TO THE PUBLIC:

few years ago, when many people said that SIS
tersve had her best days. that her glory was IN
the past that dog fennels would soon grow again
in her streets that it time to leave and seek
other and promising pastures We thought other
wise We believed that the greatness OF this hustng.
bustlihg, busy, energetic city had but commenced.
Believing that, started the store OF FISCHER Broth
ers in the building occupied by Mr. Eatlns Con-
fectonery Some of friends advised against
tie movement: many counseed us to 90 TO some town
just starting; few wagged their heads and an mag
inaton already read our business obituary But with
faith in the city and the people, we went ahead, and
opened with the largest and best stock Of dry goods
ever exhibited in the city.
From the very first the results justified our con-
tidence. Our trade good and constantly became
better, until the then occupied, although at
that time containing floor space than any strictly
dry goods store in the city, became too small. We
set about seeking more modern, more capaclous,
more suitable quarters. Trey found In the new
building about to be erected by Mr. Wells the same
street, which especially constructed for our bus
ness.
Being kindly granted the privilege of designing the
entire interior of the building, secured room
metropolitan in every respect covering three separ-
ate floors and BASEMENT so arranged as to afford the
greatest advantage in the display of goods and
customers in the selection of the same. 1t was the
largest dry goods store between Wheeling and Par
kersburg, and equal any in either of those cities
To fill its shelves and load it's counters, the largest
best markets of the country dozen clerks were put
TO work arranging it for the scrutiny of the public
And when the doors opened, and the people of
this city feasted their delightful eyes upon modern,
metropolitan dry goods store right in their own city,
we knew from their pleased expressions that again
faith had been well grounded and that the VEN
ture would be success.
The knowing wiseacres wagged their heads, and
gave us so long before the sheriff would
tablishment with the assistance of creditors. The

ment of an uptodate store being failure, it has be-
come constantly popular; business has increased
each year: departments have been constantly
added richer and better and larger stock has been
purchased for each successive season. and more than
the people have proven by their increasing
patronage that such store would pay in Sistersvle.
in fact, was just what they wanted.
The secret of success has been the constant
observance of motto: GIVE DO NOI SELL
CHEAP GOODS, BUT GOOD GOODS CHEAP"
We have ransacked the markets of the nation tor these
E'gOod goods" have brought them to Sistersve;
have offered them at reasonable profit and have had
the satisfaction of seeing them transformed from our
shelves to the homes of this city and surrounding
country, and the buyers returning for more Of the
same kind. Having made the dry goods business
speciality all life, the great eastern markets
are as familiar US the boys "a c's, and with
oureyes upon the best in those markets and our fin
gers the pulse of trade, we and do secure
tor customers just what they want and they come
BACK Tor more.
This year we add millinery department. 1t
will be just modern, just complete just as up to
date as the rest of our store. When it was deter
mined upon, went to the large eastern cities, and
exhausted their stock in supplying We secured
the services of Miss Evans of the most gifted and
most talented milliner designer and trimmer those
cities could furnish and when the ladies of Sisters
vile and elsewhere feast their eyes upon the and
bright and immense stock in this department, they
will again say that Fischers is the place to 60 if you
want the real thing" This department will be fitted
up in the most elegant, comfortable and convenient
manner affOrding every advantage TO the shopper.
We walt our customers to goods in the bright
light of day. knowing that search. light
can detect any shoddy or sham about them. We will
open this department on the first.
We thank the public for it's confidence and pa
:ronage; shall continue to merit it. We have the
best stock we ever had. We invite all old friends
and new ones as we'll to call and see it. visit to
Fischers will make you patron, and once patron,
you will always continue one.
Very Truly,
