Removal of One of Our Leading Mer-
chants to Enlarged Quarters.
Mr.. H. Herbring has the announce
ment in today's CHRoNIoEE that he has
moved across the street into more COM
modious quarters in the French block
The necessity for the change is apparent
when one steps into his handsome store
and sees the piles of goods that are being
placed on the shelves and the quantity
yet unpaeked. 1t looks like prosperity
to see so fine stock in city of this size.
Mr.. Herbring now has a frontage OF
! twenty-five feet with depth of seventy
five, and every available foot of space is
being utilized. He has always kept a
handsome store but now that he has
more room in which to show his goods, it
will be more attractive than ever.
TWELVE YEARS AGO
Mr.. Herbring came to The Dalles and
went into the dry goods business and he
has never been in anything else during
his business life He had years of train
ing in the great dry goods houses of San
Francisco and Buffalo and come here
with perfect knowledge of what he was
going into. That he has been successful
goes without saying when we, can state
that he carried a stock of from $25, 900
to $4,000, which is bought direct from
the manufacturers. or such New York
houses as the II. B, Claflin Co., E. J..
Jaffrey or Swettser, Pembroke & Co.
Every year Mr.. Herbrirg goes last him
self to personally look over the market
and purchases the best that can be Sc
cured, suitable to the trade His extern
sive knowledge of the eastern dealers
has contributed to his success and has
been one of the means used to bring him
so prominently to the front.
IN BOOTS AND SHOES
His line is large and complete. He
carries the Hamilton Brown Co. shoes
and draws extensively on J. and T.
Cousins establishment for high grade
shoes. His boot and shoe trade is a
large one and is constantly growing.
THE sTETsoN HATS
Are carried by him as well as many
other brands and any person looking for
handsome headgear can find it at Mr..
Herbring's establishment.
GENTS FURNISHING GOODS
In fine assortment can be found there.
His stock of all goods in that line is
large and varied and the most fastidious
gentleman can find. something in Mr.,
Herbring's stock to please his fancy and
make him relax his purse strings if he
desires to be well dressed.
A CASH TRADE.
1t. would take too much space to
enumerate all the varieties of goods that
can be purchased at Mr.. Herbring's store.
He has any amount of dry goods with
which to please his lady patrons and his
prices are the principal drawing card.
He believes in selling for cash and by
charging so small profit that his GUS
toners prefer to pay the low prices asked
rather than let bills run and paw the
heavy charges that a, merchant must
have. where long credit is given. His
goods are worth all he asks for them and
his customers want them badly enough
to raise the money to pay when they
purchase.
THE CLERICAL FORCE.

Charles Fritz are Mr.. Herbring's valued
