dences of Messrs. Jos. L. Mcdaniel. William
Hunt, and Rev. i. X. Miller. The displays
were not large, but quite fine. A lot OF young
men congregated about Mr.. Ford's store
porch and handled fireworks recklessly. For
trnately the rain i'll the afternoon had
rendered things less combustible, or a fire
would have certainly been the result of such
carelessness.
Messrs. A. Gibney, Sylvester Gibney, Robert
Reedy, Jr., and William Dean, employees OF
the Mccullough Iron Company have gone ia
McKeesport, having secured work in an iron
mill there at greatly advanced wages. Rumol
has it that others will soon follow. Thie
exodus is owing to the uncertainty of and the
low wages paid for work by the company
here.

Clothing.

There is in Philadelphia
a clearinghouse that began
a good many years ago to
do a peculiar business. 1t
marked goods in plain fig
ures, and described them in
plain letters its prices were
absolute, its descriptions
we're true. People had full
knowledge of what they
were buying there, and yet
if afterward they were sorry
they had bought, they could
go back the next day and
exchange for something else,
or, if they liked, get their
money back. 1t was a safe
place to get clothes it was
a safe place to leave money.
People liked that house.
1t grew, and grew, and
grew, until it became a
great house. To-day it is
the largest clearinghouse
anywhere ; and it keeps up
the old practices : no secrets
about what its clothes are
made of, one price, and
the money back if the buy
er wants it. Of course, it
uses all grades of cloths
that are worth using, and
makes all grades of cloth
ing that are worth making;
for it serves all sorts of peo-
pie.
Those at all familiar with
Philadelphia already know
that we are speaking of
OAK HALL, the original of
the WANAMAKER STORES.
There has been great i'm
provement in ready-made
clothing in nineteen years !;
and OAK HALL has taken
the lead equally in econ
omy, reliability, and rapid
ity of production in the
quality of finished work !;
and in the development of
a method of business hav-
ing for its first object the
satisfaction of customers.
1t is worth your while to
know that you, whoever and
wherever you are, can get
your clothing to better adj
vantage there than any
where else. If too far
away to go, write. You
will receive in reply samples
Of cloths, and prices of
ready-made suits from them,
with a diagram and instruc-
tons for measuring. The
rest is plain. .=....
