Among the many plans which in these
latter days have been developed in the
interests of social economy and for lighten-
ing the labors of the household there is none

is the one conducted by Mr.. L. IL. Lombard,

are warranted exactly as represented, and
this house has attained its high reputation
by so doing. Another feature is that he has
only one price, and, as he deals directly with
the manufacturers and pays no middlemen's
proft, this price is always the lowest. The
chief point aimed at is to give patrons low
prices for a high quality of goods, and the
large trade that centers here is the best
proof of how he is succeeding.
