: 4 Meu Ecuinncd Store.

Stepping into the store of Finch Brothers,
next door to the Bank few days ago, it
was matter Of genuine surprise TO the
writer to find that they carry such large
and we'll assorted stock. You can name
no article in the line of general merchan-
disc scarcely but what they have it-and
everything is fresh and scasonablc. The
shelves and counters are filled up with
every Imaginable article, and the stock is
constantly being replenishcd. The firm
buy directly from the largest manufacture
ers Of CERTAIN lines OF goods while in other
casses they make extensive purchases at
leading auction houses in the large cities,
which of course means that they get them
at a great discount. This they propose To
give their customers the benefit Of. Buy
ing so much cheaper than their competitors
they can under>ell them and then make a
good profit on their goods.
The frm buy for cash, in large quanti-
ties and get the benefit of all discounts,
and this Of itself would naturally give
them great advantage, while they have a
still greater one in the peculiar manner in
which they make their purchases. For in
stance, they have just bought the entire
stock of buttons Of Parker 4 Gloss at about
one-fourth less than these goods can be OBJ
tanned at Wholesale in New York. As a
matter of course Finch Bros can afford 10
sell buttons cheaper than any other dealer
for some time to come. And this is the
way they buy many of their goods in the
large Northern cities. When a firm wants
to close out, or a financial crash comes.
they step in with the ready cash, figure
close the bargain and lump the whole
thing in, Thus getting many things at less
than one-half their actual market value
1t is not necessary to argue what advantage
this gives them over the ordinary dealer.
Where there is such an endless variety
of goods of all kinds it would be imposSi-
bic to enumerate them but we will men
ton few leading articles MeSsrs. Finch
Bros. make a speciality of fine shoes for
ladies, gentlemen and children. They
handle the best makes and sell them at
low down prices--25 per cent cheaper than
the market. Ii prints, white goods, cloths,
etc, they show a beautiful line, at prices
that cannot be discounted. CalicoS, ging-
hams and other dress goods at your own
idea of what is real cheap" A nice line
of gents furnishing goods, ladies cuffs,
collars, handkeTchiefS, hosiery, etc. Two
cases Of notions Just received direct from
a big auction house in New York and will
be opened by Monday. 4 complete line Of
fancy family groceries, canned goods,
spices and baking powders, cakes, crack
ers and cheese, to which the special atten-
ton of housekeepers is invited. Toilet and

etc. A large stock of wood and willow
ware, broOms, and i'll fact everything 20 he

eral store; and every article will be sold
