A HoUsE.

Mr.. &. d. Taylor, the popular and eff
ficient jewler of this city, has won so
liberal a patronage in Mankato and
neighboring towns along the various
lines of railroads centering here since
he first located in our midst, seven years
ago, that he finds it necessary to ex-
tend his business to accommodate it to
the increasing necessities Of the trad e
and the fast developing needs of the
communities his customers represent.
The demand for a better class eff goods
in his line has constantly grown from
year to year and Mr.. Taylor has always
anticipated this in season to provid e
what his friends desired, a fact which
has enabled him TO hold the implicit
confidence of all who have dealt with
him. The trade awarded Mr.. Taylor in
the last year has fully convinced him that
ere another twelve months pass away
he will be obliged to materially add to
his already full stock, both in quality
and quantity. With this conviction in
mind, he will soon commence a thor
ough refitting and renovating of the in
terror of his store. Arrangements wi Il
be so made that every available inch Of
space will be utilized and his display
will be far more attractive and easier of
inspection by the public. The in terror
of his store will be fittingly embellished
to accord with the surroundings, there
by making perfection of attractivness
wen more perfect. Besides securing a
full line of the very best silver and plat
ed ware, he proposes to put in a COM
p~aratively large stock of bronze goods of
a quality and variety never before
brought 10 this city or vicinity. besides
many classes of merchandise which he
has never kept, though they properly
belong to the jewelry trade and which
no first-class .iewelry store is fully
equipped without. While in CONVERSE
ton with us one day recently, Mr.. T..
expressed genuine satisfaction with the
patronage accorded him during the late
holiday season, and intimated that he is
duly thankful for the same; knowing,
as he does, that there is no surer criteri-
OH to follow in business advancement,
than the consciousness that one has the
good will and support of the enterpris-
ing and progressive business e of his
own city. This he certainly has, and it
is upon this fact, largely, that he is
steadily increasing his invoices of goods.
He says, also, that he will not permit
the wants of mis- many friends to go I'M
provided, for his long experience has
sufficiently qualified him to select goods
judIciously, and TO buy at figures that
will insure the lowest possible price
here. His repairing department will
continue to be a prominent and leading
adjunct of the business, and work COM
mrtted to his care will be placed in the
hands Of competent mechanics, and no
work, not satisfactory to the owner will
be permitted to go out, for he is determ-
med to keep up the eminent reputation
he has already secured in this particular.
1t was gratifying to us to hear Mr..
Taylor talk of his intentions for the fu-
ture SO confidently, as it must be to all
business men to hear expressions Of
faith in Mankato's prosperity by men of
tact and judgment. Taylor's jewelry
store is one of the substantial houses of
the city, and as that gentleman has re-
GENTLY purchased most desirable resi-
dence property here, he will spare moth
ing that will push his business to the
front, something that his large corps of
patrons should bear in mind.
