from the decorations, which are of the
most elegant and attractive order, vari-
Gus other substantial Improvements, ad-
ded for the purpose of convenience give
to the establishment an up to date APP
pearance rarely seen in a town of Gus
ter's population. Especially noticeable
and attractive is their large hat display,
embracing over a hundred STYLES Of

upon shelving inclosed by glass doors,
the surplus stock, in boxes, occupying
,"~ o-"~ .ts@Nf "h~ve ~t.i.l.i - -~a.ai-
ty, would seem TO be sufficient TO meet
the requirements of the entire Hills.
This magnificent store room is the pride
of the town, and will well repay a visi.
for the sole purpose of fsasting the eye
upon its grandeur, TO say nothing of the
rare bargains offered in the respective
lines of goods carried by this ever ac-
tive and wide awake firm.
