The following conversation was over
heard between two ladies ut the Manga
tuck depot:
NY dear Miss Wilmct, am very glad
to meet you. When did you leave An
sonia
Why, Mrs. Norman, am delighted to
see you. A sight of your kind face and
the thought that l shall have your com
pany home is n real rest to me, for ] am
completely worn out with shopping. You
know Julia is to be married next month,
and came up to Waterbury this morning
to buy the furniture for her new home. |
went to every other store in the city, and
finally to the Waterbury Furniture Co.
and am so provoked at myself that | did
not 20 there ut first, instead of wasting my
time and strength in going around to ali
the other stores, for | found there just
what wanted and at such prices! Why,
every thing they have are regular bar
gains, every one of them. | did not much
believe | should like them, for they adj
vertise in such queer way, and, when
went in to their South Main street store
the salesman who came to wait on me was
rather stout man and 80 awtully
homelv. But | liked to trade with him
real well, he was so polite and accommo-
dating, and seemed to know just what
wanted. l bought an elegant antique oak
chamber suit in 10 pieces for $1,000, and
just think of it a beautiful silk plush
parlor suit of pieces for only S35. 90, and
such II love of a center table for only So. so.
/ shall buy al my furniture of them in
the future, and send all my friends to
them besides. And such Il beautiful
Quaker range it is nice enough to put i'll
the parlor, and
Just here the train came putting along
and we lost the rest of the story.
But it shows what one customer thinks
of the Waterbury Furniture Co., and why
it is we are constantly increasing our trade
and growing in favor with the people.

You'll be quite apt to open your
eyes little wider than you usually do
when you come to look at our fall suits.
You won't need to be a clothing ex-
pert to see at glance that they are
superior to anything we have ever
offered. You couldn't improve this
appearance, but they can and will i'm
prove yours. Another point you will
appreciate-while the quality has i'm
proved the price has gone lower, never
in the history of the clothing business
were prices as low as now, and cloth
ing as good-as least the kind we keep,
the rightly made kind, the economi-
cal kind for you to wear.

of cuts or fashion plates used solely
because they are cheap. Ladies
purchasing the "Favorits Fashion

YEAR since the Mckinley tariff went
into effect We may respectfully
iuou,re what it's effect has been. The
organ OF the manufacturers club OF
Philadelphia finds that. although
the outward conditionsof trade, and
especially those relating to the food
crops and the foreign demand, are
extremely fattering, yet business is
not good. 1T may fairly be doubt
ed" it says, III at any time in any
country conditions have existed
more favorably than those that now
rreseut themselves in the United
ytates for the doing OF great and
vrosperous business Then. in the
next ensuing paragraph 1t says:
and yet 1t is an incontest"ble
fact that, while the volume OF busi-
ness is large and increasing, and
while many new enterprises are be-
ginning, there are in important
branches Of industry inactivity, tim
iditv and inability to realize fair prof
it from carefully directed effort
All the trade journals agree with
tb. manufacturing in describing the
condition of general business as un-
satisfactory. 1t appears, therefore
that the Mckinley tariff, whatever
else may be said of it, has moi
brought in period of prosperity
