One of the most astute buyers in
the dry goods markets is ]. P. Yer.

merchants. Mr.. Verhine is now in

Morgan & Hardy Bros. are re-
celving their immense consignments
of spring merchandise. Every de-
partment has been busy for several
weeks displaying and arranging
their new lines. The trade of this
company is increasing every year,
and, although we have never had
hint or suggestion of the kind, we
wouldn't be at all surprised if they
did not contemplate the building of
a mammoth, handsome, modern
business block, something on a
scale. One thing seems
certain, their present quarters will
either have to be enlarged or new
rooms secured one of these fine
days very soon to accommodate
their business.
The streets and shop windows of
Union City are beginning to show
evidences of the openining of spring
trade. The merchant buyers have
about all returned to their places of
and although the roads
were in such frightful condition,
Mondays business opened up very
lively The shop windows are all
in full dress, and everybody knows
what fine window displays are made
by our merchants. Some of these
deserve more than ordinary notice,
but there are none without the at
traction of special window artist.
Goods in all lines are pillng in and
the counters, cases and shelves are
full of spring features and substan-
tial merchandise. Soon the dry
goods men will have the regular
spring opening, and the usual mag
nificent display will be made.
A crowd of visitors have been
pouring into the Union City Hard
ware and Furniture Co. store this
week to accept the hospitality of
the firm at luncheon table, which |

If the Majestic Company, gave us
some pointers on the one in use.
