most extensive south Of Baltimore, the

NEW SUIT FOR CHRISTMAS.
Morton C. Stout & Co., at No. S26 east
Main street, say that II every man in
Richmond does not have a new suit for
Christmas-Day 1t Will not be their fault
They will make one for anybody for SIS.
1t is perfectly natural that they should
make the claim that these are the cheap
est suits in America. The quality Of the
cloth is frst-class; the fit is the same;
the work is done by the best men posi-
BILE TO employ.
1t is hard for a man used 10 paying

goods and by the best taiors, TO stand In
front OF Stouts window and realize that
the little cards on the bolts OF fine suit
ings before him marked 49, mean that
coat, vest, and trousers will be made for
that sum. Yet Stout does IL. He IS maxi
ing q reputation at II, too. Whether he
is making money is Mr.. Stouts business,
and one about which the wearer will not
much bother his head as long as he gets
the suit.
THE CHRISTMAS GROCERIES.
S. Ullman's Son claims that his stores.
Nos. 1S2O-1S22 east Main street, and No.
SOC east Marshall street are headquar-
tiers for Christmas groceries. Other mer-
chants will contest this statement, but II
Is fact that mono quote lower prices,
and none come nearer having in stock
everything that should be seen on a
Christmas dinner table.
Ullman's prices are the lowest. his
goods of good quality. Every article IS
guaranteed. He makes the claim that
once a man buys from him he is a Gus
toner always. He has undoubtedly
reached a very low-water mark in the
matter Of prices. Just now he is max
ing q run on currants, French candy,
ralsins, figs. prunes, cocoanuts, citron
mixed nuts, strained honey, cTanberries,
plum puddings. dates. oranges, bananas.
lemons, buckwheat -four and every char
aster Of fancy groce>les.
Ullman makes a Speciality Of mail or
ders. and frequently sends boxes to many
points in Virginia and Carolina Just nj
present he is having a great rush filling
Christmas orders.
