Housekeeping supplies
About the oldest tinware and house,
furnishing goods house here, be-
lieve, Is that of q. W. JOhnSOn's sons
10 Is certainly the most extensive one,
and the gentlemen who compose the
firm are intelligent authority in their
line
In cOnversing with them l was in
formed that in no previous season IN
their business history have they felt
such live pressure of trade, and this IN
all the various Glasses of goods handled
by them. Said one OF the memberSOi
the house, "Our mandatory has been
run To its full capacity, aud We have
been compelled To add more help right
along. The fruit crop looks well and
orders for cans are pouring in right
along. We expect To sell away IN ad-
vance of last year, notwithstanding
that our trade at that time was very
heavy. Our stove business improves
continuously and VT are selling quite u
number Of gaS and oil stoves tor which
We hold the agency ia this market, and
which we claim are tue best IN tulS
class of Goods turned out. They have
kth kllN ~ SkONN~ Al'" u ~ O. NN4''E' W -
lection in regard to safety aud economy,
and have 80 improved their appeLr-
auce that they are really ornamental.
Their convenience and cleanliness are
apparent ami their utility is beyond
question. They are becoming exceed
ingly puUular and their small cost puts
them within the reach Of everybody.
We experimented wnh number OF
these patent stoves until We got what mas
IrCvtd To be the best Ia every respect,
and now have an article which
We can confidently recommend.
Ii NAV seem like a strong assertion To
saw that We have the best stove made
OF this character, but We sincerely
think 50 after, as ! have said, putting
all 10 severest tests. There i but little
monty in them, however, and We are
compelled to figure up profit simply
10y doing q large business IN them
"Fur general hOuseturn lshing goods
there il an active demand. People
are now also ordering water coolers, re-
frirpratur, ice cream irpeLerS and water
filtCrs. Speaking of the last article, We
introduced filter last summer, which
il the finest thing | ever saw. l sold
some To some prominent citizens here
two or three voluntarily offered to give
us certificates for publication setting
forth It's merits in most praIsewOr,ny
terms. II is certainly an admirable
invention, cheap, quick in It's wOrN,
aud removes sll the impurities from the
filthiest water, making II ~ clear -
crystal. Everybody understands th'
importance Of having pure water for
USE in their homes and tins they can
easily secure by using one OIthc-e filters.

which may be u cause OF Introducing
contagious ieverS or other diseases, but
the action Of this filter Is such that
all organisms of this kind are etfeCtual-
IN removed. The phrase Is an old one,
but there is no doubt about the fact
that no family should be without it,
With reference TO TefrigeratOrS and cool
ers We carry all sizes of styles aud the
finest which we wholesale a. we'll ~
retail, In these articles alone, speaking
of the improvements in mOst aids to
hous, keeping and kitchen furniture,
there are improvements made every
yesr, and with struggle to get 10 the
minimum in the cost fprOductiOn."
Here n number of these articles were
thrown open for examination, aud the
features of USt tulnt~S enumerated. One
look, however, through the stock Of
goods kept by this firm seems To make
the problem of housekeeping Nade
easy easy of solution, and il IS this
spirit Of enterprise and IHrt-~~Saut
watchiulne>s i'm the Interest of their
patrons that has placed this house in
It's present foremost position. II tsadd-
ing new territory of trade constantly
