WIDE AWAKE AND ENTER.
PRISING.
This is What May be Said Of N. Lei
man, Proprietor CT the "Oid Re-
liable Clothing House that
Proudly Bears His Name.


For many years n. Lehman, the
well-known Henderson clothing mer-
chant, has been successfully engaged
in the laudable business of clothing
a large proportion of the male popu- ,
lation OF this section. If he has not |
literally " clothed the Naked" he has !
protected more people IN need of good !
and comfortable wearing apparel from
the "cold chilly winds of December"
and done more toward making man
have better opinion of himself, per-
haps, (ior when a fellow is "rigged
out" IN nice, we'll made suit Of
clothes, stylish and perfect in ft-such
as Lehman sells-it does make him
feel better, and We suspect, has some
thing to do with making him better
and more useful citizen)-than any
other man hereabou:s.
Having done this much for Others,
Mr.. Lehman proposes to better clothe
himsel!-with garments of another
! kind-the habiliments Of an enter
prisi1g spirit hitherto unknown even
to the vide awake, enterprising and
accommodating "Old Reliable" that
he may the better be prepared to sup
ply the increased demands OF his trade
by keeping in stock larger and bet
ter class of goods than ever before.
This we are sure Mr.. Lehman's many
friends and customers will fully ap-
preciatc, and when we tell them how
he proposes to do it they will readily
see how it will be greatly to their in
terest and advantage as well as his
own.
Mr.. Lehman informs the GOLD
LEAF that he has effected an arrange
ment with two of largest and best
known clothing manufacturing houses
in the United States, by which he will
be enabled to handle their goods at
manufacturers prices. In other words,
he has formed partnership with these
firms and will put their goods upon
the market here just as if they were
manufactured in Henderson. The in
telligent reader will at once under
stand the advantage this will give Mr..
Lehman. He will thus be enabled to
carry larger and better stock, Of
course, being associated with two of
the largest manufacturers of clothing
in the country, representing An lm-
mcnse capital, and virtually manuiac-
turing his own goods, he can sell at
prices that actually defy competition.
The name of the concern will be
changed to the "Lehman Clothing
Company" The words Old Relia-
bic" will be dropped, but this house
has gained such broad rep 'ation
for good and reliable goods, and SO
,, we'll and favorably IS it known in con-
nection with the term that, like the
,, memory of pleasant dream, it will
cling to it still. No merchant in
Henderson is better known for the
t high grade OF goods he sells than Mr.
!, Lehman. He caters to the better
Q class of trade and he gets it. What
e ever his customers want he supplies
and when he sells an article it goe
y upon its merit. His clothing are al
= ways made up in the best style, wei
$ finished and faultless as to fit.
r One secret of Mr.. Lehmans sue
g cess (he has built up a very large
trade and made possible and neces
i sary the splendid building that stand
> a monument to his sagacity, enter
d prise and integrltv,) is that he sell
