introduced in small lots into The stock
of general stores. Now, however, it has
become one of the leading branches of
commercial transactions, enabling the
public not only TO secure good goods and
latest styles, but excellent fits, at a
much less cost than the same articles
put up by merchant tailOTs. This fact
may be demonstrated any day by visit

located i'll the handsome new brick busi-
