CLOTHING.
OUR FIRST OVERCOAT

Cost two-ffty, and well do we re-
member it as the pride Of our youth,
especially so as we earned the gold
en- quarter-e eagle that went to pay
for it. These were primitive days,
when slop,s shop clothing was the
only sort made for sale; but we
have improved on the methods of
past days, and now have on our
counters qualities, styles and shapes
then undreamed Of
We show you the best Woolens
the market affords, with finer trim
mings than the best merchant tail
ors used decade since, and, as for
fitting qualities, no tailor can even
now approach our modern ideas.
We have introduced this week
one lot Qot 5779) of Youths Over
coats, which we consider good prop
erty for the price, which is fifteen
dollars each. These are NIGEL y fit
ting coats, the color dark mixed
stone drab, and the material soft
finished Kersey, with satin sleeve
lining. We have lots of nice Over
coats about the same price, which
seems to be a popular one, In turning
over our piles this evening we found
some remarkably handsome ones as
low as twelve and even ten dollars.
The warmest coats are made Of
Chinchilla or some similar woolly
material. We have them as low as
twelve dollars and as high as sixty.
Dressy Top Coats continue to be
made Of Kerseys and Corkscrew Di-
agonals. We have them in the great
est possible variety of qualities and
colorings, from ten dollars upward.
No house approaches us in the cheap
ness of our prices, the excellence of
our assortment, or the magnitude Of
our stock. Our entire third floor is
set aside for the display and sale of
Overcoats.

eight or nine hundred years. Among the curiosi.
ties are many which, to see alone would BIO worth
the price Of admission to the entertainment.

Most Successful Season
WE HAVE EVER HAD,

While others grumble and COM
plain. Our Cloaks have been the
talk Of the town this season. None
can compare with our prices and
assortment. We have sold an i'm
mense quantity andare still getting
them in every day. Having pur-
chased early in the season, before
the advance and before the great
demand for those special styles had
set in, we are enabled to offer
Cloaks this season at nearly one
half the prices Of last year. We
have now over 200 garments of
all styles and prices in our show
room No one who will give us a
call can go away without being
suited in styles and prices, and we
"hold the fort on them.
In Carpets, Rugs and Oil Cloths
we have the largest assortment in
the city and connections with the
best manufacturers known. Our
prices are guaranteed to be the
lowest and the goods sold as rep
