The productive and business re.
sources of this county have no more

tions of MIR II Newton, dealer in lum
Der and coal; and manufacturer of
screens, block spiEdles, balusters, etc

He is lumber merchant of long and
varied experience, and his judgement
on critical matters, pertaining to the

CLOTHING AND MEMS FURNISHING
GOODS.

That a most extensive business
can be established and maintained
even in a place not laying claim
20 the rank of cities, provided COR
rect methods are adopted, has
oeen most concluslvely proven by
the phenomenal success that has
crowned the efforts of Mr.. b. w
Carlisle, whose establishment is
located at Erie and Fourth streets
The store-room is very handsome
~ fitted up and appointed through
out and contains an immsense
stock of fine aud medium grade

pc rted and domestic productions
Prices throughout are invariably
very reasonable, and in some cases
Beyond the reach of competition;
n fact, this house has made an
snviable record in the matter OF
sood qualities and low prices.
The reason that MIR. Carlisle is
.ble to unde1sell neighboring COM
petltors. is simple when UNDER
stood. 1t is just this: he does all
his buying personally and pays
cash for everything, which ad.
vantages, coupled with a thorough
knowledge of merchandise, en-.
ab'es him to secure goods at the
very lowest prices, and conse-
quently, he can sell them cor.
respondiDgly low. Mr.. Carlisle
has been identified with the trade
since 1878 and established his
present business six years ago. By
honorable dealings, enterprisine
methods, courteous treatment and
full values, lie has built up bust
ness of considerable proportions
and his patronage is not only
largely local, but is drawn from
all of the surrounding country
He has an establishment that is
q model Of its kind and he may
we'll feel q sense of pride in the
history of its growth and develop
ment. MIR. Carlisle was for g

HARDWARE, STOVES, FURNITURE, ETC.
What wonderful amount of
meaning there is in that one word,
confidence! The business of the
world hangs upon it. 1t applies
to all walks of life and to the
mercantile business PARTICULAR.
We believe we can truthfully say
that the establishment Of Mr. w
NJ Carlisle has, through twenty
seven years of meritorious service,
won the confidence and endorse
ment Of the public. It's one of
the largest houses here, occupy
ing two floors, on Erie street, and
the stock carried is SO extensive
and varied rs to comprise every
thing that could be sought for in
a store of this nature. 1t would
be almost useless to attempt to
enumerate in detail the many
'hings to be found in this estab-
lishment, but we will briefly say
that Mr. Carlisle is g large dealer
in shelf and heavy hardware of
all kinds; furnaces, stoves and
ranges, including all the best and
most popular grades and makes
in the market. Bicycles, embrac.
ing the most modern products Of
the world-famous factorics Of
America; also u full stock of fur
niture of we'll known quality and
manufacture. The very completes
ness Of the stock and thorough
business methods have built up
an extensive trade ami placed Mr.
Carlisle among the largest hand
lers of this class OF goods in.
western Iowa. Of all the immense
stock, not an article is ever sold
that cannot be guaranteed to be
exactly as represented, and prices
are invariably kept down to the
'owest possible point. Absolute
fairness in all dealings has made
this house favorabIy known to
avery citizen, as we'll as all the
farmers in Harrison and adjoin
ing counties, and it ia an acknow-
lodged headquarters for all the
goods it handles. Mr. Carlisle is
one of our prominent and re-
spected citizens and has done his
full duty towards promoting the.
interests of our commonwealth.
