The greatest opportunity ever offered
to the people OF the City Of Portland
and surrounding towns to buy a ParlOr
Suit to-day, Thursday; tomorrow, FRI
day, and Saturday and each evening un-
til 8 o'clock.
All the buying Of Parlor Suits for all
the stores is done at Portland, and all
the styles to suit the tastes OF the differ
ent people In the Cities OF Biddeford,
Auburn, Rockland and Bangor, are first
sent to Portland, making the head
quarters OF the Atkinson House Fur
nishing Co., more like a mammoth
wholesale depot, than a retail store,
and thus giving an opportunity to our
citizens to make selection, which they
can not make in any other store in the
United States, because we have grouped
here, five different stocks. 1t should be
reasonable to suppose that we must
have combined all the styles that the
artistic taste Of designers and manufac-
turers can bring out. Our spring stock
is In, and whether you want to buy or
not, come and see the goods, so that
later on when you require them, you
will have an opinion formed, and selec-
tions made that will save you time and
trouble. Come In In the evening, or
come In the day time. You will find at.
tentive statesmen always ready to ans
wer all the questions you may ask them,
and you will find a diversity OF prices
not to be looked for In any other estab-
lishment In the United States. We aie
proud to be able to say this for the City
Of Portland, and we feel 1t just to our
selves to say that the ladies Of Portland
should appreciate the fact.
Respectfully,
The Publie's Obedient Servants,

Everybody will regret the SUSPENSION and
sympathize with General Mattocks who Is so
highly esteemed i'll the State.-Augusta
Age.
Profound regret will be felt, throughout
the State at the intelligence that General
Charles p. Mattocks of Portland, has been
obliged to make an assignment for the bene-
fit OF his creditors. This has been caused by
the extensive liabilities of the Winslow
Packing Company, which General Mattocks
was carving. Ii is pleasant to know that
the farmers have all been paid for the corn
they have furnished the factories, and they
have always been used squarely by General
Mattocks MAINE Farmer.
