The return of Mr.. Fiske, of the old house OF
FIsKE Il BEEN, "a and 20 Madison ST., in this
city, is always an event in the clothing trade.
To their thousands of customers it is a date OF
no little Importance, waiting as they do before
buying until the house has announced the ar

as a buyer has not failed him this year in making
selections; and the size Of the stock shows that

and can fit any one from Barnum's Giant to a
two. year old boy. The styles of fabrics are I'M

has solved the problem of show to clothe the
