NEW DRY Goods
SDTingStOCkNOV
Opened.

LADIES'
We take pleasure in stating to
youthat our spring of 1891 stock of
Dry Goods isnow upon our shelves
and counters.
1t will be a greater pleasure to
have you call and examine them.
A great deal was said last fall
about VIM. Mckinley and his fam
Gus bill. One would have sup
posed that said bill was long
enough to sap the very life out of
the people, especially the pur-
chasing consumer. Ifyou will call
at our store we will endeavor to
disabuse your mind on this ques-
ton.
We can sell better values in Dry
Goods this season for less money
than they cost us last year. We
are not going into a tariff or free
trade argument. The goods may
have been smuggled. If they
were.we don't know it; they came
to us in the regular way.
We think we have the finest dis
play of Dry Goods ever brought
&c this Nation and we ask an in
spection.
Respectfully Yours,
SKINNER, RATcLIFF & Co.
