William Albrecht, furniture:-'D0 has
been by far the most prosperous year we
have experienced in this city. From
Jan. LIST trade increased daily, this beng
entirely due to the growth of our city,
as there was, with the exception of the
mining towns, very little trade from the
country. We look for a great increase
of trade hereafter and will more than
double our stock and to get more store

now occupy.

more than satisfied with the results for
the year just ended.
Judd Bros, Merchants Restaurant
We opened our place late in the season,
but have nc cause for complaint. Bush
ness is fairly good and, while WI may
have a dull spell after this holidays, we
anticipat a rustling business in the early
spring.
Harry Ringwald, The Jewel-r:--In my
opinion Great Falls is a most remarkable
city for its age. In tact it has been a sur
prise to me how my business has grown
for the past year. There has been a
greater demand for a finer quality of
goods than ever before. During the hol-
ldays / have sold more diamonds and
fine goods than during the previous years.
My store | consider a credit to any east
ern city, and believe my efforts certain
ly merit success. l look forward to a
most prosperous New Year.

Churchill g. Webster, Drugs, Medicines
Groceries, etc.,-ln regard to business
past, present and future would say that
the past year has shown a great increase
over any previous in the drug and
groceries line. Merchants here are all

stock of everything in their respective
line and are we'll prepared to sell goods
as low and take care of the large and
rapidly growing trade rs they are in any

Strain Bros.-Woulds say when we started
in business here in March last we were
in doubt a little regarding the town so
did not put in a very large stock; put in
principally groceries but as the summer
advanced we saw hat we were on the
verge of a unprecedented time OF pros
perity and We secured a location on Cen.
trail avenue and put in a mommoth stock
of dry goods. We have already pur-
chased an unusually large stock of
spring goods and believe the city will
justify it.

Andrew Jensen:-What do l think of
the clothing business OF Great Falls 7
Well, as far as my experience goes, |
think Great Falls is an exceptionally
good clothing town. BY that l mean
that there is more good clothing sold
here than any other city of its size l have
ever visited. During the time l was
