COMPETITION BETWEEN LARGE
Nl STORES

The active competition between the
large clothing and dry goods merchants,
anum'ber of whom have within the past
year or so opened In Norfolk, in addition
to those already established, can have
but one result. and that Inevitably, OF
drawing to this city the business of the
whole section within radius Of q cou-
pie OF hundred miles OF Norfolk. AS
water runs down hill. so do buyers seek
the best and cheapest market, and that
Is Norfolk.
Three agencies there are which build
city and these-active competitions
which reduces prices; advertising, which
makes this known ana transportation
enabling the buyer to reach
the placc-and these three has Norfolk
now.
!" Some idea OF the competition referred
to can be had If one looks i'm the win
dows OF Lireright & Co., the clothiers,
to-day. These gentlemen are selling the
stock of Jacob Reeds Sons, of Philadel-
phia, and the bargains told of in Fast
Sundays Virglnian are shown. The
neckwear being sold at TIC. is wonder
ful. Reeds Soc. and Sl.0O scarfs are 17c
and no locker san fail to see how cheap
they are, And ii Is said that the other
goods are sold as cheap proportionatcly.
The store was filled with buyers ycstcr-
day, which 1t will surely be while such
prlcc-cutting Is goGg on.
