True, 1t takes money and experience to
carry line Of goods large and varied
enough to supply the wants of such. a
trade as he has, but this Mr. Collar is
abundantly able to furnish. A look
through his large and elegant establish

Chairs of every known style and make,
Pictures and Picture Frames in endless
variety. and. in fact, everything in the
furniture and musical line that there is
likely to be demand for,-which. for
elegance, variety and prices, is seldom
equalled and never excelled by any fur
hlture house in southwestern Kansas
Mr.. Collar has especially selected his
stock for the holiday trade, and, if we
are to judge by the busy scene which
greeted our entrance to his store last
