A MOVE INTME RIGHT DIRECrION,
A number of RoZeman merchants q

number of HoZeman merchants are
beginning to sec the necessity Of so modi-
flying their business as TO contine them
selves strictly tc one Or two lines or classes
Of gooIS. Heretofore it has been the Gus
to.h OF most Of them to keep general as
sortment Of merchandise, including gro
ceries. dry goods. clothing, queensware,
hardware. and boots and shoes. The result
il. that it is impossible to find a complete
assortment OF goods ut any one house in
town. Besides. il is unreasonable to sup
pose that any business man can keep fully
posted in regard to the demands and mar
ket values Of all the different lines and
classes of goods required in large COM
We are informed that Lester S.
Wilson has determined to make some very
important changes in this regard, and here
after will continc his business to that Of
boots and shoes. clothing. hats and caps
and furnishing goods, exclusively. He has
already ordered early spring shipments by
Express. and intends to start East soon in
order to personally select and purchase an
extensive stock of goo Is for this market in
he lines above indicated.
This is certainly a mo We in the right di-
cotton. Our town has now assumed such |
that the bus. ness interests are
efficiently large and inn ortant to Justify
more definite classification of goods and
'ares. and more gene. al attention to
cecialties.
