HOW TO BE WELL DRESSED.
Some Notes Upon the Improvement of
the Modern Beaus of
San Antonio.
The Local Means by Which They Can
Now be Well and Fashion
ably Attired.

As San Antonio advances there has been de-
veloping a desire upon the part of the citizen TO
dress WELL and in accordance with position and
standing, hence there is marked improvement
in the appearance of the y"ung man of the
period with those of former years. Those who
have visited New Orleans st. Louis or the prin-
cipal Northern cities have there seen the good
convenient and well-made articles of gents
clothing, and have made purchases which have
suited them remarkably well, melting the envy
and emulation of their fellows and have eX-
perienced not only the advantage of the dis
tingue appearance it gave them but also the
comfort gained by wearing them. Difficulties
however, lay i'm the way, because it necessitated
a personal visit to the Northern or Eastern
cities to refill the wardrobe, and this could not
always be conveniently made.
To meet this present demand of the citizens
MeSsrs. Sheets, COrroVOn Castles have taken
a store in the handsome Crockett block, upon
the Alamo plaza, and have there established u
fashionable gents furnishing store, which
they will open upon Saturday next, the 3lst
inst. The LIGHT commissioner paid the store
visit and found the prOprietOrs to be enter
prising and experienced business men, who are
Locating here. and who will spare no pains to
give satisfaction to the citizens and to supply
their wants. On examining their stock of gen
tlemen's furnishing goods, hats, boots shoes
and fancy goods, the commissioner was aston
ished at its extent, quality and novelty. The
goods were all bright and new, and in many
cases articles were exhibited that could not be
duplicated in any ciJy in the State. The stock
of boys clothing and goods is large, and
mothers who desire to dress their sons well can
not do better than visit the store. There can
be no doubt of one thing, Messrs. Sheets, Cor
rovon Castles can completely fit out the fas-
tidiOus Oscar Wilde or the ordinary business
man with equal facility, and at a reasonable
cost. The prOprietOrs are very civil, cOur-
teOuS business men, and will take pleasure in
showing the store and its contents to the
citizens.
The store itself deserves word of special
mention and is in itself an evidence of the Ell
terprise of the firm. Its decoration was not
quite completed when the commissioner called,
but he saw sufficient to please and to satisfy
him. On either side are beautiful nickel and
glass show cases mounted upon elegant walnut
tables, displaying variety of goods. There
are two long, handsome mirrors for visitors t.
examine the tit of their purchases, the floor
is Carpeted, and the whole has Il comfortable
convenient and elegant aspect, such as cannot
fail to attract visitors and induce patronage.
The LIGHT COngratulates the citizens upon
the location of such enterprising business meT
as MessrS. Sheets, COrreYOn & Castles, and wei
come them TO the city, being assured that they
viii do all in their power to give the public
satisfaction, and be worthy of the patronage
they seek and deserve to obtain. 1t would
recommend the citizens to call and satisfy
themselves as to MesSrs. Sheets, COrrevon
Castles claims for public support ana is quite
sure that they will be cOurteOusly received and
well treated.
