Boston Clothing, Boot and Shoe House.
Pendergast Block, Third Street.

In buying clothing or in fact many of
of the necessities of life, much has to be
taken on trust even by the most skilled
and cautious purchaser, for it is mani
testify practically impossible to rip coat
to pieces in order to examine into the de-
tails of its construction and finish. and
in no other way can a really adequate
idea of the worth of a garment be OBJ
tanned. So it is that it is truest econ
omy to deal only with established and
we'll known houses. and one of the most
highly regarded in the clothing line in
this city is that of w. o. P. Hilsdale,
whose place of business is in the Fender
CAST block on Third street.
The business demands the occupying
of two store rooms 22xsO feet, which
are the handsomest in the city, with
plenty of sunshine, and general air of
neatness and order that speaks we'll for
the systematic management of it's af-
fairs.
In boots, shoes and all goods coming
within this line the stock is most COM
plete, embracing the goods of the most
celebrated manufactures, and expressly
adapted for the trade, and the fullest or

Sank Centre justly boasts of establish
ments which are fully equal to anything
found in the larger cities of the state, and
without exception superior to those
found in other cities of equal age and
population.
In the line ofdry goods the magnificent
establishment of which Alexander Tully
is at the head, bears out these remarks,
which from the extent and variety of the
goods carried is popularity known as the
Boston Dry Goods House."
The line embraces dry goods, cloaks
and carpets, and is the resort of a large
class of patrons of particular tastes.
The salesroom occupied is in a large
two-story brick structure and is 27xSO
feet, and all available room is utilized to
accommodate the immense stock carried,
and everything in and about the estab-
lishment betokens the prosperous and ex-
perienced merchant.
So far as the character and extent of
the stock are concerned, it may be truly
stated that it is unrurpassed by any 9th
er contemporary concern in this part of
Minnesota, embracing every diversity in
dress materisls, from the cheapest dress
goods to the most expensive and superb
silk, velvet, satin and plush fabrics. A
beautiful line of shawls, nantes, wraps,
and jackets of every description, while
the display in carpets rugs and draper
les are most attractive-in short every
thing conceivable that could be properly
classed under these general hea dings.
The firm has brought it's extensive bus
ness into smooth working operation,
with thorough system of organization.
They are active and intelligent business
men, fully understanding every detail
and their aim is to cater satisfactorily to
their numerous customers as well as to
the public in general.
Messsrs. Alexander Tully and w. o.
P. Hilsdale are the individual members
of this responsible, representative firm,
and we cordially commend this enter
prise to the attention of those in need of
this class of mercnan dise, assuring them
as we can. that all business transactions
with them will be to the advantage of
of all concerned. The large and fine
stock is full and complete, and exhibits
rare good judgment in its selection, and
will repay the most fastidious cusom-

HENRY G. CAPSER
New York Bargain StOre.-Maiu
and Third Streets.


To know where to buy cheap is a
question that concerns majority of
our population who have to consider
closely the matter of expenditure in
every article of wear or consumption.
A novel method of conducting bus
mess has also always been cause OF
the attraction of the people.
Recognizing these all-important
facts. namely economy and novelty,
the New York Bargain Store comes
before the public prepared to meet
its wants in supplying goods, which
for excellence of quality and cheap.
ness of price, are unsurpassed by any
other establis hment in Stearns coun-
ty.
This business dates from last May
and has already attained a populari-
ty from which accrues large and
lucrative patronage. The store is
located on the corner of Main and
Third streets and is well stocked
with an innumerable collection of
b argains in all kinds of merchandise.
dry goods, carpets, rugs, draperies,
crockery, glassware, hosiery, notions
and very extensive line of fancy
and holiday goods.
1t would be impossible to anything
like enumerate the variety of arti.
cles on the FIVE, ten and twenty-five
cent counters, and a visit to the
store would call forth the question
as to -'how so desirable goods could
be purchased at these prices?"
A business of this nature is one re-
quiring great and ability on the part
of the proprietor in keeping up the
variety and general completeness of
the stock, and for this reason its sue
cessful opponents may be pe1tinently
classified among the most successful
merchants. All goods are sold for
cash or it's equivalent, and this is
why customers can 60 in with a lit
tie money and come out with their
arms full of goods, they getting the
advantage of the cash system over
slow credit. Mr.. Capser is after the
patronage of the masses, and the
splendid trade which he has enjoyed
from the start has more than equaied
his expectations. We know a visit
to this establishment will prove a
benefit to any one as bargains IN all
departments are to be found.

This position may he amply demon
