any business should have grown durin
The past few years Of general shrinkag
and hard times, but we are assured on ur
doubted authority that Messrs. Straw
bridge & Clothier's business is far large
than before the panic Of 1878, and is stead

tsblishment and observing the smooth an
systematic manner in which immeni
quantities Of goods are distributed, an
