THE NEW AND THE BEAUTIFUL

Mr.. Torrison recently returned from a
purchasing tour in the Eastern and Chi
cago markets, and the results of his trip
are manifesting themselves in the endless
piles of new goods which are being dis
played in his elegant store building. The
handsome display of carpets in the front
windows gives an idea of the character of
the stoc'S in that particular line. Not
only are there all kinds of carpets at all
prices and in all the newest patterns, but
the stock of rugs, mats, ETC., carried in
connection with it presents a scene well
worth viewing even if the idea of pur-
chasing is not entertained. In connec-
ton with this department, the visitor
will find very fine selection of lace cur
tains and dreperies. Ii point of beauty
of design and variety, the present stock
has never been surpassed. There is so
much that is new in every seasons goods
that one feels one is behind the times on
style while viewing the latest attractions
in ladies garments which Mr.. Torrison
displays in such profusion. The stock
now on hand is calculated to make the
ladies' eyes sparkle for very Joy when
they see it; and not only have the wants of
the ladies been looked to, but the children
can here be fitted with garments that are
all the most tasty mother could ask for.
Dress goods are cheap this year; but the
low prices at which they are sold has not
made any difference in the beauty of the
patterns show. A strong card in Mr..
Torrison's business hand this fall is a
large selection of jamestown alpacas.
These goods are guaranteed: LIST to be
made from the very best selected mater
ial by the most skilled workmen, wool
dyed and colors as fast as the purest
dyes and best skill known can make them.
End, not to curl or shrink. They are so
thoroughly shrunk and finished, as not
to be affected by dampness, therefore
may be worn in wet weather, or if desir-
ed, washed without injury. Bird, not to
crumple easily. They are entirely free
from foreign substances generally used
to increase their weight and beauty of
finish, but which disappear after few
days wear. Silks cannot be found in
greater quantity or at SO low price any
where as at Torrison's. The stock is
unusually large and embraces all shades
and qualities. One of the most fashion.
able new things for dresses are beaded
fronts, something the ladies will under
stand more about after an examination
of the fine selection offered at Torrisons.
Shawls for beauty and shawls for COM
fort abound in the store this season and
both kinds are much cheaper than in
former years. The list embraces beaver,
velvet and camePs hair and an extra
serviceable one known as the Western
Reversible Shawl. The assortment of
shawls is the best in the city, and prices
are guaranteed the lowest. So fine a
display of goods as is embraced in the
line Of ladies' and children's underwear
has seldom been made in Manitowoc
establishment. The same is true of the
magnificent selection of cloakipgs, plush
es and fur and other things to match,
the whole combining to make up stock
which is at once credit to the city and
bonanza for customers who desire to
select from complete stock. Mr.. Tor
rison has particular bargain to offer in
fannels. He has the agency for the GEL
ebrated Buffalo Flannels, warranted not
to shrink, and Undoubtedly the best
goods for the money ever offered, The
wants of the gentlemen and boys are
looked after as usual in a very excellent
stock of furnishing goods, hats and caps,
boots, shoes, etc. The assortment, style
and quality of his ready-made clothing
is the best. He is also prepared to have
suits made to order by one of the best
tailors in the city, and for this purpose
has laid in an elegant selection of cassi-
meres and other suitings.
This stock of goods has been purchas-
ed from first hands in the best markets
and will be offered at small margin of
profit. Mr.. Torrison has received large
share of the patronage of Manitowoc
county buyers and will endeavor to de-
serve still larger proportion of it if o
large stock of good goods at fair prices
will draw it.
