Trade { AtHome.

In the existing condition OF affairs IN
Crystal Falls there is naturally a dis
position on the part OF our citizens to
spend their dollals in the place where
the greatest value can be had for the
amount OF money expended This desire
should not he too harshly criticised in
times when silver dollar looks as large
as cart wheel, but that which is to he
grcuiiy depiorci Is the iact that n large
amount OF money Is being sent out OF
town in the purchase OF supplies. when
the same money would purchase equal,
il not greater vaues right mt
our doors. Such a practice is not
one that will make n town 'good,"
nor improve depressed conditions.
Every dollar expended outside OF Cry
stal Falls strips the town OF just so
mitch circulating money. These state-
ments made in regard to the purchasing
power ol dollar Mt home, are not mere
guesses, Ms we have been authorized by
Mr.. Martin Bach to state that any bill
Of supplies purchased in Chicago or
other outside markets will be duplicated
at his store. Protection is policy that
works well everywhere and certainly
should not be forgotten Mt home

Holmes has been park employee and

alleges that his late employee would not
work, the foreman of every park where
he was assigned insisting, after short

also accused by Meserve of having
banked upon his membership and infu-

unruly he might become. Holmes was

Lead ing Draper of the City-Exciusive Jobber
In Lino.cum, 1atting and Rugs
The advent of Charles A. Judd as q re-
tail dealer in carpets and tapestries in
this city marks an epoch in the fine art
trade which has come to Los Angeles by
reason of it's phenomenal growth and Co.'S
mopolitan character. In every city OF
any considerable size throughout the
county there has come to be established
a concern similar to that of Mr.. Judd, in
which the fabrics of Europe and America,
such as are used for interior decoration
and finish, are placed before the public
direct from the man ufacGurer. 1t is dis
tinctly feature of metropolitan trade,
and such a feature as determines the
| character OF trade center. Through
out the east establishments like that of
Mr.. Judd are not uncom m on, but in the
west they have only come with recent
years. 1t is probably not too much TO
,, say that the n,wly opened Broad way
establishment has not peer on the Pa
| cific coast.
| In opening the new establishment Mr..
| Judd brings into requIsitiop the advantage
| OF ye ars of careful training and exper-
| fence in the particular line. He was for
many years engaged in the same line in
| the city OF San Jose. He has also had
many years experience in the wholesale
| trade, which fits him especially for the
| conduct of his line.
| With the changes which have come to
| business within recent years, no feature
! is more marked than the tendency to-
| ward the prominence of art idea in fab
RIGS. tapestries and rugs. Beautiful. even
classical designs are now attainable,
where few years ago they could not be
! obtained for any price. This remarkable
! change IS due, in great measure. to the
| cultivated taste which is the result of
| training exactly like that which Mr.,
| Judd has enjoyed. Such men have
learned, by years of careful study, just
! wnat the public taste demands, and have
insisted that producers give to their
| trade these things.
The establishment of Mr.. Charles A.
| Judd is located in the newly erscted
Hallett and Pirtle block at the corner of
| Broadway and Fourth street. The store
room is fittod up in a manner to meet the
| highest requirements of art decoration.
! The spacious apartment is we'll filled
| with a carefully selected stock of choice
| products of American and European
looms, and so artistically displayed as to
