Of Centennials, begun here in
1876, ended in New York yes

A few figures for the store. If
you please. They refer to the
retail alone, and are sympto-
matte.
Floor space IS acres, 500
horse power in steam-engines
soon to be largely increased,
go electric lights, Of which 4Io
are large arc lights, Ias horse
power steam pumps capable Of
lifting $4,000 gallons Of water
an hour. 5000 people on the
pay-rolls, 10 horses in the
stable. These are some Of the
leading figures by which you
measure the retail store SO ia

are left to you.

ganization is the mental-intel-
lectual-of which the European
corps is by no means the least.
Nine able merchants, some of
them eminent merchants, are
securing Europe for the things
you will want to find next Fall.
They are not quite done yet
with Spring.
Here comes a single box
from Paris. Another small as
sortment Of the choicest French,
Dress Patterns. They supple
ment and complement their
predecessors. Is it not worth
something to you that these
dresses are "exclusif?" The
constant infusion Of freshness
in our Novelty Dress Goods
keeps the stock ever bright and
fair.
This is happy Spring (to
us) in Dress Goods. 1t has
been a successful season. All
the conditions have been and
are here-especially judgmen,
and taste. The store is big,
but you must remember that
bigness retires before goodness
here. Therefore our pride is
less that we bave the bigges,
stock Of Dress Goods than that
we have the best.
A careful study, compare.
tive analysis of Challis shows a
stock here that ought to be tie
envy Of every dealer, the goal
of every buyer. The same is
true of each and every stock
throughout the house.
Southwest of centre.
The Mecca of Millinery,
trimmed and untrimmed, rib
bons, trimmings, and flowers

toned dress shade satin Rib
bons at IS cents, the tinsel
Brocade at 40 cents, each about
two-thirds off, and the half
priced black Velvets make
things livelier, if that were pos
sible.
