CLOTHING!

Though we aim always to give our
very best and closest attention to the
purchasing of all the goods for our many
departments, yet there are some kinds
of goods which sometimes require a
little extra scrutiny and carefulness in
their selection, i'll order to get the best
and most desirable. Nothing requires
this more than clothing. There is so
much shoddy goods sold as g all wool, y
and so much poorly made, ill-fitting
stuff in the markets that buyers have to
be exceedingly careful and particular in
making their purchases to get the full
worth OF their money. We have always
endeavOred to give to our customers the
:" best goods at the least possible prices y
This is the secret of our success, and in
order to carry it out, we have given, if
possible, even more than our ordinary
amount of carefulnesS and attention to
this branch Of our business, of which
we are now writing, viz. Clothing.
Our purchases were made direct from
some Of the largest, best and most reli-
able manufacturers in New York, BoS-
ton and Philadelphia. Every article
was carefully inspected by the senior
member of the firm, assisted by one of
our most experienced statesmen, with a
view to quality, make, fit and style,
which, we feel, justifies us in saying that
we believe we have one of the choicest,
handsomest and most desirable stocks
of clothing for Men, Youths and Boys
ever offered to the people of Delaware
and Eastern Maryland Our stock is
large and of great variety in style, price
and size, so that none, large OF small,
old or young, rich or poor need go away
disappointed. The following small list
will give slight idea (only), of some of
our goods:
Mems Cashmere Suits, all sizes,
from 81. 80 to $1,000
Youths . . 400 to 1900
Boys and Childrens' " 200 to 500
We cannot undertake to mention all.
We most cordially invite all who want
clothing to come and see us. We will
do you good.
