of 7 pieces, received special notice.
His marble tables we're beauties.
Paul M. Roth's display took the
eyes of all lovers of neat clothing.
Here could be seen large number
of suitings, overcoating, paintings,
neckwear in abundance, an endless
amo unit of satin sleeve Innings, hats
and caps, till you couldn't rest, and
everything SO tastily arranged that
everyone in passing, stopped and adj
mired the display, which is said to
exceed in cash value any other SINH
lar exhibit ever made in Shiawassee
county. Paul's store, Bank block,
is the headquarters for all kinds of
clothing necessary to dress a person
neatly. Moreover, his prices are
reasonable as is fully evinced by his
success, which is almost phenomenal,
considering the short time he has
been in business for himself. Less
than fifteen months ago he started
in small way, in the rear of M. L.
Stewards Bank block, doing only
merchant tailoring; in the spring he
added gents furnishing goods, and
now carries as complete line of all
goods found in any similar store in
Central Michigan. Success to his
enterprise
Geo. w. Loring had his booth
ornamented by Al specimens of wall
paper. 1t was indeed a pleasure to
look over so many patterns, each diff
fering from the other not only in de-
sign, but in color and tint, some
gaudy. some plain, but all handsome.
Beebe's pictures were considered
better than ever, and he has invari-
bly, taken the Ist premium.
Lawrence & Sons display made
the mouths OF all water as they
gazed on the lucious fruits, and the
candies, their cigars ETC., which were
placed $50 near and yet SO far"
Everything that an epicurian could
wish for, was there. Not only were
fancy goods we'll represented, but
the staple articles also, and all SO
lastly arranged that many remarked
that they had neve seen its equal
even in Detroit or other large places.
G.. r. Black was the only one of
r our merchants who made an exhibit
of dress goods. His booth was well
filed with elegant cloaks, shawls,
. corsets, silks, and the other articles
more especially adapted for the
f ladies. Miss Frank Evans waited
, on all who wished to buy, and sold,
we understand, quite an amount of
, goods; thus Mr.. Black reaps good
profit for his enterprise.
:, At Dimmick & Sons booth we
: could find most anything we could
wish for. Here was crockery in
/. abundance, fine jewclry, looking
t glasses, clocks, etc. High and low
t on every hand, in every spot and
place was to be found something use.

On the "White" he turned out work
