The question is repeatedly put to us, Why
do you patronize the editorial staff so exten-
sively? In reply we would say we are actua
sire to benefit everybody, and we know of nc
way in which we can do this so well as by
bringing our business to the notice of every
one, and thereby inducing them to come and
see us, and examine our goods and prices. 1t
is generally admitted among professional men
that every one feels better for good laugh oc-
casionally; and we hope, by blending amuse-
ment with instruction, to make the handsome
store-room known as No. 46 Twelfth Street,
attractive to all, and the stock of merehan-
die stored therein worthy an inspection. We
will in the future, as in the past, endeavor to
please the taste and occupy the leisure mo-
ments of our friends by presenting for their
perusal through the columns of the CHRoNI-
Gle, and all other prominent local papers,
rich, rare and racy items, interspersed with an
occasional squirt of Machine Poetry, and bring
to your notice the immense preparations made
from time to time to meet the wants of our
patrons, and also inform the citizens of Bel
mont county and vicinity, of the manner that
We do business, and what we have to offer
them in our line. Our system of marking all
Goods in plain selling figures. and asking but
be quite well known-but that we are the
only ones that conduct business on that plan
seems not to be fully understood as yet, al
though it is fact beyond controversy. None
of the establishments claiming to be one-price
clothing stores, can sustain their claims, for
they are known to deviate constantly, while
every man who has bought of us knows we
live strictly to our one price to all, and no
bantering. If there be one who denies this,
let him come forward and sustain himself, and
we are ready to give him our standing reward
of $780,
We are paying particular attention to the
manufacture of Gents Fine Clothing, for the
Fall and Winter Trade of 1876, and we
can confidently assert that in this line we will
have goods fully equal to frst-class custom
cork. The fact becomes more apparent every
season, that the public prefer good and well
made clothing, at fair price, to poor goods,
miserably made and trimmed, and sold Gas
well they can be), at a cheaper rate. The
buyers OF ready-made clothing are aware that
good Goods are the cheapest; therefore the in
creased demand for them, and it is, as mat
ter of course, more satisfactory to us as well
as to the customer, to sell only such clothing
as we can conscientiously recommend. Ev-
cry garment in our extensive stock is manu-
factured by or for us expressly for the retail
trade, and our many patrons can truly testify
that for durability, expressly as regards the
sewing, our goods are far superior to those
generally found in a ready made Clothing
Store The quality of the trimmings put in a
garment is also an important item, and we
take particular pains to make our Goods as
durable as possible in this respect. In fact,
our aim is to have our goods so well made and
trimmed, and to sell them at such figures that
any person patronizing us once, will be GER
tain to do so again. By adhering to this prin-
ciple, coupled with our fair and square ''One,
price system, we have succeeded in establish,
ing the leading Clothing House in West Vir'
ginia- 1t is unnecessary to say that we dc
not intend to deviate from this course in the
future, and we solicit the patronage of al
who desire to buy Goods under our motto Of
Truth, Honesty, and Fair Dealing.
