ITHIEL STONE, the enterprising carpet
merchant Of Cleveland, is the first mer-
chant in that city that thinks it worth
while to call the attention, OF the citizens
of this section, to his new goods for spring.
Finding his store too small for his in
creasing business, he has recently added
over 5000 square feet of floor which will
enable him to show his goods to much bet
ter advantage and gives him room for a
large increase of stock. - ....
Every style and quality of Carpet from
Hemp to Moquette, can be found in
his stock and his increased facilities ought
to give him large increase OF business.
He promises extra inducements to out
oT-town customers. AT 2l5 Superior st.

this occur, don't blame the "boys' for be
