THE ssGOLDEN q Z"
A D~eserved'y Popular Clothing House
New Spring Goods Now Arriving.

Mr.. Joe Barth, of the famous
"Golden Eagle" Clothing House, has
just returned from the East, where
he ransacked the markets in search of
suitable goods to place before his
patrons. That he succeeded is be-
yond question. as the piles upon top
of piles of new fresh goods now COM
ing in attest. He went East with
what is Familiarity known as the
"Barth Syndicate"-the Barths from
all over the country-and their man
ner of buying is such that it is bound
to directly benefit their customers.
Mr.. Barth's purchases this trip we're
heavier than w heretofore, and he
lays particular stress upon the fact
than he can and will save his patrons
from 10 to Is per cent. on all pur-
chases. His spring and summer
suits comprise all the latest styles (;
and it will do your eyes good to take
a look at his elegant hats, furnishing
goods, fine shoes, &c. All these
goods are bran new aud of the very
latest designs.
Mr.. Barth has been in business in
this city SIX years, and his house has
established the reputation of the
leading clothing emporium, not only
Of Mexico, but of this part of the
state. He thoroughly understands his
business, treats his customers in a
gentlemanly manner, as do also his
statesmen, who + polite, attentive
aud ready at all times to serve GUS
TONERS. We must acknowledge that
our friend Barth is meritoriously en-
titled to the laurels he. has won in
business. He is known as an honor
able, upright man, who attends
strictly to his own affairs, his chief
aim in life being to serve his large
circle of patrons. This he is doing
admirably.
Look out for mammoth advertise
