HE increasing success of
this business is easily ex-
planned. We never try to mis-
lead any one, and we offer only
fresh, desirable goods. Three
things are necessary in order
to command every advantage
obtainable in the different mar
kets-Capital, Organization
and Outlet. We have all
three, and with them we strive
increasingly to procure all
kinds of merchandise din ectly
