gentleman who has recently returned
to this city after a sojourn oisomc months
in the large cities OF the east, states posi-
lively that the priees and qualities OF the
wares exhibited In the show windows OF
this city prove tina, the shopper can do
almost II not quite as well here as IN
Chicago, New York or Boston
The large retail dry goods stores OF
this city, in the completeness OF their
stocks and appointments, the elegance Of
their salesrooms, and in every other res
peci, compare very iavorably with what
the shopper will lind In eastern metro
politan cities. A similar statement might
be made OF our clothing stores, with the
added remark that customer who Is a
stranger, and not shrewd or experienced
IN purchasing clothing, Is much less liable
to be imposed upon by the dealers OF this
city than he would be by those OF an
eastern metropolis.
Tho retail shoe trade here has been
represented for some years past, by
number OF dealers who are especially
enterprising in their business methods.
They have competed sharply with each
other. and have SHOWN TO their patrons
goods as elegant and stylish as could he
found In the east. The re'ah purchaser
OF thin class OF goods can always get his
moneys worth in this city.
Our leading furniture and carpet stores
are elegant establishments, and are al
ways able to supply the most wealthy
and fasudious OF their customers, as well
as the poor man, with any article In the
line Of house furnishings. Owing TO con-
ditions not necessary here to describe,
the hardware trade OF this city has al
ways been heavy, and there are several
hardware stores here which are really
mammoth concerns.
But no class OF business houses In this
city are a greater credit to It than the re-
tail grocery stores. In this respect Il. is
probably true our people are better scrV-
cd than arc those OF the large cities OF
the east. In most OF the after the tamil
les OF given neighborhood depend upon
''thc corner grocery" which i generally
an ill.kept, illstocked, illsmelling and
ill.lavored affair. But In Salt Lake there
are plenty OF iull-stocked, well kept,

and will be promptly delivered az the
