Durango semi-weekly herald., 1901-12-16

something. II Billy White sold 1t or
said 1t looked all right II was all
right. and this is the idea or sentiment
which finally gave to Durango the
mammoth store OF the Nathan Shoe
and Clothing company. Mr.. White
is an cnterprising student .of the
needs and wants of the people in all
their requirements for clothing, ne
matter In what business trade or
calling they may be engaged. By
watching the opportunities present
ed by the great wholesale houses he
has been enabled to take many ad-
vantages which his patrons have en-
joyed. In position at all times to
meet any emergency. on several oc-
casions he bought great quantities OF
new goods where others bought too
heavily and had to fall. at cost and
below cost. Trade of the Nathan
Shoe and Clothing company have en-
joyed these benefits and in manifest
ing appreciation. have built up for
that company one of the largest
clothing trades in Colorado This
great mouse is always receiving
goods and always selling. Probably
there is no other house in Colorado
Or the west where goods are bought
and sold so rapidly as at this Durango
house. 1t is common remark for
visitors. tourists and strangers that
ci 8 the size of Durango can maintain
So large a clcthing house with so
many otltr houses carrying similar
lines,
Mr. White will continue in the man
asei cnt nj the big store. His new
partners recognize that he has been
the guiding spirit to the splendid
success of the old company, and they
will let him pilot in the future.
Anything found in first-class
clothing house between the two big
oceans will be found at the new
Whitehall company's store. and the
people who have for years traded with
Billy White will be accorded the
same consideration which he has al
wavs extended to them.
In the history of Durango business
firms there has never been strong
or combination presented than that
embraced In the White Hall Clothing
company. either as to personnel or
financial strength. All the members
of the firm are widely popular and en-
JOY the confidence of all the people
in country one hundred miles north
and south by two hundred and tifty
miles east and west This is about
the area OF the ordinary field OF trade
enjoyed by this company. and mail
OF ders are received from far Leyoud
tie limits of that territory.
A dissolution sale begins tomorrow
which will continue until January a.
Everything in the house will be sold
at absolute cost. The new company
does not desire to carry over any OF
the presnt stock, and will sell at cost
to make room for an entire new line
of goods for the spring and summer
trade. Rare opportunities are now
offered for purchasing early in win
ter suitable raiment for the rigors OF
the coming months. A visit to the
store will readily convince intending
purchasers that the announcement ap

means actual sale at cost. Those
WAC have not already prepared them
selves for winter wear will now have
an opportunity of doing 80 at a
great saving, as the goods are going
to be sold for less money than has
ever been paid for such goods in Du-
range before. Watch the announce
ments during the next thirty days, or
go in tomorrow or at any time while
the big sale is on.
The Herald has pleasant memories
of business relations with the old
firm. and joins with their hundreds
of friends in welcoming Billy White,
Roy Hall and Harry Turner as the
Whitehall successors to splendid
position in the commerce of Durango.
