LACES.

Not every day are lace counters filed with buy
ers. They would be, if every lady knew two facts,
viz, first that We have the newest and choicest Of
laces of every grade second that sell them below
the market
The difficulty is that every merchant says the same
two things and you don't think very saucy to doubt
just little because advertising does paint things too
rosy sometimes
We much desire yeu to find out how careful we are
To say exactly what we mean. neither more less.
For example. to-day torchOn at 10 cents. which
sells everywhere else for 20 cents about How do
know? Why sold it ourselves for Is cents last
week. Not one in hundred of our regular custo-
merS knows how we crowd prices down. How can
we expect others TO believe that our policy Is low
prices. when almost every merchant studies how to
keep them up?
AS to assortment what do you suppose we do with
nine lace cOunterS2 Why. there is no such stock in
Philadelphia. We have thousands Of dollars worth
of fine laces shnt up in boxes. We have very poor
facilities for exhibiting them but shall surprise
you If you ask TO see them.

Happy may Meridian be in this new

of two engines, one hand and one
steamer, the latter as fine piece of

an organization worthy of the

it would not be to any other city of the

efficient Fire Department in this city
would induce capitalists to invest in

reducing the rates of insurance materi-
