shopping expedition. The News anu OBJ
server will be the guide and it promises
not to steer single purchaser into any
/ place except where they will be fairly
treated and get their moneys worth.
Times are rather hard, it's true-not
what they ought to be, but there is con-
ISOLATION in the fact that a little money
goes a long ways in Raleigh's leading
business houses; so let's dress up and
take a Thanksgiving business trip
around the city. If the boys have not
all bought their spring suits there is no
better place in the country to buy them
! than Raleigh S. & ID. Berwanger are
anxious to show you through their i'm
mense stock, and Cross & Linehan are
purveyors of the best and most stylish
of mems and boys attire, while Whit
| ing Bros. are always in the head col
umn of the procession of clothing deal
| ers.
! The ladies should be handsomely at
tired before joining this full-dress trade
parade. Sherwood Higgs q Co. have a
| big store and one or two anneXes filled
with fashions newest novelties. A. Il.
| Stronach's is distinctively a ladies' dry
goods store where the fair ones are wont
to gather every trade day in the year.
| There are bargains at fuckers in many
things that the gentlemen as well as the
ladies will find interesting. w. Il. Jones
with his corps of polite statesmen and
salesladies can show goods and quote
prices that will be interesting to every
body. Woollcott & Son are in the same
immense building with every part of
space filed with goods of every de-
scription from a tin toy to a tailor-made
/ suit.
| We must have good, easy shoes to
wear that will last well and look well.
| Heller Bros. are in Raleigh for the
purpose of supplying this demand, and
S. G. Poole's shoe store is an empo-
rum of the best footwear for old and
young.
The ladies know where to find
their autumn hats. Miss Reeese's is the
place, and here Dame Fashion loves to
| linger
| But we must not start out hun
| CRY. A breakfast made up of the choice
! edibles from w. G.. Stronach & Sons
will put us all in good humor, and CT
gar afterwards from the well-filled cases
of Henry T. Hicks will please the boys,
while the ladies never object to your
smoking if You smoke the La Elita ci-
gar or genuine Key West cherrotte.
| One of the first places to visit is the
store of II. Mahler's Sons. Here we
! find the best of everything in the jewel
ry line. Then to Lumsden & Sons for
many things in the heaters, wood stoves,
lamps and other house furnishings.
We want some special Thanksgiving
groceries-mince meat, currants, jellies
and other specialties in the fancy groc-
cry line. There is no better place to get
them than Jno. Il. Terrall & Co.'S, and
perhaps a new cooking arrangement is
needed. The Julius Lewis Hardware
Company has the celebrated vapor oil
stove; We will take look at that and
the many other useful things at Lewis's.
Thomas Irescud's is near by; he keeps
the best, and the best is what we want
during Thanksgiving. We will just leave
an order at Pescud's, and when we get
back home the cook will have good
meals prepared with Pescud's frst-class
groceries and family supplies as the bas-
is. A number of the boys and girls
want new bicycles and some of the older
folks want them also. Well find the
Rambler and other first-class wheels at
t.. ii. Briggs d Sons, and while there
we will see lots of other things in the
hardware line that we need.
Well buy Registers candy, so that the
girls will know we bought the best, and
fill the boxes full of Dughi's grapes,
pears, bananas and other fruits.
There will be large number in the
party who will wish to buy the winters
supply of coal ana wood. They can di-
vide up between Jones & Powell, b. w.
Baker and Johnson & john
son and all can be supplied
before the real winter weather sets in.
And some will have the headache. We
will stop at ]. l. Johnson's for some an
ticeppallalgine or take a dose of Sted-
mans head-easy and all will be we'll.
We will let Wharton take pictures of
the whole crowd, for he is one of the
best photographers in the whole coun-
try; and then we will buy a box of writ
ing paper each from Alfred Williams &
Co. and send Thanksgiving greetings to
our absent friends.
There will be many of our friends from
the country, and they will want TO see
Mr. B. Irby's store full of farmers sup
plies. They will--some of them-also
desire to go down to Allen q Grams
and take look at their engines and
other machinery. Some in the party viii
desire to build new houses soon, and will
want plans from some reliable architect.
Mr.. Chas. Pearson or Mr. A. Bauer OF
Raleigh, or Mr.. Henry e. Bonitz, of
Wilmington, can meet this demand. IL
there be those in the party who wish
to negotiate loans they can drop in and
see Mr.. Philip w. Averitt or Mr.. G. G.
Mcdonald and get all the information
desired. Others will doubtless have
money to invest, Mr.. Geo. Allen,
of the Mechanics and Investors Union
can give valuable information on this
/ line. There will be many in this Thanks
giving trade parade who will want to
rent or buy house. j. M. Broughton
& Co. will be good hands for these to
fall in, and then they will wish to have
these homes insured. Messrs. Grimes &
Vass can put them in the best and
most reliable companies.
Some of the shoppers will have money
left after the shopping expedition is
over to deposit in the Commercial and
| Farmers Bank, and while around on
