Tailoring and Clothing.

While there has been some over -dolng in the
clothing and tailoring business in the city, and
break downs, failures and changing OF hands
have been too common, WILL. TRADING has gone
on in the even tenor of his way doing safe and
prosperous business. The secret OF his success
lies mainly in his manufacturing department.
While no establishment keeps better assert
ment of ready. made clothing, Trabing himself
is one of the best practical cutters and tailors in
the west, and thus relieved from the heavy OK.
pcnsc of hired cutter, he is able to manufac.
turc at rates and in style which never fail to
please his customers. His stock of piece goods
is large and strictly first class, and when he
agrees to make a man suit he can always rely
not only on perfect fit, but on a guaranteed
quality Of goods. For good work and good
goods, you can always depend on TRADING. No.
