That it will prove to be period of great prosperity is confidently pre- dicted by all the patrons of the big con cern. Simultaneously with the an- nouncement of the enlargement of quarters, the firm announces the receipt of a new and complete stock of sum- mer goods news which all who love comfort and ease during the warm months would do well to heed. The stock includes almost everything from the celebrated Blue Flame Wickless oil stove to the enticing "Fairfield' lawn swing, a speciality in the swing line which affords almost as much. amusement to adults as to the young ones.
