A Few Pointers on Our Idea OF Things.

Every one has purchased piece of fur
niture for solid mahogany or walnut, only
to find after awhile that the thin veneer
has cracked and cheap work is exposed to
view. Now the dealer is much TO blame
in not showing up these things to his Gus
toner as they look over the stock. for it is
a we'll known fact that all dealers carry
both reliable goods and cheap material in
stock at the same time. No one can deny
this. We guarantee to show you every
good and bad point. Our line of furniture
Is complete-in fact we have the largest
furniture emporium in the state. If you
think your old furniture is looking shabby
come in and we will show you the incest
line of new goods, in latest styles and pat
terms, and also tell you way to dispose of
your old goods. Did you know that we
are selling our carpets just a little cheaper
than any place in town? Well. that's what
our customers tell us and We think il
must be a fact Well, come in and visit
us and we will tell you more about it.

A NEW FIRM.

This being the time when
every person is trying to
economic and save all the
money he can, our New
METHOD of doing business
ought to take quick like
WILD FIRE. Having bought
for a mere song the few
shoes left at the City Shoe
Store, we are now receiving
a bran new stock of the best
quality of Ladies, Mems
and Children's shoes, bought
very cheap for cash, and by
our NEW METHOD of doing
business, by selling shoes at
a very small profit. we ex-
pect to double and triple, in
a very short time, the trade
the City Shoe Store former
ly had.
We will carry no cheap,
shoddy shoes. All our shoes
are warranted. We invite
every person to call. exam.
inc and price our elegant
line of new shoes. and you
will be convinced that we
are telling the plain, unyar-
nished, solid truth when we
say that we are selling shoes
at about half the price that
you have formerly paid for
the same class of shoes.
Mail orders solicited: and
remember that by our NEW
METHOD $500 to $3.50 buys
an elegant French Kid
Lady's Shoe or Oxford; and
from So to 81 buys an ele-
CANT hand made kangaroo,
French Calf or Hamburg
Shell Cordovan Mems Shoe.
These prices will knock into
splinters the 100 per cent
profit usually obtained by
shoe dealers.
Terms strictly cash and
one price only.
