: our birthday and
YEARS we point with
o--@ pride to the fact
that we are eleven years old.
Each of the years brough
us new experience in the
clothing line; each ofthese
years has taught us what
our customers desire. We
have endeavored by hon
est goods, fair prices and
no Misrepresentation to
build up a business in
Delaware, and we have
succeeded beyond our ex-
pectations. Profting by
the experience of former
years We intend to climb
yet higher and to that end
we have collected a stock
of clothing for men, youths
and children, such as we
never have had before.
We would be pleased to
see our friends in order to
show them how big we
really are and we are con-
fdent that they will be
more than pleased and
surprised at the extent of
our establishment.
