SupefD Line OF UOOuS.
Stepping into the well appointed es-
adjustment OF y. Lehman, 1.-The Old
Reliable" and widely known clothier and
gents furnisher, il few days ago, we
were struck with the extensive stock he
has and the efforts he Is putting forth
to increase his trade in all its branches.
This does not look much like a man
who is going out of business said the
scribe, as the proprietor met him, his
face beaming with smiles, visions Of sell
ing fine suit of clothes or Il handsome
parlor or chamber set OF furniture doubt
less passing through his mind at the time.
.. Who is going out OF business: he
asked did you not have an idea OF
closing out and going to Richmond
awhile back was hequery put to HIM.
We'll, yes: | did think about such a
thing some months ago. But | have
changed my mind now and am going to
stay right here in Henderson. | desired
to go into other business and at one
time my mind was about made up, and
if | could have sold my property just then
there would have been one less clothing
merchant in Henderson. My trade has
been very good and is gradually increas-
ing every season, but | thought | saw
something better with less of worry
about the minor details of business,
and that was the only reason | had Tor
contemplating a move or change.
But as have already said have changed
my mind now and that settles it. l am
not only going to stay in Henderson
and continue in this business but L am
going to strengthen it in every depart
ment and if do not sell the goods it will
be the fault of the people and not Leh-
man. | have them here and OF such
variety and extent as has never before
been seen in Henderson. Come let me
show you.
At this we were taken through the en-
tire establishment from basement to the
fourth floor, and when the tour OF in
speciion was finished we were prepared
to say with Mr.. Lehman that he has the
goods-there is no question about that.
First we mention the clothing and gents
furnishing goods department. Here can
be found everythingin the line of fine and
medium grade clothing which only needs
to be seen to be appreciated. The four
pillars on which he rests his claims for
patronage are Variety, Quality, Style
and Low Prices On these four substan-
tial foundations he has built up an EN-
mense business in the past, and on them
he expects to rear an equal proportion
for the future While Mr.. Lehman has
ALWAYS been recognized as a leader in his
line his ability to serve the public this
season is something wonderful. A visit
to his store will repay you if you have
clothing to buy He has everything tit
for the purpose, in Dark Mixed Cassimeres
and Worsteds, Tricots, Corkscrews,
Diagonals and the popular and service
ables Black Cheviots, and his boast is
that he can save you enough on a suit
to pay for the minor articles such us
hats, furnishings, neckwear, gloves, &c.
In boys suits he has very inviting line,
to which the attention OF mothers is es-
pecialy called A full line that's. shoes,
cuffs, collars, dress and neglige shirts, a
beautiful assortment OF neckwear, light
pants, trunks, valises, &c.
In the millinery dry goods and no.
ton department Mrs. Lehman has a SUI
perb line to which she invites the atten-
ton of her lady friends, Everything in
trimmed and untrmmed hats, bonnets,
hat ornaments, flowers, ladies' dress
goods and trimmings, white goods, &C.,
all new, neat and cheap. Never before
has she offered such q nice, clean stock
of ladies goods, and millinery-every-
thing rich and beautiful, direct from
the worlds fashion centres.
Up stairs, in the furniture department
will be found complete stock of fine
medium and low priced goods, suitable
for parlor and bed room furniture, dress
ing cases, bureaux, wardrobes, wash
stands, tables, chairs, rockers, lounges,
writing desks, bookcases, hat-racks,
baby carriages, mattresses, wire
springs, &C., all styles and qualities-all
prices. Guarantee to please all. No
need to send off when you want any.
thing in the furniture line. Go and see
Mr. Lehman's stock.
Returning to the starting point, the
writer was fully convinced that Mr.
Lehman has abandoned whatever idea
he may have had at one time of leaving
Henderson. He is too we'll fixed, his in
terests are too large and his trade too
extensive to think of making what
would be to him very great sacrifice
on his part. He is a large property
owner, is thoroughly identified with the
growth and prosperity OF Henderson,
and will content himself with making
this his home the balance of his life, anC
continue, as heretofore, to give his Gus
toners the benefit of the best goods fol
the least money.
