The Largest Dry Goods House in
the State--Woifson Challenges
Comparison and Invites
Examination,

Examination.
Only those who have carefully ex-
amined into the methods and volume
of the dry goods business of l.. Wolf
son, of this city, can at all understand
demonstrated to be the leading dry
immense clothing house entirely out
of consideration, we find a retail dry
goods salesroom, 60x2O0 feet, in which
there is not one square foot of unOccu-
pied room, while all space is as tho
roughly economical as the most per-
feet system could devise. This vast
business is conducted under distinct
departments, each so separate from
the other as to be virtually distinct
store. The principal of these depart
ments are:
"Dress Goods"-Including all piece
goods for ladies wear, from richest
silks to cheapest muslins; also, laces.
embroideries, handkerchiefs, hosiery,
gloves aud underwear, in every va
riety of color, make and material.
House Furnishing Goods-Tablc-
wear and towellings of every grade,
plain and fancy, singly and by the
yard; spreads and quilts; curtains and
lambrequins.
Misunderstanding everything in
the way of shapes, plumes, tips, rib
mons; latest in style and best in quail
ity.
Leather Goods-As, ladies', misses
and childrens' shoes and slippers;
travelling bags and satchels. A COM
plete stock, best makes and most fash
iOnable styles.
Parasols-As full an assortment, as
well selected, and more reasonable
prices than can be found elsewhere in
the state.
Furniture-embracin full line of
carpetings of all grades; floor cloth of
all descriptions; mattings, mattresses,
rugs, ETC., etc.
These goods are all offered on their
merits, and at prices from ten to twen-
ty per cent lower than goods of the
same quality can be bought in any
other house in the southwest. An eX-
animation of goods and prices will
convince the ladies that this state
ment is strictly true, and for reasons.
Wolfson pays no rent, and he gives
his customers the benefit of the S, 600
or $4,000 year that would be swal-
lowed up in rentals. Wolfson buys no
piece goods. All goods are pur-
chased in bulk and the dis
counts on such purchases for
cash are also divided among his GUS
toners. His business is so thorough
ly systemized that it costs less to con-
duct it than many of not one half it's
volume. Wonder is sometimes ex-
pressed that Mr.. Wolfson never
quotes prices, When asked concern
ing this matter recently, he remarked,
"Why should 1? My regular Gus
toners knows my goods and my prices,
and they know they are fifteen per
cent cheaper than elsewhere. will
not follow that pernicious custom of
pretendency to close out stock, and
advertising goods lower than cost, for
it is all a deception and don't have
to-"
Wolfson never closes out stock. His
new goods are arriving every week in
the year, and his stock is always kept
full and with the latest styles in the
market.
His bundleing and forwarding de-
partment is little business in itself
He delivers goods at all hours of the
day, to all parts of the city; to the no.
tells and depOts, and makes no mis-
takes. TO those who have never Wis
tied this house, visit during the
business hours will repay for the
time thus spent. Gil 1t
