NJ. Hoffman,, the wholesale liquor mer-
chant, has one Of the prettiest calendars for

We are always delighted to see our whole
sale merchants prosperous, but it gives us es-
pecial pleasure to look over the order book of

state.
While Others are "closing out" il should be
remembered that s. Loewenlhal is selling
goods as low as anybody, but it is only so
that he can remove TO larger and more COM
modious quarters. He is one of the most
successful ury good merchants in the West.
