their wares here for holiday trade. The
most difficult buyer can find no fault after
Il research among the stores. Prices seem
10 be within the reach OF every one Do
you know if every person only bought their
goods from Washington stores, We would
have as prosperous commercial center as
any other city i'll the union. In unity
there is strength. Keep your money at

own merchants. They have made careful
selections of imported and domestic articles

they ask the people to come and see what
they have. There is so much buying done
in other cities by our resident population
