cess. This is particularly true OF the
Establishment of John M. Logan the
alertneSS of whose management has
placed it among the leading, progress
i've and important enterprises OF Gen.
trail Kentucky. -Four years ago the
business was established in modest
way with a small but select stock. A
reputation was to be built up, pat
rOnage to be secured and the cOmpeti-
tiOn of merchants well and favOrably
known in the community was to be
met and Surmounted. These odds
were soon overcome by wide-awake
and hustling business methods, and
time brought its reward in popular
recognition and a daily increasing
trade. Today, this eStabliShment.in
magnitude, in volume of patronage
enjoyed, in variety and high standard
of stocks shown, and in prices quoted

growth and development which was
not the result Of chance or luck but
the direct consequence of judiciOus
advertising, Of anticipating popular
needs and supplying them promptly
and effectually. The stock comprises
dry goods, notions, ladies furnishing
goods, millinery, carpets, shoes, cloth
ing, gents furnishings, hats etc. The
dry goods department contains an ex-
cellent assortment Of silks, wooden
and washable goods, and full line of
tailOr-made garments, shirts ETC.,
from the cheap to the niger grades.

are now beginning to arrive. Each
department will present most at
tractive array of fashionable articles,
and the stock throughout will not be
eXcelled even by that carried in the
large establishments of the metrOpoli-

ular favor and recognition is the Mil
linery department. This is in charge
of Miss d. B. Harris, assisted by an

business the people of this vicinity al

stock tell the story, and tell it in a
convincing manner. He combines ju-
dicious aggreSSiveneSs with pronOunc-
ed business ability, and gives to the
community a live, wide-awake and
thoroughly progressive establishment,
where quality and quantity are meas

est equivalents. The experience gain
ed by Mr.. Logan in years on the road
as travelling salesman for the leading
eastern dry goods and clothing houses
has proved of immense value to him
in his retail business, for not only did
he acquire perfect knowledge of all
productions on the market, but as
well, thorough insight into all the
tricks of the trade" and these quail
ficatiOns enable him to secure not only
the best goods, but also to procure
them at the lowest and closest figures
possible.
