An Idea

|An lO6d
In regard to Clothing may
not be amiss at this season
and the better it is the more
likely you will take to it.
Although some merchants
believe the time to make
profits is only the present
yet we look just as much at
the future, and endeavor to
prove to our customers that
they are to be benefited in
every transaction equally as
much as ourselves. How will
we do this? Clothing, like
everything else (material not
considered), is made in SO
many ways that prices vary
even in the same goods
This can be accounted for in
the trimmings and make-u p
both matters Of no small i'm
portanCe to take into COnsld-
Grafton when selecting your
winter purchases. In order
to place before our custom
ers such clothing only as we
can fully recommend,w we have
not only kept our entire
force of hands together dur
ing the dull season, but have
a stock of ready-made gar
which is far superior
to oordinary clothing. By max
ing our own goods, we also
make it an inducement for|
good hands to work for us
by giving them steady work
all the year. We cordially
invite you to examine our
stock, take into consideration
trimming, make and style,
and we will leave the matter
of prices entirely with your
Judgment. For boys and
children, we are prepared to
show an unusually large as
sortment of all the latest
styles, properly cut,well trim
med and nicely made.
