If we lay less stress upon the cheap
ness of our clothes than upon their eX-
cellence, it does not follow that they
are dear. Take the Fall Overcoats
and Suits for which we ask SlS to $50.
We could easily have cheapened them
by sl1imping the patterns, lowering the
quality OF trimmings and price OF
making. The garments would at first
look about as they now do; our profit
could remain the same, and you'd
apparently save several dollars on a
purchase. But after awhile the defects
would develop and where'd be your
saving! Hadn't you rather pay a
little more at first. for full satisfaction
in the end2
Unless our rightly-made clothes give
you the equivalent Of their cost in
service, we don't want to keep your
money. Consider it here on deposit
until the clothes earn their price.
Stores open this evening.
Residents OF Brooklyn and Jersey City who would
naturally prefer to warIen-s store will find

Mr.. A. Shearer, of Belmont town
ship, informs us that MIR. Sullivan Of
that township believes he has coal on
his farm and has employed a man to
bore a hole in the ground and test
the matter. He has already gone
down about fifty feet and has discov-
cred strong symptoms of coal. We are
glad to see these prospecting tests
made. IF Orleans, Nebraska, has a
VEN of coal seven feet in thickness
As feet below the surface, we prob
ably have coal here. 1t may however
be farther from the surface than at
Orleans. Parties who bore prospect
ing holes ought to be prepared to go
down several hundred feet
