A BIG ENTERPRISE.
How Salt Lakers Secure the Best on
the Market.
Enormous Purchases by Walker Bros. &
Tyler Company-Most Elegant, Larg-
est and Best Ever Brought West
of the Missouri.

1t has become custom with the larpe
dry goods merchants of this city, period
ically to send an experienced buyer to the
eastern markets to purchase stocks of
goods suitable for this market at the diff
ferent seasons of the year. 1t is found
that this mode of procedure is preferable
TO doing the business by correspondence,
and up to within the last few weeks the
custom was to send a good all-round man
to make the purchases for the many de-
partments OF large dry goods business.
1t remained for the enterprising and wide
awake firm OF Walker Bros. q Fv-
Ter Co. to break the rule of send
ing one buyer to purchase for all
the departments. Consequently some
months ago, Mr.. Fyler, one of the princi-
pals OF the firm, went east himself on a
buying expedition, but not trusting alto
gether to his own knowledge, vast as it
IS, OF the wants and tastes of the Salt Lake
people, he was accompanied by the heads
OF the different departments of the
firm, amongst them Mr.. Adams,
Miss Bickel of the millinery de-
partment, Miss Harrington, head
of the dress making section and Mr..
Parker of the hosiery aud notion depart
ment, who with others have spent more
than two months in visiting the principal
manufacturing centers in the east, in
Guiding Chicago, New York, Boston,
Washington and other cities, and in Sc
scriptions especially adapted to the
growing taste for high class and elegant
goods which is found to exist among the
cultivated and refined ladies of Salt Lake.
Mr. Fyler and his corps of experts have
just returned to the city, and the goods
which they bought are daily arriving,
and vast display is now being made in
the store of this well known firm. The
total purchases made at this time amounts
to nearly S153 900, including about $40 900
worth Of silks and high novelties, which
are now on view and will delight the eyes
Of their discriminating and refined lady
customers. The new French sateens, the
silks and high novelties are superb and
by far the finest goods ever seen in Salt
Lake.
The millinery goods have been selected
by Miss Bickel, and include the latest
Partisan styles. There are over SIS, 900
worth in this department alone,
and it is without doubt the best
selected and most elegant stock of the
kind ever brought to the intermountain
region. Miss BIckel, with a host of as
sistants, is busiiy engaged in opening up
the goods and making arrangements for
grand opening to occur before Easter.
The designs in this department are new.
tasteful, refined and elegant, and the
grand opening will be an artistic display
The like Of which is seldom seen in any
city.
Walker Bros. & Fyler company not only
keep in the front ranks. but lead all
others in enterprise and push and in !
placing before the public the largest, best
and mos varied assortment OF goods pos
sible to be found. Mr.. Fyler is ever wide
awake and knows that his customers
must have the latest and best there is in
the market, and the goods now on hand
cannot fail to please persons of the most
tastes.
