months, and all up-to-date, stylish and
becoming in every way. They have
all sizes and all grades, and while some
may sell you an inferior article at n
low price, they sell you fine cloak for
little money. They do this by being
good buyers; by paying cash and TAX
ing the discounts; By selling on small
margins and relying on their many
sales for their profit. This firm is a
valuable acquisition TO our town, and
the people are coming to look upon il
as the center Of fashion, the headquar-
tsrs for good bargains, the popular
priced, well-stocked mercantile house
of Somerset.
Dressmaking Is extensively carried

dressmaker and milliner i'm Somerset,
she offered 20 the public her services,
and from an humble beginning has
reared her present enlarged establish
ment. The growth Of the business
was marvellous, being a just reward for
her legitimate business methods aud
her antieipatiOns of the peoples needs
in the most reliable goods.
Fifteen years ago you could not find
variety of fine dress fabrics in a
Somerset store; the common delaines,
eashmeres, calicoes and muslins COM
prisiDg the stock of the then leading
stores. Anyone desiring other than
these staple goods was compelled to
have her dress goods expressed from a
city establishment, and, as a general
thing, the trimmings also. About this
time the Knepper business block was
erected on the Southwest corner of the
Diamond, and with the foresight that
has always been evidenced, Mrs. Uhl
secured the large storerooms, and for
the first time in Somerset's history
presented to the pablic a full and we'll
selected line Of the seasons fashionable
dress goods, with the latest things in
trimmings and Innings.
A cloak and coat department was
also added to her business, and again
the people of Somerset and vicinity
were enabled to purchase the latest and
most approved styles Of ladies' gar
menis at such pIiees that would not
justify them to purchase from abroad.
1t is needless to say that this over
ture caused a revolution in the stores OF
Somerset, and the lead she then took
she has always maintained. the peo-
pie recognize in her the one who made
it possible for them to appear in fash
ions robes at cost little above what
was paid for an ordinary fabric and
that Somerset's fame as a fashion eeE-
ter is due mainly to the opportunities
she has afforded to the correct dresser
She has furnished the bridal gar
ments and infants robes for two gen
eraiions, and 50 familiar is her store %
the people that it is household word
and the mere fact that an article has
been bought at this establishment IS a
guarantee of its intrinsic worth and a
once secures for it the buyers seal o
approval.

STEADY GROWTH.

Realizing that Somerset would ever
be her scene of business activity, Mrs.
Uhl at the start made il one of her
cardinal rules to furnish only reliable
goods and never attempt to attract the
careless buyer Of the "shoddy." To
this rule she has strictly adhered, and
the steady growth Of her establishment
is a sure indication of the appreciation
of her honorable methods and fair
dealing. II is entirely foreign to her
policy to use the questionable methods
