Geo. Innes & Co.. next to the pos.office.
This firm opened here on the 18th of Novem-
Der three years ago an now is one of the
largest and most successful houses in the
West. The secret o; their great success is
their system of square dealing. Their Gus
toners always rely upon their word. No
misrepresentation or humbuging is practised
by them. Everything is square and fair.
Their polteness and attention to customers
has made them very popular with every one.
The house Of Geo. lines & Co., of Lawrence,
Kansas, with the one here, compels them to
keep buyer constantly in the market which
enables them to take advantage of every turn
in the market, and to keep supplied with all
the latest novelties in the trade. They have
an immense horse shoe over the door which
will no doubt bring ,oc good luck.
