AN ENTrRpRIsING FIRM.

So successful and pleasing in its re-
suits both to the patrons and to
Messrs. Il. M. and G.. w. Clarke, of the
firm of Clarke Bros, was the recent
drawing of a handsome doll and large
rocking horse, that the firm have de-
cided to try a similar contest. This
one will be for the benefit of the Oldest
ones and will be no less than two hand
some upright pianos of Emerson make
and valued at $400 each.
The contest will last until March 10,
next, when the drawing will take place
and the two persons fortunate enough
to hold winning numbers will be pre-
sented each with a piano. In order
to enter this contest. one has but to
be a purchaser of goods ct the store,
and with each dollars worth of goods
bought goes one chance for the draw
ing. That this enterprising arm can
do this is not to be wonderd at for
they save big rents by owning their
stores where one can purchase almost
anything. Miss Agnes Reilly is pres-
ent at the store each day to play upon
and demonstrate the value of the
pianos.
