THE PALACE OF FASHION.

Truly Il may be said that the merchant
tailoring establishment Of Mr.. III. Iimmer.
man, 507 Main street, is the palace of fash
ion in our city, and it would seem almost
superhuous 20 say anything more tnan 10
merely mention that he had recelyed his
new spring goods, 70 cause perfect rush
10 the establishment by the gentry Of our
city and vicinity in making their selettions
for spring and summer wear.
Mr.. Zimmerman il we'll known among us
as gentleman of exquisite taste in select
ing goods OF his line, and in doing so for
this season one would think he had almost
outdone himself by the immense stock to
be seen on MS counters, which Is composed
OF the very latest novelties OF the season.
AS an artistic cutter 1t is a conceded fact
that he stands pre- eminently above all
others In north Texas and with his pres
ent corps of workmen he is prepared to turn
out his work in manner that Will
compare with any of the large cities;
and as an elegant. genial, suave gentleman,
II is only necessary for one to call upon him
ut his place OF business to be convinced
that thay will have been treated with that
degree OF politeness that always makes one
feel as though they had spent a few mo-
menis pleasantly and regretful of taking
their leave. II is his delight TO show his
tasteful selections and make everyone feel
welcome 10 examine his stock regardless OF
a purchase. And no gentleman in Dallas
should make a purchase this season with
out first examining the magnificent stock
of our Tailor Prince.
