An Interesting Little Story.

An old gentleman strolled into No. Bishop block, last Saturday morning and said that he had been out West for the last p years and only returned, last Mon- day. It seemed rather strange here af- ter so many years absence-so many of his friends were dead and gone-and so he talked, bringing up many pleasant and interesting "reminiscences, but finally he came to the object of his visit. He had been examining the advertising columns of the Bridgeport papers and was very much surprised and indignant to see so many statements that he knew were un- true. He said that he had fair share of common sense and that told him that deal CTS could not afford and were not selling goods below cost every day in the week. But what had grieved him most was to come across the name of Henry N. Ayres amongst those advertising special sales. He had known Mir Ayres when a boy and had always taken good deal of interest in him. He had spent sleepless night and decided to call and remonstrate with him on the evils of his course. MT Ayres 1 told hlm that ne dld not seem to under stand the case. He did not pretend to sell goods below cost every day in the week, neither did he advertise to sell all of the goods i'll his store on special days, but he had certain grades of goods which he wished the people to become better acquainted with. For that reason, he of fered such goods to the public on certain days, below cost, feeling sure that every pair sold meant d customer gained, who would come back and pay the regular price of the shoe. The old gentleman saw the point and as Saturday was the day Mir Ayres sold all of his gents S6 50
 lace shoes for $4, he called for a pair, was fitted, purchased them and went away happy ill the possession of d fine pair of shoes, four tickets on the piano and sew ing machines and the knowledge that II. N. Ayres was just such man Is he ap- proved of Bridgeport News.
