emerged from one Of the best appointed and
best conducted barDer shops in the country.
4 If Polly ever wants any hair dressing done
she should be sure to 60 there.
Returning to Polly, Uncle Josh suggested
resort to some place Of refreshment and
they betook themselves to VIM Viereck s
cafe, where they regaled themselves on
oysters and ice cream as delicious as the
epieurean dreams Of the gods, :" so Polly de-
clared. Aud buthfully, too, Polly was
literally loaded down with packages of
choice CONNECTIONS and native and foreign
fruits while the gentlemen INDUCED in 6ue
cigar
At the refreshmeut table Uucle Josh waxed
Philosophical. Never neglect your larder,
said he, that important adjunct Of house
keeping controls masculine temper, To
that end you must patronize a grocer on
whom you can depend for honest goods.
n Through a long term of years have found
f. NJ Shockley perfectly reliable. You are
surest to fud him a careful dealer, ALWAYS
+ full stocked with every possible thing in the
, line of staple and fancy groceries, hrst and
first class, no shelf-worn goods there, while
the prices are down to brass tacks.
"Where had we better buy our fuel?
asked Charles, whose mind was constantly
turned to the practical "Why, of r. c. &
]. a, Hall of course; ought to have thought
of that. They handle all kinds of the best
grades of hard and soft coal and wood and
for a long business acquaintance with them
I can personally guarantee that you may de-
pend on getting full weight and measure
aud the lowest market price. This firm
pTides themselves on their good reputation
in that line.
Lets see-I promised you gold watch,
didn't II" queried Uncle Josh of Polly 1
''The place Of all places in town is Henry
Erbsmehl's, so Wen go there" Entering
the popular jewelry store, the old man gall |
antly acquitted himself of his promise, and |
! then directed Polly's attention 10 the super |
/ ior stock of silverwear carried by the house /
/ There is no other such stock in Milford, - /
said the old man, Haud I will guarantee the 4
quality to be of the very best. Pick out 4
1 your family clock while here" he added, 4
sMr Erbsmehl carries a magnificent line
Don't forget another fact, y he continued, "if /
ever you unfortunately need optical goods, /
this is the place to come. He has every
thing required to improve affected eyes and /
TO determine the required treatment"
"And Uncle, do look at my old cloak it
is really shabby" Been thinking about
it. " laughed the old man. so we'll go to the
centre Of fashion. Mrs. S. E. Reedy's store,
where you can find all the latest and popular
styles in ladies' jackets and cloaks. And a
fue stock she has, too, for It was selected by
an experieu ced buyer. She has good va
riety to select from, and guarantee satisfac-
tioE in fit, stvle, workmanship and price
Besides, Mrs Reedy has one Of the most
elegantly displayed store in Delaware and
Won viii, certainly enjoy a visit TO her store"
"Wen leave Polly here for a few mo-
meutsn said Uucil Josh to Charles, while
vou and visit the cigar store of las ii.
Iatchum. He carries the very best brands
on the market" said he, and his popular
itv along with the fine quality of his goods
has given him fun sway-ii7 i7 tiie the local trade"
On entering the store Uncle Josh made
Charles a present of a box Of fine cigars, and
on their return to Polly she remarked that !
she didn't care how much they smoked so {
long as they bought of Mr.. Latchum.
The gentlemen remained away Just long t
enough to let Polly commence thinking
of a new hat, and on their return she asked
"Uncle, where can 1 find the leading mill
inery establishment" lust a few doors
further down, " remarked Uncle Josh, 'and !
we will visit Mrs, Z G. Gray, who by the !
way, has on hand one of the completest I
stocks of millinery to be found in the town. Z
You can get lust what you want there, The d
Latest STYLES and Lowest Prices being her e
motto She has that experience which guar I
antees that when you have once purchased 4
of her you have the proper thing at the low c
est possible price Aud few hours later Il
there was never happier lady than Polly. G
Passing down the street Uncle Josh passed Il
before a handsome drug store. Here is ?
drug store, conducted by Ed
Brown; they may prove to be valuable ac- I 8
1uaintances " 'But Uncle, we don't--" y
7Oh, I know, you don't need medicine now, L
and imagine you never will, but 1 reckon it
won't be unreasonably long before this
young man will be taking decided interest
in the matter Of paregoric and" ''Uu-
cler' "Well, well, come in; sometime you
nav want a prescription compounded and II
his is the place They are competent phar- nj
nacists, employ only trustworthy assistants, b.
md sell only the purest drugs and med 0
cines."
II would like TO make YOU acquainted
With DR.. J. G. Emerson. my dentist friend, al
90, h" said the old man, 'If you ever have Sc
o suppliment natural teeth" "Ugh o
Don't you mention false teeth to me!' cried
Polly. 'I1l never carry 'pearly lies in nv
mouth if go toothless." "Oh, as for that1
aughed Uncle JOSH eff you'll only consu -
good dentist in time, you can save that
DR.. Emerson, for Instance, is
expert in saving natural teeth,
md he has skill and every mechanical ap-
1liance necessary to do his work with the
east discomfort to his patrons.
"Oh" exclaimed Polly as they halted be-
ore a show window ''what a perfectly love
v slipper" YES" said Uncle Josh, ]. P.
Stewards boot and shoe stock can't be "
.qualled in style or extent in this section W
,ome in and look it over" Il might have 6;
rave been policy not to have extended that 81
had not Uncle Josh known how M
wise economysit is to trade at the Steward
Store for Polly found goods and prices so
that she purchased an outfit from
ATTN slipper 10 a handsome walking boot W
Charles invested in a gents fine shoe, while
Uncle Josh indulged in stout farm boots.
No one needing footwear can resist the .,
,tyles and prices at the Steward shoe srore. ~
teWho Is good horse-shoer, Uncle?' asked q
Charles. 'You know how particular I am
bout my mare Kitty" Jess so; you
want no botcher about her, ,'said Uncle Josh. &C.
Well, there's only one hrst-class horse
ihoer in town to my notion, and that's Ar
hur Russell. He understands perfectly the
of a horses foot Just what
lind of shoe is needed, aud how to make
md put it on. A frst-class blacksmith, too,
ie is the man to give your repairing and 3,
specially your wagon aud buggy work to.
4e cannot be beat ia that line of repairing.
"What an exquisite monument exclaim-
d Polly, as they PASSED the W. V. Spple
marble works. 'eYes, said Uncle Josh. "this
irm leads in their art, both in beauty of
heir designs aud the artistic perfection Of =
heir carving. Their work is as near fault y"
ess as human skill can accomplish that re-
nit And they are very moderate in their =
,rices too, 1 don't believe, actually, that
here is marble dealer in Delaware who
an touch them on figures, or give better
etisfaction for the money"
The undertaking and embalming business
# Milford and the surrounding country is
practically in the hands Of my friend Wm
} Powders, said Uncle Josh, as they all III
we're once more seated in the carriage, 81 A
AVE known Mr.. Powders for a number of II
ears and am glad to say that he is the right
nan in the business. After making a few
more visits we'll go around and make you
Mr.. Powders carries a nice line
f goods Of every grade, in fact the incest
he market affords and in order to better ac-
ommodate his customers has one of the
.icest hearses in the county.
