PROSPEROUS AND LEADING
EMPORIUMS OF WHEELING


For enterprising ingenuity and bust.
ness qualifications Wheeling merchants
are in the lead. No other city of It's size
can boast of so many finely fitted and
well conducted retail stores as can
Wheeling. Such stores as can be seen
on some of our prominent business
streets would be a credit even to New
York City or Paris. Not alone are the
fixtures grand in these establishments,
but one does not have to run from one
place to another to get an assortment
to select from, II is a comfort TO walk
into such place as Alexander & Com
pany's to make a purchase. Space
would not allow us to mention the
many different shapes and latest de-
signs of footgear to be seen at this time
of the year in this large shoe emporium.
hThose of either sex, most particular In
style. need have no fear in being suited
there, and when 1t becomes known that
their prices are always TO suit the times.
one Gan easily see the cause Of their
unlimited success. This store, with it's
up-to-late management, has always
taken advantage of every opportunity
to benefit the trade, and well deserves
the success. Further down the street
can be found another place of smaller
size, but none the less successful on
account Of the skillful management of
its proprietor. Mr.. James Devine is no
way in the background. as il would be
hard TO find nicer line in any other
store of its size in town Not only on
Main and Market streets is 1t necessary
to look for stores of exceptionally high
standing, but should you chance to
stroll through that portion of Eleventh
street, between Main and Market, you
will find John Ding I, one of our most
pleasing and ever-d lrteous Shoe mef-
chants, who is ma an efforf\to be

JEWELLERS.
Lovers of fine jewelry have long
since learned that there is no place
within a good many hundred miles
where they can buy reliable jewelry of
the best designs and workmanship 20 d
better advantage than they can I'm

Jewelry than probably any other ,l.l
the Ohio Valley. is largely Responsible
Tor the reputation which the city of
wheeling has gained as a jewelry mar
ket. In elegance OF appointment, quail
1ty and quantity of stock, there ara
few Jewelry stores in the country LIT
equal that of the Dillon Wheat e h-
cher Co., and certainly there are none
that excel 1t in many OF the points that

A little below this firm, at 1917 Mar
ket street can be found another place
OF business, conducted by w. ]. Lux
ems, where can also be seen an elegant
assortment of fine stock. No one has
ever left Mr.. Llikens place dissatisfied.
The workmanship In watch repairing

establishment A little further down
the street and we come across another
I jewelry firm. Mr.. r. r.. Shuberf, at
1913 Market street. This place has al
ways been noted for the large amount
Of trade handled In its department and
can safely say IL Is one Of the most
thrifty little stores TO be found any
where. As the largest amount OF bust
ness places are always to be found IN
the most popular part Of the city. ws
must not forget that the largest BUSH
ness Is not always done where the most
people go, 50 we find By crossing the
creek few establishments such as Mr.
John Becker, who certainly commands
the largest portion Of the trade IN iIis
locality. II has been said that nowhere
on the South Side can better satisfac-
ton be had In cleaning and repairing
than at w II. Odbsrt's store. This Is
one Of the busiest little places In that
part OF town. Now coming back to
that ever popular Eleventh and Main
streets, we find another establishment.

lar opticians In the city Of Wheeling.
No place can give better satisfaction.

fence Ia his line and made many an
aching pair OF eyes read with comfort.
