iUsed 20 much uJa-H-3Ays on account
OF the cheapness of gasoline. In this

patrons. He has made the gasoline
stove the cheapest by far, ~ we'll as
the most desirable for this climate.
FURNITURE DEPARTMENT.
This department is large and well
selected, and would IN itself make one
Of Lae largest stores i'll the city.
There is nothing lacking to make il
complete. Mr.. Dlttlinger informed
the reporter that he was compelled to
carry "a very large stock Of furniture
in fact, larger stock than does the
average merchant, AS he did an eX
ten.ive wholesale business in cOnneC-
ton with the retail trade. A full line
OF elegant bedroom and parlor setS,
seltees, chairs and numerous other
pieces of furniture are displayed on

piled to thu ceiling with unpacked
furniture, all ready for shipment.
CARPET DEPARTMENT.
This department, like the balance,
is complete in every particular, having
in it st, les and patterns fir m the
cheapest to the fue.t. Also COM
plete line OF Lenol and Chinese
aud japanese matringS, which, by thr
wa,, are imported direct from China

he has over 200 rolls of mating on
the way now, which are of direct i'm
portations, and when they arrive he
will OFF, mattings at prices never

MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
In this department is to be seen q
complete liue Of musical instruments
and especially was it noted that the
pianos and organs were ConspicinuslN
and of the best makes too
In this line Mr.. Dittlinger carries the
Knabe piano, which is considered by
tile best musicians, to he superior to
any other make. The Voide COncerr
company will use no other at thti
performances. The renowned Hard
man piano, one of which the Queen OF
England recently had placed in Bal
moral Gas tie. and has since become
famous through the newspapers, are
also among the good makes Also the
New England pianos, four Of which
were sold to the Georgetown univer
sity some time ago, is a portion OF the
variety carried. There are forty-two

HOUSE FURNISHING DEPARTMENT..
1t would he impossible to treat thi>
as u separate department as it CON-
hines every other department, OF the
business. The house furnishing de-
partment of Mr.. Dittlinger's is not in
anyway like the majority of place.
who claim to do this kind of business,
and only carry few of the necessary
articles and are compelled to run all
over town to fill an order. He Carries
everything in stock and is always pre-
pared to furnish any kind of house
complete from kitchen t. parlor
This is probably saying a good deal,
hut it is fact nevertheless and look
through his store will prove to the
most skepDical that he has the good,
to back his assertions.
"You see," said Mr.. Dittlinger, "I
buy my goods BY the carload lots. |
