Mr.. Glen took advantage Of this,
and purchased tip top assortment, and there
fore can sell at prices below all previous figures
for some time past.
His line of ladies' and gents fancy scarfs are
more than splendid.
We have no room to enumeratG the different
