which means the finest ever opened IN the

There will be special sale commenced in
all departments on Monday, which will be
continued for thirty days. During this sale
decided bargains shall positively be given in
each and every department Of the house,
which means more straight, reliable goods
for the money than can be furnished by
any other house in the county. The immense
sales of this house have steadily increased
year after year until they have almost
reached an incredible amount. These I'M
mense sales enable the house to sell good
and reliable goods, and there can be no ques-
ton raised regarding their quality. This is
the class of goods that this house is selling
every day in the year for the prices you
are very often paying for shoddy.
The great slaughter for this week will be
uinheard- of bargains in silks of all colors and
shades. The stock, regarding quality and
quantity, is truly unequalcd; as to price, you
will get in this sale better silk for the
money than you can buy in any other house
in the state Wholesale houses not excepted.

was not long before they took the lead in the
