Mr.. Bell does not guarantee to present
each visitor to his sales with fine pho
tograph nor an order for new dress, but
he thinks he will be able to offer such
bargains in the way of furniture, paint

chasers at his sales will feel able to dip
freely into the photograph and dry goods

The large wareroom is now filed with
