II. C. Conrad, the counsel for the

Il trying to drive out some OF the q
kst and peach sellers, has explained the
marks. lava as follows: The City had
y law passed in 1883, but In 1885 the
Legislature passed laws which were
paramount. The CITY ordinance pro
vides where the State laws failed to
designate. First, there is a market on
King and Madison streets for farmers
and truckers only. Every product
that a farmer or trucker raises may be
Rold there, but uo one may sell there
who does not rsise what he offers.
Secondly, there Is u hacksters' market,
to he occupied only by residents OF
Wilmington, after taking out n RETAIL
ers' license. The position Of this mar
ket is not deciaved In tbs Legislative
enactment, but by the city ordinance
II is fixeJ on the south side OF Fourth
street, from King to Walnut, and
north side OF Fourth from Jefferson to
Manroa. ThiEdly, there 10 IA market
for New Jersey producers, in which
Gully the New Jersey producers them
sslves can sell. One man cannot bring
produce fog his reighbors. The state
law does not designate this market
either, but the city charter says that tt
shall be on the north side of Fourth
street from King 10 Walnut, opposite

Two years ago we bought a
thousand bedroom suits Of
three pieces and sold them at
$2s a suite. Before we had
done with it we sold two-thou-
sand-two hundred of them-all
exactly alike.
Last year we got a thousand
again Of another pattern, still
s25, but a better suite than the
former one.
Now we have bought still
another thousand still better,
same price, $25.
There will be a good deal of
curiosity to see a better bed
room suite than those two for
S2s. We have one to show
none to deliver for two or three
weeks yet-they have got to
be made.
The secret of the price Is in
the number of course.
The suit this year is Of ash
with a scroll Of hand-carving
across the tops OF bedstead
and bureau-mirror and bead Of
the same below the scroll.
Hand carving at $25 a suite
| Nevertheless it is there; and
proper work it is.
One Of the wonderments is
such a result of our method in
furniture. This is only one
out of many; but this is one to
which we have GSGenf our pur-
pose with nothing but money
in view. For the third year
now we are showing what can
done in respect of goodness
materials, work and design
for so small sum as S2s for
bed. tead, bureau and wasl-
stand, by making enough at
once to give us all the advan-
tage that lies within our reach.
But you will miss the chief
lesson Of this example if you
fail to notice that it is an exam
pie of what we redoing every
day.
Go through our furniture
floors, You see no sign of a
thousand suits at S25 apiece.
You see but one among some
hundreds of Others. Every
one of these hundreds stands
for as many as we think our
selves safe in buying. The prices
areverydifferentfrom whatthey
would have to be if only a few
were made. And yet in good
part these styles are nowhere
| else to be seen.
