IA MAMMOTH INSTITUTION 1! Enlargement and RemodeIing of Pres colts Great and Popular One
 Price Clothing
 Emporium. 4 Demonstration of What can be Ae- compIished by Correct Business
 Methods and Honest
 Representations.

The success which has been real
 ized by Ed. Block, the popular one price elothier of Prescott, since he
 located here is without a parallel
 in the history of business in this
 territory. MT. Block came here an entire stranger and located on side
 street and modestly advertised his place as a one price, strictly cash, clothing house, further announcing that goods would be found exactly
 as represented. Wiseacres shook
 their heads doubtfully, averrIng that the field in that line was already occupied and that failure was sure to result.
 Prospective purchasers who called to examine goods and prices, soon found that large saving could be made by patronizing a cash place and luther aScertained that there was only one price on goods and they rapidly changed from pros pective purchasers to actual patrons. 1t was not long till MT. Block demonstrated to the public that his goods were just what be represented them, and his -one price motto was not a misnomer to catch the un- wary but meant just what it said. His business grew rapidly till he found himself compelled to secure more commodious quarters and from the side street on which he first located he moved to the west side of the plaza where he has been ever since.
 Again he finds his quarters too small and cramped to meet his rapidly increasing business, and he has just closed a contract with Nimock & Henry, the well known contractors, for the enlargement and remodeling of his store. The whole interior vii! be remodeled, and large addition will be built to it in the rear and when completed it will be loo feet deep in the clear.
 During his recent visit to New York and other eastern cities, MT. 1 Block made purchases of a larger stock of goods than has ever before | been purchased or even thought of by any dealer in his line. By buy ing strictly for cash he is enabled to | secure greater discounts than others | who buy on time, and is therefore | enabled to sell at a lower price, while his one price cash motto to | which he adheres strictly, guards | him from any possible loss and en- a Fn further benefit in small profits. as | one purchaser at his place is not | compelled to make good the bad | debts of others who are carried on | the books from month to month.
 His enlarged store when com pleted will contain the largest stock | and finest line of clothing ever brought to Northern Arizona.
 MT. Block was also fortunate, re- gently in securing the agency for Steinbloch companv's celebrated ready made tailored suits. In point of fit, workmanship and trimmings these goods are without equal in ready made clothing, and today stand at the head of the list for high grade goods.
 NIT. Blocks establishment is the only strictly one price cash clothing house in the territory, and since To- eating in Prescott he caused a revo- lution in the clothing trade, but has reaped full and complete reward for doing business on legitimate which are small profits, rash and no misrepresentations.
