DID YOU HEAR ABOUT IT.

You didn't! Well-we'il tell you all
about tits the best yet. We have
found a way to give Christmas pres
ent to each of our readers here it is
While in Cleveland we ran across the
new dry goods store of Crow. & Whit
marsh, at 1 aud 6 Euclid Avenue, and
as usual, our curiosity got the best oil
us, and We stepped in to see what was
going on. We were very much sur
prised indeed TO find the store almost
packed with buying customers, and
one thing we noted in particular was
that almost each and every custome er
was of the better class of people. We
poke ed around to our entire satisfaction
became acquainted with Messrs Crow
d Whitmarsh, aud found them to be
pushing, driving business men from
New EuglaLd. We left well pleased
with the new store, and now let us tell
you where the Christmas present
comes in, We forgot to, state that we
inquired prices of different articles at
nearly every counter, and were not
only pleased, but astonished at the-loW
prices ed for the goods. At rirst We
said, how's this? How is it that a
comparatively small and new concern
can settle right down among so many
big dry goods kings, for We all know
that. Cleveland has many large dry
goods stores, and at he same time so
quickly pick up large trade aud sell
at such low prices. We finally salts.
fed ourselves that the low prices had
made their large trade, andthat prob
ably Messrs. Crow Il Whitmarsh. ar
gued that low prices, and low prices
from the first and q continuance Of
low prices would surely guarantee
success. We bethOught ourselves -at
the time, and do now ppbIish it to our
many subscribers aud readers, that we
could safely guarantee them, one and
all, such q saving of money by trading
at the New Dry Goods Store of Crow
& Whitmarsh, and 6 Euclid Avenue,
Cleveland, Ohio, as would certainly
amount to q good round sum- This
sum saved (by all who take advantage
of our sugSestion) We in turn gracious
ly donate TO our wise friends, with the
compliments of the season. Ana here
is our " Christmas Present" We have
lust been advised through friend OF
ours who spoke with Messrs Crow 4
Whitmarsh- a day or two ago-that
they propose to do u tremendous large
BUSINESS for the holidays. Instead OF
the usual trash and perishable stuff
shown for holiday gifts-they call at
tentiOn to serviceable and useful goods,
that do both the giver and recipient
credit. In this new store the proprie-
tors have just knitted their entire Dress
Goods stock-by that We mean cut the
prices right close to the bone. The y
now sell Dress Goods at 5, 10 and ia
cents that are remarkable bargains.
Dress Goods at IS and 371 cents that
almost sell themselves, and Dress
Goods hundreds of styles at 75c, that
were sold two weeks ago at 81. 90. 81 Is

partment they show $1,000 yards OF

75c per yard, for the ridiculous silly
prices of l9 and 20c per yard. Our ad
vice is to you not to be silly Qike the
price,, but to start at once for that bee
hive of industry, viz: Crow & Whit
marsh's New Dry Goods Store Fol
ten days previous to Christmas they
have made arrangements to throw
away (almOsD several thousand yards
of Black Dress Silks, ranging in price
from 75 cents to So per yard. The in
ducements offered in Black Silks at
that time and by this house. we
are assured will simply capture the
whole city of Cleveland and its sur
rounding villages and towns. Why
not let's all be wise and not foolish,
as we've been so often, and buy a use.

cheaper than we can buy an ordinary
WOODEN dress. Well be there, aud
shall expect to meet you, too. Oh +!
don't let's forget to tell you what they
said about their Cloak and Garment
Department. Well, to make short
story of it, they want the room to
chow other goods, and they are going
to hustle all their Ladies' and Chill
dren's Garments right out. Low prices
go. Give them call if you need q
cloak, either for yourself or baby.
