Among the many houses of this city
whose reputation is not only local but
extends throughout the neighboring
country is that of the above named gen.
tleman. If any evidence were wanted
in this progressive age of what can be
accomplished by energy, ability and ap-
plication to business, supplemented by
zeal and fair and honorable dealing, they
surely can be brought forward in this
active and enterprising city in numbers.
A clear and we'll established example of
this class of mercantile institutions is
offered by the widely and familiarly
known clothing house of I. A. Feibel,
which has become well and favorably
known, not only to the residents OF this
city and county, but to the people all
over the surrounding country, far into
the adjoining counties.
This house was established twenty
two years ago by I. A. Feibel, and has be-
come one OF the old and solid landmarks
of the city. During the existence of this
establishment it has met many strong
competitors. Many clothing stores have
been started in opposition, and were
finally compelled to 60 to the wall.
Many clothing dealers have attempted
to crowd this house to such an extent
as.to imperil its existence. Many and
divers are the means adopted by other
houses with this object in view, but
they have all failed. This house has
stood Arm, with an unsullied front, has
successfully met every advance and
emerged from the fray with an undis.
puted credit and untarnished reputa-
ton. And it is still with us, with a
reasonable certainty Of remaining for all
time to come.
Mr.. Feibel's location on West Main
street, opposite the Court house, is one
of the best in the city, while his store
room is the finest in this locality. The
premises are "a by 200 feet, two floors
are occupied and seven persons are re-
quired to handle the trade of the house;
and Mr.. Feibel has, through his enter
prise, economical and industrious habits
been enabled to build up one OF the
best clothing and boot and shoe bust.
nesses In the State, while his trade ia
one of the largest.
There are several reasons for the great
success of this establishment, one Of
which is that the proprietor is thor
ough clothing man and did not jump
into the business with no knowledge oi
its relations, but learned it thoroughly
in its every detail. He was, fguratively
speaking, raised in the business, and is
splendid judge ofthe goods he handles.
de does not in the sale of goods say he
"bought them for all wool and they
ought to be so," but sells them for what
they are. He knows what he handles,
and always guarantees everything sold
to be just az represented. Another
point which has contributed to his sue,
cess is that he has always made q spec
ality of finer goods than are usually
handled by clothing men; our people
knowing that when they wanted fine
goods they could always find them al
this house, A decided feature OF hii
success is that he leads and never fol
lows. He is always adding something
new in his varied attractions and alwayi
looking up new and desirable goods fol
his custom-always securing some new
novelty which other houses do no
handle. And still another reason il
that Mr.. Feibel is an attentive ant
| straightforward business man who at
tends strictly to his own affairs, stadiel
TO please and always makes friends will
his customers.
And yet the greatest reason for th'
wonderful success of this gentleman 4
the class of goods handled. He make
his own selection of cloth, gives order
how they shall be made up, and by thi
means is able to offer to our people {
better class OF clothing than othe
houses who do not possess this adyan
tage. By this procedure he is enable,
to place on sale clothing which is espec
tally adapted to tho trade in this locali
ty. And one thing ascertain, this hous
carries no shoddy goods-nothing bu
the best and the finest.
During visit to this place OF busines
we found the room completely filled
with clothing of every design, styls
color and grade, ranging from the NOR
moderate priced to the finest OF reguls
tailor made clothing. Anybody from
child two and a half years old up to tn
largest and most portly man can b
fitted. The gents furnishing goods ant
hat and cap departments are fullto over
flowing with every description Of good
suitable and appropriate for gentlemel
wear, and the same may be said of tn
trunk and yslise department. In fac
each branch is full at all times, and
constantly being replenished wit
new and stylish garments. The ne'
and nobby spring styles Of goods hav
just been received, and the differen
patterns and styles from which to max
selections most certainly gives the moi
fastidious and exactlng no room for fau
finding. This gentleman also carrie
