champions of the breed in both coun-

an Arab with the size, substance. speed
and lasting qualities of the English

the Arabian stations and thoroughbred
mares have never been able to accom-
plish anything on the track or in the
breeding stud. and hence all attempts

FOSTER, BESSE & co.
AN OLD AND WELL ESTABLISHED CLOTH
ING FIRM.

THE survival of the fittest" is aaterm
that has been at times used somewhat
Unfortunately. There is no mistake,
however, in applying it to Foster, Besse
& Co., the well known clothiers, for by
their splendid business methods they
have survived every clothing house that
competed with them when they started
in business twenty-five year ago. When
business house continues to please its
customers for almost quarter of GEN.
fury and at the same time keep increas-
ing its stock, only one conclusion can be
arrived at. They must sell goods for low
prices.
The late P. T. Barnum is credited
with saying that you may fool some of
tue people all of the time and all of the
people some of the time but you cannot
fool all of the people all of the time.
This is true. A concern may succeed in
making one sale and at the same time
take advantage of their customer but in
order to make that customer return
again and again they must treat him
honestly. Thus the twenty-five years
of fair dealing which the customers of
Foster, Besse & Co. have received has
had its reward. People will go to
Foster, Besse & Co. before purchasing
anywhere else and it is even betting that
once they go into the store they will
purchase before coming out. The reason
for this is because their suits fit all
persons and prices fit all pocketbooks.
Foster, Besse & Co. do not pride them
selves on the fact that they have the
most exclusive trade in the city, but they
point with pride to the fact that their
store is comfortable at all times with
workingmen who are aware that they
can purchase a good serviceable suit for
little money in that establishment and
that they will be treated with as much
consideration as if they were spending
hundreds of dollars with the concern.
But then most everyone knows Foster,
Besse & Co., and they also know what
we have stated, that for twenty-five
years they have stood back of the
clothes they sold and they stand better
JO-udy IAdA CNC4s w hal VIC AOSAAO W.
make known at this time is the fact that
the great syndicate to which Foster,
Besse & Co. belong, has just purchased
$500 mems, youths and boys' suits.
They went to the assistance of a whole
sale house that needed ready
money or else would have to go to the
wall. You all know swhat that means.
In order to avert disaster this firm sold
their ready made stock of clothing for
less than 1t cost them to manufacture it.
The suits have been divided among the
Besse syndicate of stores and they will
be placed on sale to-day at the following
prices: Mems suits in Clay diagonal,
blue serge and all the latest brown
plaids, $4,9S, $3.50, $3.50 and $3.50.
In the children's department you can
buy an elegant suit for 81 SO, $2.36, $3.3
$3.50. $3.50. Those who come early to
this sale will fare the best. The bar
gains will not last long and when the
suits are gone they cannot be replaced
as it is job lot the entire output of a
large wholesale clothing firm that will
not duplicate the suits at the price they
were obliged to sell them at.

THE LATE GEORGE HOLMES.


There was large attendance at the
funeral service of the late George
Holmes, which were held on Sunday
afternoon, at the home of his father-in-
law, D. W. Judson, on Upper Main
street. Mr. Holmes has been one of the
firm of Clinton & Holmes for some years,
and by ibis accommodating manner and
pleasant ways, had made himself greatly
liked by all with whom he came in con-
tact. He has been in rather poor health
for some time, and few days before his
death an operation was performed for
the removal of an abscess. Unfavorable
symptoms developed, and he died Friday
night at the age of 30 years, leaving a
Druggist futile is having his store re-
moved TO new location, on the other
side of sthe street, just south of the
bakery. The postoffice buildingssis also
making quite change in the appearance
of the street. Failure to make satisfac-
tory arrangements with the owners of
the land, on which the buildings stood,
for renewal of their leases, is the cause
of the change.
