Of going without the COM
forts and luxuries of life-these
are the things that go far
toward making your life worth
living-when these comforts
and luxuries, and necessities,
too, can be obtained with so
little exertion, SO small an out
lay of money, and on such
easy terms.
The firm of P. ]. Walsh &
Co., with their immense stores
and warehouses in Philadel-
phia and Wilmington filled to
overhowing with everything in
the line of Furniture, Carpets,
Stoves, Housefurnishing Goods
and Wearing Apparel, and
everything heart could wish for,
are the pioneers in the credit
business and have established
a reputation for good goods
and fair dealing which cannot
be discounted.
They buy in large quanti-
ties, for cash, and thereby
securing heavy discounts are
able to sell on credit to the
consumer as low as other
houses sell for cash, and in
many instances much lower.
1t is one of their rules of busi-
ness to satisfy their patrons,
and any one purchasing goods
from them can return the
goods and get the money back
if they are not just as repre-
sented.
Now, we ask again, What's
the use Of going without the
comforts of life, when, with
the small payment of one dol
lar on a bill of ten dollars and
one dollar week you can get
almost anything you want, and
get it and use it at once. Give

flames along both sides Of the street until
more than two blocks OF buildings were
burned The houses were all frame Aruct-
ures and in few moments the fire was
beyond control. The high wind carried
the burning shingles long distances, and
az one time furious flames we're burning in
five different places, threatening the lower
part OF town near the steel works with de.
struction- The burgess teIeQraphed 30 this
city.for assistance Tive fire engines we're
sent 30 the scene, but their services were
not required
The houses were nearly al owned and
occupied by employees az the steel works
and the families OF laborers Very little
of their household effects were saved. Late
last evening all of the homeless had been
provided with temporary lodging places.
Today Manager Schwah, of the steel works,
began the erection of houses for his en-
ployes on the fire swept district. The loss
on buildings and household goods will ag-
