A STAB in THE BACK.

Clothing Merchants Excited-- This
New Competition is More Than
They Can Stand--They Seek to
Stop Newspapers from Advertise
ing for This New and Enterprising
Firm--People of Scranton Are
Glad They Are Here High Prices
in Clothing That Have Been Maxi
ing CIothiers Rich at the Poor
Mans Expense Thing of the Past
in This City.
Ever since the Chicago Cimbination
Clothing Co. opened their store at 211
Washington avenue, they have done a
tremendous trade. The rival clothing
dealers in the city of Scranton have
been doing their utmost to keep this
concern from coming in the city, know
ing right well that they cannot COM
pete with them. At every opportunity
they have been giving this firm a stab
in the back. They are afraid to come
boldly forward and meet competition
in a fair and square way, so they there
fore employ methods which the right
business man who minds his own
business would not think of employ
ing. The Chicago Combination Cloth
ing Co. are here to stay, but we must
get acquainted with the people and are
therefore offering such inducements
and are selling high grade clothing at
such ruinously low prices and, in fact,
at such prices and for less than these
merchants can buy them for. We are
not selling slop-shOp or sweat-shop
goods, such as other merchants would
have you believe, but goods of the
highest character. All we ask is a
trial, Come and be convinced. We do
not ask you to buy unless you are
fully satisfied Of big saving.
