VARIOUS important rumors emanate
from Washington almost every day
Among the more important are those
regarding the recommendation to be
made in the forthcoming report of the
Secretary of the Treasury in reference
to the silver currency. 1t is said that
the contraction caused by the with
drawal of the 81 and 81 bills has re
suited in demand for silver that has
far exceeded Mr.. Sherman's expecta-
tions, and that in view of this he will
recommend the permanent retirement
of the small notes and the coming OF
800, 100000 of silver.
There is no telling what Mr.. Sher-
man may do. But it would seem that
there was no great need for coming
more silver dollars to horde away in
the treasury.

purpose of beating Counsellor Sharp

There is in Philadelphia clothing house which has no
double in all the world. The world is full of clothing
houses and it is good deal to say that is unlike all the
First in dealing; and it surprising that house
should suffer much from another Selling clothing is so
simple matter, that it Is likely would suppose, to be
done very much the way Philadelphia, New York,
and London But Philadelphia is ahead and curousy
enough house Philadelphia ahead of all the rest
To be ahead in dealing is to deal a higher plan,
liberal way, give the buyer well founded
confidence without loss of the merchants safety This
Pha clothing house says a stranger awe want to deal
with justice. We want what belongs to fair
profit and want you to have what belongs to you vz
liberal moneys worth Our way arrive at this result is to
price on everything sell, which price is absolute
and let you buy what you like, go away and think the bar
gain over, and and trade back; you want to- We
find by experience that this hberay harmless Of
you like it, And makes quick and ready dealing
We don't You to bring back what you buy it would
cost money every time but would rather you would
bring back than keep what you don't like. So, try to
that you get at first what you will like the BETTER the
more you know it, This really the whole philosophy of
dealing. Is any wonder that other clothing house
in this city, New York, London, deals in the
way?
Second, IN its goods-the amount and variety of them
There other houses where excellent clothing kept and
great deal of but there none anywhere that keeps
much The dealing related above has the largest
trade the world has yet To supply such trade great
quantity and variety of clothing required and these
in increase the trade, because everybody likes to
choose out of many things, rather than out of few
This is the country of ready-made clothing Great
Britain makes the of any European country but there
is not in all London any clothing business quarter large
that of Oak Hall New York has several large clothing
businesses but nearly equal to that of Oak Hall
