far more convincing would result

lucky "Jim Grow" coach law. The
court sustains the law and decided
that any State has the right under the

against the company for failure to
enforce the law.

DRESS
TRIMMINGS

AS an example of the superior
assortments we carry, we men,
ton this, we have in stock to-
day FIFTY-FIVE (55) different
styles of Yokings, not including
silks, velvets, chiffon, ETC.,
which are used for the same pur-
pose, but SIS different styles of
materials used exclusively for
yokes, in black, white and col
ors, ranging in price from SOC to
$3.50 per yard. Just think of
this when you go into some 9TH
er store, and see two to five
styles.
Yokings are not the only Dress
Garnishings we have, but a
good assortment of Chiffon and
Bead and Applique trimmings
and ornaments and black and
colored braids and fringes.
In all, such a stock as as you
will not see outside of Des
Moines or Omaha.

DRESS GOODS.

We hardly know what to say
about our Dress Goods, the en-
tire stock seems to be so,evenIy
matched for desirability and
cheapness.
We are showing an excellent
assortment of grey and castor
colored Homespuns from soc a
yard and upwards.
Homespuns and weaves of
like nature have the "call !"
this season for suits and skirts.
Knowing they would be, we
began preparing to show the
best line, as long ago as last
November.
In black and staple goods our
stock is at its best, prices ruiz
ing a little higher than in the
past.
There is still a chance to buy
some HenriettaS and SergeS at
old prices, as we did not adj
vance the price of goods on
hand. In all, we can snow you
nearly everything at ali desir=
able in the way of Dress Goods.

SILKS.

Each season our trade and
stock of silks show a consider
able increase. Nearly every
day we demonstrate the uses
lessness of sending away.
Useless entirely on account of
price and very nearly as useless
on account of trying to get
"sometl1ing different"
We have known of people
sending away to get something
different than sold here, and
getting exactly the same style
that we had in our store, and
paying 25c yard more, too.
Fact!
Besides, we are always glad
to get anything a customer
wants that we may not have.
Some bargains we have in
silks. Not bargains in old silks,
but low prices on ueY silks.
Silks are not higher yet, but
soon will be. Among many
others of equal value we offer:

RUSS so

1t is with confidence, as we'll as a certain
degree of pride, that we ask your inspection of
our stocks for the spring and summer season
of 1000.
In no other store in this vicinity, nor so far
we know, in no other store in Iowa, outside
of the few cities, will you find complete and
we'll assorted stocks in the lines represented, as
you will find in our store to-day.
We claim to excel, not only in variety and
size of stock carried but in all around lowness
of prices. Not low prices on one or two or a
half dozen insignificant articles, but an even
lOwness entire stock. Or a lady who
once lived in Audubon, writes back to friend,
''she never realized how cheap Jim Russell sold
goods until she came to buy them at other
places.''
Nor is low prices and large assortments our
only inducement, but the uniform goodness of
the class of goods we have for sale, should be in
itself of sufficient Importance to induce you to
give us your business.
The hard times of the few past years
brought forth the meanest, rottenest, poorest
lot of merchandise the world ever saw. Some
stores, in order to make popular prices,''
bought and sold this class of goods. Some
stores are doing it yet, only these low prices are
not popular as they few years ago.
People want decent stuff now, even if it does
cost little more, and go to stores where this
kind of goods are sold. This point is of the
reasons which explain the great increase in our
trade in the past two years.
We sold decent goods; the people know it.

While j. f. Russell was in Chicago
buying his stock of spring goods, he
purchased number of new fixtures
for his store, which adds much to its
appearance and in many cases a con-
venience in displaying his goods In
the private office of his cashier and
book keeper, two large, fine office
chairs of the latest pattern have been
added to the fixtures. An elegant wall
case has been placed on the stairway
landing. In the millinery and dress
suit department five large rugs have
been added which gives it an air of
taste and elegance. The floor in the
carpet department is covered with
Linolieum carpeting. A thirty-six foot
pole fixture, for the displaying of lace
curtains has been added. Eight new
brass lamps add to the finish and APP
pearance of the departments on the
second floor. A number of new forms
Rave been placed in the dress suit de-
partment for displaying tailor made
suits. Cash carriers have been put in
connecting the second floor with the
cashiers and book-keeper's office.
These new fixtures and trimmings cost
great deal more than most people
are aware, but add much to the taste
and appearance of a store and tend to
give it a metropolitan appearance.
Since Mr.. Russell's spring goods have
| arrived and been put in place and new
] trimmings and deorations have been
hung, one will find it difficult, in any
town in Westerd Iowa, to find stofe
and stock of goods that excels it.
