The D. NJ. Read Co.'S improvements.

For substantial realities in business en-
terprise, it is difficult to find the super
ior of the ID. NJ. Read Co. There is no
humbug about their advertisements, but
plain statement, short, well put and to
the point and, best of all, the stock in
their crowded mart is as clean and hon
est as its announcement.

mess prospers under these conditions, in
creasing in volume as "A satisfied public
find themselves courteously and honestly
treated. The latest change in this vast
bazaar gives an added gain of 100 feet
of shelf room and adds a new and fully
equipped department to the already ex-
tensive store.

treasurer, has mounted upward a story
higher and is located within the quarters
of J. A. Morris, which have been en-
larged for its reception. This removal

ings and cottona, in charge of Mr. Dews-
bury. which now extends from the foot
of the stairs to the cashiers desk, occu-
plying the north and west sides of the

State. On the east counter of this end
of the store and on the counters in the
center of this floor will now be shown
the colored wool dress goods, silks, black
goods nd Fall nnvaftinS in .h.,r #
MIR lloyt, under a good, steady light.

partment, on the north side of the main
stOre,is occupied by ribbons, laces, neck
wear and corsets. The notions depart

by the Main street entrance, in charge of
Mr. Blake, has been enlarged by the ad-
dition of full line of druggist supplies
like soaps, toilet articles and ii large line
of iewelry and now occupies nearly the
whole of the south side of the main store,
up TO the furnishing department. The

to the second floor, where one entire side
of the cloak department has been shelved
for its convenience. Ladies' will find this
location convenient and reserved The
cloak department has been newly carpet
