they opened up. AS usual, they
pushed things for all they were worth
By doubling their regular advertising
space in the columns of the KENTUcK-
IAN they had such a rush OF custo-
mers to take advantage of the low
prices at which their goods We're quo
ted, that the eight statesmen and sales
ladies could not begin to wait ON them
indeed the crowd was SO great that
part of the time the eager customers
could hardly get inside the store. The
success Of this firm is almost phenom-
inal. The proprietors know the value
of printers ink, and know how to use
it to the very best advantage. Mr.. E.
b. Bassett, the general manager, is
recognized as one of the most saga
cious young business men in the city.
Everything he does is business-like,
and consequently they have more than
succeeded in their business.
H. B.GARNER,
who has SO long been identified with the
drug trade, always carries a large line
of fancy goods, and reports that his
special Christmas goods were disposed
OF in short order, though the stock
generally was not as fine as he has
heretofore bought but he got rid of
it without any trouble whatever.
MORRIS COHEN,
successor to N. B, Shyer, reports a
good trade, much better than he ex-
pected. He carries full stock at all
times and does not let anybody I'M
dersell him. Though he is one of our
new business men, he is fast building
up a large trade, and establishing a
reputation, not only for low prices, but
good goods.
MCKEE & co.,
"The Grocers," did larger business,
by several hundred dollars, than ever
before. No establishment of its kind
in the city carries a larger and more
varied stock. Everything is always
fresh and nice, the clerks are always
polite and attentive, and it is no won
der that the people went there to get
their Christmas supplies. Lem" new
err allows himself to be outdone, and
he always has just what you want.
PYE, DIcKEN WALL,
the popular clothicrs and gents fur
nishers, of course did their share OF
business. 1t will be "cold day in Au-
gust" when they don't. Col. John
Pye is a true blue" clothing man, and
for a number of years travelled for the
largest clothing houses in the United
States. He has many advantages il
his business and furnishes his owl
house with the most stylish and best
clothing to be had. Sam Dicken has
never done anything but sell goods
He knows just what will suit you and
gives you at all times the very best Of
bargains. Mr.. j 4. Wall was for several
years in business in Caledonia, and is
q splendid business man. Since he
came to this city he has made many
friends, and we can not point you to a
better man anywhere to deal with.
G. E. GATHER
made a very handsome selection OF
holiday goods. He says that last
Christmas trade was the best he has
had since he first went into business.
ROGERS & ELGIS,
tho new druggists, tell us that they
brought on very large and expensive
stock of goods for the holidays and
sold out entirely.
TOBIN 4 co.,
the merchant tailors, report them
selves as we'll satisfied with their trade
Tom Petree says they have done a
better business by far than they an
ticipated. They carry one OF the
largest stock of goods in Kentucky
and never fail to please.
HOosER s. BALLARD,
did very good business in the way
of Christmas goods. Their special
supply was very choice and went of
rapidly.
IKE LIPsTINE,
who suffered from the fire at the same
time with Randle g. Ely, says that
his sales we're larger by 100 per cent
than any other season. 1t was not
only smoked goods" that he sold, for
the purchasers took hold Of every
thing in the house eagerly. He had
a rush that did his soul good. He
still has some rare bargains for his
customers.
