HOW ABOUT YOUR CL0THEs2

business and pleasure are
ID combined in the introduction
to your notice of our new and ele-
CANT fall stock, and we can talk
business to you with an enjoyment
which you would heartily share if
you could stand with us, and pass
in review this extensive array of
new goods. We could hardly ex-
pect you to share our pride with
out having shared our plans. A
perfect stock, like a perfect build
ing, should be well planned, prop
erly proportioned, and be compos-
ed of the best material; and look
ing over our stock, we cannot help
feeling something like the archi-
tect's pride in its perfection. Moth
ing is haphazard. Our selections
have been made. with particular
care and peculiar reference to the
tastes of our trade. "a stock we'll
bought is half sold," says the pro-
verb, and you can appreciate, to
some extent, our pleasure, when
confidence in our goods gives US
the assurance that they have only
to be seen to be appreciated and
eagerly purchased. But, to be
more specific: The extent of our
stock is worthy of note. 1t is COM
plete in every detail. Everything
that you can expect to find in a
first rate house, you can find in our
store. Many times you will find
that store carries only a bare
showing in some departments just
enough to say, such a class of
goods is carried, when for all prac-
teal purposes the goods may as
well be left out of the program !;
such lack is there of styles, sizes,
etc. We wish to emphasize the
fact that not only have we COM
plete stock as whole, but each
department is complete in itself,
and includes stock which in every
case, is thoroughly representative
Of the best the market offers. Buy
ers will appreciate the freedom Of
choice, and the opportunity for the
exercise of individual taste and
preference, which our large stock
permits; including as it does, the
latest and most stylish novelties.
In styles, too, we make remark
able display, our goods being fully
and perfectly representative of all
the leading and favorite styles OF
goods. You must not overlook
the quality of the goods we offer.
We can best express our standing
on the question of quality by say
ing, in word that we keep only
the best. The best in every line
that can be offered for the price, is
what we engage to give every buy
er. 1t is what we demand as buy
ers; it is what we offer and engage
to give as sellers. No buyers of
our goods need never feel that pos
sibly they might have bettered
their bargins elsewhere. We make
bargains that cannot be bettered.
When someone can produce some
thing in goods that is better than
the best, or something in quality
that is higher than the highest, or
in price that is lower than the low
est, then we will take back seat.
But as nothing can be more than
the most, or bigger than the big
gest, we expect to wear our honors
as chief of bargain givers, as long
as we do business. And, what
about prices? Shall not we charge
for being SO careful of our custo-
mer's interests? No. Because the
interests of our customers are our
interests. Did you ever stop to
think how small difference there
was between the cost of good work
and bad, poor workmanship and
good workmanship? There is a
thread, say, costing four cents a
spool, but Of an inferior make. A
reliable thread can be purchased
for another half cent a spool, buy,
ing in quantities. Or here is a
slouchy workman, who asks a dol
lar for his labor, and another neater
workman asks a dollar and quar-
ter. Only thirty cents between
doubtful and warrantable work |!
We pay the extra price of good
work and SO sell the best goods at
lowest prices. A little jockey
looks even smaller on a large horse,
and our prices small as they are
when quoted, look even smaller
when you see the price attached
to one of our big bargains. You
must see them to believe. Call at
