ANNOUNCEMENT.
Standard Grocery Will Handle Cloth
ing BusinesS-Prices Cut, Slashed
and Slaugheted.

Standard Grocery viii Handle Cloth
ing Business-Prices Cut, Slashed
and Slaugheted.
Inasmuch as there is no cloth
ing store on Court street, and as we
are often called upon to show our
grocery customers from the interior
country, where they can purchase
clothing. etc, we have decided to
handle agents SUITS shoes, hats, caps,
ETC., in the future.
We intend to carry complete stock
of samples, but intend to make a
speciality OF taking orders for tailor
made suits.
We often wondered how some of
Pendleton's department CD stores
could afford to sell some groceries at
cost, in order to sell clothing.
We are no longer in the dark, as
we find since going into the clothing
business, that 1t is nearly all profit.
AS we intend to put this line in for
the accommodation of our customers,
we do not intend to make a profit
on the clothing business, but will sell
at cost. Below are a few of our prices
and you will also see samples of the
finest line of clothing in the city, on
| display in our windows.
The best suit we carry is So
Others ask as high as $40 for the
same suit. We have others. all wool
and strictly high grade as low as
s4.45 for a whole suit.
Underwear, soc suit. worth 81.
Canvas gloves, pair Csc, others
sell then for 25c.
Good heavy cotton sox soc dozen.
Extra good working shirts, 45c
each.
Best overalls on earth for soc,
either waist or bib overalls
All other articles carried by a cloth
ing store can be had of us at cost,
same as above.
Some of our clothing competitors
may ridicule the idea of going to a
grocery store for clothing, but we beg
to say that it is not any more ridic-
ulous than going to clothing store
for groceries.
We made arrangements with one
of the largest tailoring houses of Chi
cago, and If you want a nice suit
at so per cent discount, let US have
the order.
Our terms on clothing, etc. are
strictly cash.

four years ago he made only a few changes.
When elected two years ago as the Democratic
Controller he retained his old staff. With
four years hold their jobs the staff

yesterday:

Sumes that he can remove appoint a score or
more of expert accountants without interference
from the Municipal or State Civil Service COM
missions In this he is likely to into lot
lection for the efficient enploye in the Finance
as well as in other city departments.
The State constitution provides that all ap-
pointments in the Civil Service shall be made
according to fitness which so far as practicable
shall be determined by competitive examination.
When the examination is not practicable and
officers select their subordinates they are
not on that account free to make politics the
test Exempt places just as much on the
classified list any other, and an officer vo-
lates his oath of office when he appoints dis
charges a person in the exempt class for politi-
cal reasons. Section 23 of the Civil Service law
provides that mo appointment selection to
