LARGE SALES.

ssWTELL, Old Chap, have only few mo-
w ments to spend with you this morning,
and have heard so much talk Of your large sales,
bs GSen talk
trade, but the Old Chaps Store being always
crowded. You frequently hear ladies say,
wanted to buy my Hat from Mrs. Dobson. but
they were so busy that could not wait, and had
to 90 out and buy elsewhere, and am not pleased
with my purchase. I wanted to get my Hat or
Bonnet trimmed by Miss Keen. Her trimming
is so neat and in such good taste. I am sorry |
did not leave my order and wait until she could
have trimmed it, as do not like the hal! bought.
These and many other such remarks L hear IN
my travels around, and supposing that it must
be so. 1 just dropped in to see what you had to
say about your SPRING TRADE"
''Well, my friend, never had such trade in
the Millinery Department. We just could not
wait on our customers for the past three weeks,
many Of them have been compelled to go out and
trade elsewhere as they could not be waited on In
time at our house, and we were very sorry IN
deed, as we regret very much for our friends to
be compelled to trade elsewhere, but it was not
our fault, as it was impossible for us to have
them waited upon, and besides Miss KEEN,
working day and night, could not trim the Hats
and Bonnets as fast as they could be sold.''
"Well, Old Chap, let me congratulate you on
your good trade this season. 1t seems like big
talk, but from what have heard in the country,
I am sure what you say is so. How about Dress
Making?"
"Just got more than we can do. We are now
about two weeks behind"
"How many ladies have you now in the Mil
linery and Dress Making Departmental"
1--WE have had twelve for the past two weeks,
and could have employed twenty to good advan-
tage, but could not get them."
"Well, sir, I heard an old merchant say, when
you commenced the Dress Making business two
years ago, that you would certainty fall as other
parties here would get all the work; but see
and hear from all quarters that your Dress
Making has been steadily increasing ever since
you opened, until it has become big thing, and
besides, see your fits and work will compare
favorably with any city work have ever seen,
and have often heard it remarked by ladies that
it was as good as they had ever seen anywhere,
and I see you guarantee fits and work OF all
kinds, from your department, from Calico to
the finest Silk Dress, and I also hear that you
never have had miStit or a dress spoiled In all
your business"
"Mrs. DOBSON superintends all work and
sees that none is sighted, and her charges are
| moderate She keeps good seamstresses and
tirst-class cutter, and has had the same ladies
ever since she commenced business, and, Of
course, they have become experts"
81 understand it is quite difficult to get certain
lines of Millinery goods"
'Yes, sir, we have ordered from Baltimore and
New York time and again, and have telegraphed
and failed to get them. 1t is of frequent occur
renee that goods come in and before they are put
on the shelves part ofthem are sold. Customers
just waiting for them to be opened"
"Well. sir, it is just what have been expect
ing to hear. Your trade is all coming back to
you, and saying that they feel at home again, and
they bring new and strange faces with them."
"They, too, have heard Of our nice goods and
low prices, and most Of them leave with smile
on their faces, so glad that they have seen with
their own eyes what they have heard through the
columns Of the valuable ENQUIRER and from
their neighbors and find it to be true. No doubt
about the Old Chaps DRY GOODS, MILNE
