Sell everything for them in the line of clothing and fur nishings. This can be just as good a boys clothing as it is a dry goods store, a carpet store, a millinery store and it is.
 Completeness marks our boys clothing stock. We have as low-priced clothing as any boy should have to wear, as expensive as any boy need care to have, and everything between the two extremes.
 We sell everything at our usual profit, viz: as little as we can put the price on and live. That makes lower prices than good boys clothing can be had for in most stores.
 Take your station here with us for an hour in the thick of a busy day, and hear the en- comiums passed on the assort- ment of our stock, the taste fitness and style of our clothing and the low price on everything.
 To-day, particular attention is called to a new line of long trouser suits for boys 14 to 1e years, at $5, $6.5o, $7.5o $8.5o and $1o a suit. They will commend themselves tc you on sight, but examine them closely-did ever you see such suits at the price?
 At $5 and $6.5O-Gray and | Brown Scotch Mixtures, carefully l selected patterns made like mems tailor-made suits.
 At $7.5O and $S.5O-Darkel l patterns, hard twisted Scotch Chev l oits, Worsteds, etc.-carefully SC | lected patterns-made like mems tailor-made suits.
 At $1O-Fancy Scotches, Wor l steds, etc.-dark and medium pat l terms; double-breasted, heavy Nav. Serges, silk faced-made like men' tailor-made suits.
 Suits 3 to 14-year-old boys $1 .o8 to $1o. Tasteful, styl' ish suits, made to wear, if and look well.

There was time when all roads led to
 Rome. Now, all trolleys pass Meigs'
 Corner in Springfield, a corner which has become famous for good clothes and hats and shoes and furnishings, and for rigid enforcement of "Your money back If you want It." Some stores you know have @ rule like thIs, "Your money back If not satisfactory" but the customer who ever comes back for his money finds that the merchant Is perfectly satisfied with his money. Meigs & Go. make It point to insist upon any dissatisfied customer bringing back his purchase and getting his money or other goods. There Is sat- isfaction in buying at such a store, where every safeguard Is thrown about cus- toner. Indeed, none but @ store where goods are right" could afford to make and keep such Q rule. The showing of Fall clothes-sults, top-coats, furnishings, hats and shoes is superb. In the base ment trunks, horse blankets and robes have Q whole floor to themselves. Every body Is invited to drop in at Meigs' Cor ner when in Springfeld-visitors are as welcome as buyers. #.
