S. f. TEISER

One of the busiest places in town
is Teiser's store. 1t always was a
busy and business like place but since
moving into his new store further
down the street it is still more so if
possible. He has more room aud car
ries a bigger stock and as natural
result he is doing a bigger trade. Aud
that he sells goods at low price is
evidenced by the immense business he
does. If bargains were not to be had
the place would not be thronged with
customers as it is. There are dry
goods and notions without end, shoes,
hats, caps; groceries and provisions of
all klnds-in fact anything you can
think of almost. Trade in these
things is confined to no particular
season, but in keeping with the spirit
which pervades every heart and which
we seem to breathe in the very at
mosphere, Mr.. Teiser proposes to
| celebrate the holidays by giving his
customers special bargains i'll every
| thing. In addition to his regular line
| he has many things in the way Of toys
and novelties, fancy china and glass
ware, fruits, contectioneries, etc.
