IL year. In this time his garments have
found their way to almost every part OF
Berkeley and jefferson Counties.
The success Of his business has been,
considering the times, almost without a
parallel. His great aim has been to sell
GOOD CLOTHING, and at uniformly
low profit. He has been dealing in the
Goods of such men as Wanamaker &
Brown of Philadelphia, and Harris of the
same city. These are the princes in the
Clothing trade.
Mr.. n. has salts Of almost every quail
ty and price, at prices for entire suits

prices found in Clothing House.
He has also a special feature in his busi-
ness-an order department. He has an
almost endless variety Of Samples from
which to select suit or single garment.
He has adopted Wanamaker's rule of
guaranteeing satisfaction and every gar
ment must be to the mind of the purchas-
or. This feature of his business has been,
like his ready-made trade, decided sue
cess. He aims in this part of his trade to
combine the excellence Of home work
with the cheapness of ready-made.
