M,INrYRE,s BUSY srORE.

"A busy mart is the store Of Even
Mcintyre & Co. during these days when
all New Haven is shopping. During
the week the sales of this great dry
goods emporium have far exceeded any
thing ever realized in it's history. Mon
day was a record breaker as to sales
and each day since has been a COM
parison to it. On Monday the sales
were $1,000 more than on the CORE
spending day last year. Seven delivery
wagons and three large trucks have
been employed during every day deliv-
ering the goods about town. AS none
of the sales consisted of furniture the
large quantity of goods sold can be
appreciated by the conception of the
vast amount of goods that may be de-
livered by such force. Mr.. McIn-
tyres teams Were busy at a late hour
this morning delivering the purchases
made yesterday by the hundreds who
visited the store.
