We are Our Own Manufacturers,
Is what they say in response to
our inquiry as to their business,
"and being our own manufacturers,
there are no middlemen between
ourselves and our customers, and
being our own manufacturers, we
are enabled to give our customers
better fits, and for less money, as the
customers thus save the jobber's
profits. And then as we carry
the largest stock of any house in
the State, we offer our customers
an almost unlimited field to select
from and are thus enabled to please
and satisfy all comers."
This enterprising firm has al.
ready built up an extensive job
bling trade throughout West Vir-
ginia and Ohio. They of
course took a lively interest in
the big Trades Display on May 3rd
and were heard FROM in that DEM
onstration. All visitors to Par
kersburg should make it a point
to 60 through the immense rooms
of the West Virginia Clothing
House, all brilliantly illuminated
by Electric Lights.
Some people have an idea that
Parkersburg has no "big concerns"
They should call and look through

deceived.

nence as the only cooperative store
in the city. The Petersburg Co.
operative Association was organ
lied and duly incorporated in July
1885. Soon thereafter the store
was established at the present ex-
cellent stand and has been doing
an active and rapidly increasing
business ever since. The shares of
stock are only SO, within the reach
of the many, thus giving the many
direct interest in the store and
making them sharers in whatever
margins they pay for their goods
above cost price. And then, with
careful and economic management,
the expenses are small, and buying
and selling for cash only, they
save in discounts at one end and
IN having no bad debts at the
other. The Company is thus able
to sell on very small profits and
makes it to the interest of the pub
lie generally to cooperate with the
Cooperative store, which the pub
lie is largely doing.

Yesterday evening, Sunday as 1t
was, miner named Baker was
made drunk with many others.
Some saloon keeper in this place
sold them the drink. Sunday is
their busiest day here.
Mr.. Baker was trying to get to
his humble home after dark when
drunkenness overcame him; he
fell on the railroad, lay there I'M
conscious of his danger; a freight
train ran over him, go literally
dissecting, mincing, and scattering
the pieces of his body and brains
along the road that it was inpossi-
bic to gather the fragments togeth.
or for burial.
This sad occurrence took place
within a few hundred yards of his
humble home where broken
hearted widow and six orphan
children now live and suffer AZ the
result of the accursed whisky traffic.
"Woe unto him that putteth the
bottle to his neighbours lips, and
maketh him drunken also," which
woe certainly stands against every
voter that for any cause fails to do
his whole duty in helping to remove
this awful curse and crime from
our midst. Would that all the
Amendment stabbers" could have
witnessed this horrible tragedy
