A REMOVAL THAT is INTERESTING TO ALL.

We venture the statement that there is not an In
habltant Of Stark county but what believes as we
d. that even merchants, as well as clergymen or
professional men, should practice what they preach.
A merchant that endeavors to sell his customers
clothing under the ONE PRICE rule, that was estab-
lshed by his predecessor In the storeroOm that he
now occupies, and then allows customers to beat
him down from the original price asked, Is truly
sailing under false colors and does not practice what
he breaches It Is an indisputable fact that Sam
GunEberg wss the originator Of the zone Price syS
tenn" and that the lowest in the city, and 1t 10 also
well known fact that he still adheres to 1t and carries
the best selected stock Of Gents, Youths and Boys
