Business-His Popularity and Fair Deal
ing Mako Him Many Friends.
1t requires courage discretion. astute-
ness md confidence In your fellow-man to
successfully conduct the In5talment or
Credit Business of to-day. Inthe world Of
trade. no branch Of industry has appealed
moro successfully to popular favor In re-
cent years than the one to which we make
reference. And we have no hesitancy in
saying. that the methods and results OF
the Instalment Business in our city have
not only become popular, but deservedly
so. This house of Mr. Edward II. Brennan
established and conducted (until recently)
under the flrm-name OF Philip j. Walsh d
Co., at 500 Market street, has contributed
materially In not only placing their popu.
lar system of trade upon reliable and
honorable basis, but (this house) has been
instrumentali In the Inauguration OF re-
forms by which the obnoxious features
that once proved such q detrlment to the
Instalment Business have been almost en-
tirely eliminated.
Since its inception leading and COM
mendable object OF this house has been to
elevate generally the standard OF mer-
chandise, and at the same time to 30 ad-
Just their prices, that their patrons might
not only have the benefit OF their credit
system, but besides enjoy every other ad-
vantage offered by the most exclusive
| cash house. This house claims that
neither in prices or quality Of stock do
| they differ from cash houses, the only dis
tinguishing feature between the two being
the method OF doing business the one ex-
| tending liberal credit to all desirable
trade the other requiring immediate
payment for all purchases. 1t is nolonger
4 possible to estimate a mans financial
worth by the quality Of his home sur
roundings or from his personal appear
ance, as the business enterprise OF Mr..
Edward II. Brennan, late successor to
| Phillip j. Walsh a. Co., has made 1t not
only possible, but put 1t easily within the
reach of every honest mechanic and work.
ing gman to surround himself with not
only the necessities but the comforts and
luxurles OF home life.
In some one of the many departments
OF this extensive house every possible
household need can be supplied, 1t mat

Wraps each represent separate and dis

choicest offerings OF the market
| Throughout their large stock you will
find hundreds OF articles that do not prop
erly belong to any of the. depart
ments named-a miscellaneous collection
| OF teadtiful and ornamental rs well as
useful goods. The Millinery Department,
under the superintendency of lady of
unsurpassed skill and originality Of de-

| the business of this house.
II has for its patrons ladies of the most
| refined tastes who are attracted by the

this department
In locking through the splendid Cloth
ing stock OF this house, and examining
carefully how thoroughly well made and
tr.mped were the different articles of ap-
parel, we could but confess to measure
of surprise at the degree OF perfection TO
which the ready-made clothing business
has attained.
Much OF the second floor is required for
this branch one OF the most popular and
best Latronized throughout the large es-
tablishment. Every weight shade, color,
and style were represented IN the large
stock-popular chevlots, reliable Bannock-
burns, sturdy Cassimeres, dressy cork
| 6eIows In prpfusion, double and single
| hrehsted cutaway sacks, one, three and
fourbutton cutaway froclis, full dress and
| the over popular Prince Albert were u few
OF the styles noticeable. Light coors
! specially adapted to the present season
were seen in many shades. The ladies'
will find special delight in looking through
the Boys and Children's Clothing Depart
ment on tho same floor.
The collection Is In every way worthy
of this house, and embraces the very
choicest productions OF the present sea
son. Every possible taste wo think can
here be pratified, as the variety to us
seemed endless, and prices ranged from
3,50 to and dollars.
In the mems clothing we saw good
strong suits as low as Sand dollars,
while sl0 purchases a dressy, all wool,
black corkscrew with color guaranteed
We can say, and with all candor that tho
house of Mr.. Edw. II. Brennan, 506 Market
street, has become to the people OF our
city business necessity, and no enter
prise in our midst would be more surely
missed, and none to-day is receiving a
moro generous bestowal Of popular favor.
They would impress upon every honest
man aaid woman in Wilmington their will
hngneas and readiness to extend them the
benefit of their credit system, and assure
them at the same time of their ability to
supply everything you can possibly need
for your home, or for your personal wear,
and at prices us low as they can be pur-
chased anywhere In Wilmington, with or
without the cash.
