"THE MAMMOTH CLOTHING PALACE"
The first merchant tailoring, cloth
ing and gents furnishing goods es-
tablishment was opened IN this city
by Jas. Pye Il Co. 1t not only sup
piled Il want much needed but being
undertaken by man of high bust
ness attainmcnts added largely to the
commercial interests Of our city.
Prior to locating here MIR. JAS. Pye
held positions in some of the leading
manufacturing and jobbing houses,
both in this country and Europe, sold
goods by sample in most of the large
towns and cities throughout the
Union. His thorough commercial
education in practical business life,
fully qualities him for the pursuance
of the avocation he so wisely adopted,
enabling him to more than cope with
merchants of less business experience.
His extensive acquaintance both with
the markets and manufactures, and
his complete knowledge Of the goods
he handles, affords him great advan-
tages in purchasing. Making the
necessities of the trade continual
study, anticipating every want in
his line, his goods are not allowed to
remain long upon the shelves and
counters without purchasers, hence his
stock is always new and fresh. lie
never buys anything unless it is the
very fastest. His merchant tailoring
department is the finest in the state
outside of Louisville and under the
supervision Of an artistic CUTTER and
only skilled and sober wQrkmen are
employed. Paying the highest prices
he therefore secures the best work
men that can be procured. Mr.. Pye
has recently placed an order with a
London (Eng.) House for fall and
winter styles. Thus by importing
direct he saves in goods what some
try to save in sighting the work aud
trimmings. and is enabled to give
better value for the same amount Of
cash than those that resort to a cheap
trade. Nothing can surpass his stock
of fine ready made clothing and those
who come to our market TO purchase
such goods do themselves injustice
by not calling and inspecting his
mammoth stock as he is exclusively,
beyond a doubt, the Boss Clothier
both in name and in reality. The
writer paid visit 10 the establish
ment the other day and certainly
thinks he never saw such II large as
sortment of fine foreign and domestic
woolens before. There was an al
most bewildering profusion of new
shades and fabrics, so that every taste
aud caprice could be easily satisfied.
Their trade for SO and 81 was the
largest ever experience. The well
earned reputation of this house will
he maintained and their popularity
will secure for them trade second to
none.
Special attention is given to the
fact that no article or garment leaves
this place which escapes the super
vision aud examination of Mr.. Pyc
or his valuable and popullr clerk, Mr.
Cook
Messrs Jas. Pye Il Co, depend solely
on the well-established reputation Of
their house for public patronage
which is uudOubted the only legili
mate and independent method o
Transferring business. They are mel
of keen perceptions and sound jndg
ment, qualities that are highly valua
bic in this line ofbusiness. They arr
also honorable aad liberal in theiI
dealings and gentlemanly in thcil
demeanor. Altogether their success
has been honestly won. Their Wild
spread popularity and their bushes
operations are but the outgrowth o
their sterling qualities which lead It
commercial success.
Personally, Mr.. Jas. Pye is Il gen
tleman of pre-poss3ssing appearance
man of intelligence and broad busi
ness views. lie is very popular
dresses well and possesses no eflemi
nate traits, although he parts his hal
in the middle.
