That Model Meat Market,

Our prediction last week that Sam. Dreifuss
new meat market would make the finest display
of choice meats ever seen in Ottawa, has been
more than verified, as can be fully tested by a
look through the new shops, on La Sale street
opposite the Opera House. The opening Of the
new place was this morning, where crowds OF
people were in attendance, selecting their choice
roasts and fancy selections for tomorrow. Mr..
Dreifuss has determined to procure for his Of
tawa retail markets only the very best of beef,
pork, veal and mutton that can be found in the
country, and to have no other kind. To secure
the best, he will pay good prices, and sell at the
lowest living prices.
Now that he has the finest meat market stand
in the city, he is determined to keep for sale the
choicest of meats.
AS a new feature, he has had manufactured Il
handsome butchers delivery wagon, which will
daily make the rounds of the city, delivering
meat to customers, regular and transient, at shop
prices. BY this means he will save our people
the drudgery of trudging through mud or snow,
wind or Geld, and deliver meat at everyone's door.
BY all means call and patronize the new shop
and see how you will like its arrangements.

Choice Meats.
1t is not often that we are treated to taste OF
thoroughbred beef even in an Ottawa market,
yet to-day the patrons of the Degen Bros, at
their market, corner of La Sale and Madison
sts, will make their Saturdays purchases from
thoroughbred beef, and dine on Sunday from
the finest meat ever offered to an Ottawa pub
lie. This is but one manifestation of the pur-
pose of the Degens to keep this old market up
to its pristine place in the thoughts OF the peo.
pie and make it to their interest to trade there
only In addition they, of course, have always
on hand no end of other meats-mutton, veal,
pork, hams, sausage, &C.; also game in season
when procurable; and their customers will find
it o pleasure to deal with their new hand,
McFadden, whose long experience will be q
guarantee of choice bits when he chooses them.
This is the old reliable market of the city, older
than many of our memories, and never was 1t
managed in better style than now, nor h ad a
larger trade.
