GRAND OPENING AT TORRISON'S

orally asked: "Is there demand for such
store and will o. 7. get suitable stock TO fill
il OF viii he scatter few goods around loose
ly on the shelves ?" These questions can be
| answered best by personal inspection the
| store, in the first place, has been fitted up
with all the modern improvements to facilitate
| the transaction of business; we happened
in there one evening last week and the crowd
was so great that it was very evident that all
the facilities were demanded. A commercial
traveller, whose route extends over the north
west stated in our hearing last week, that
there was no store in the northwest outside
of Chicago or Milwaukee that surpassed it,
and but few in either of these cities that equal
it.
But what does it contain now? The spring
stock has just been opened and a careful and
close inspection shows it to be complete In
every department. Do you want to furnish
your house? You will find there the new
est and most elegant carpets, rugs, and oilcloths
and varying so in price that the pockets of all
can be suited; your windows can be furnished
with the most costly and beautiful lace cur
tains or lambrequins or the modest and mex
pensive 'swindow shade"
DRESS GOODS.
Here is department in which the ladies
will take especial delight, and only a lady
could do it justice in writing it up; there are
''lovely" silk dress goods, from the always
rich and beautiful black, to the more lovely
and delicate tints that are fitted for bridal
trouseau. Turning from the silks, other dress
goods are found in endless styles and variety.

well as color, ending in the most substantial
of ginghams and cottons from the best and
most noted manufactures.
SHAWLS, CLOAKS AND DOLMANS.
Here is another department in which the
ladies will linger with pleasure, for they will
find much to admire; should they desire to
invest in high priced shawls they need not
go out of the city for here they will get some
thing worth their money. In dolmans and
summer cloaks the choice is unlimited, and
all, in price as cheap as can be found in eth
er Milwaukee or Chicago
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.
There is another place interesting to the
ladies and that is the "chiidrens department"
Every mother is DESTROYS that her little one
shall appear as well as her neighbours; it is
comrnendable and natural pride and creditsble
to her; but she may not be an artist in non-
structing garments for little ones, or she may
not have time; here she finds cnnfort and relief
for she can find the latest styles both in the
make up and material at absolutely less cost
IMAM she ca make them up herself.
MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT.

range and includes Ladies' underwear, and

not been forgotten. If they prefer to have
their own tailor make up their suits they will
