A REMOVAL THAT IS INTERESTING TO ALL.

We venture the statement that there Is not an In

do, that even merchants as well clergymen or
professional men should practice what they preach.
A merchant that endeayors to sell his customers
clothing under the ONE PRICE rule, that was estab
lthed by his predecessor In the storeroOm that he
nov 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 lndisputable fact that Sam
Gunzberg wGs the originator Of the zone Price Sys-
tenn" and that the lowest, in the city, and 1t 10 also

party that does not practice what they preach.
