sure way to attain this end was only to
be found in handling goods of estab-
lished merit, asking fair and honest
prices, and fostering relations with pa
irons that are of the most cordial char
acter through liberal and accommodate
ing treatment. The eight years have
tested these methods thoroughly, and the
results are to be found in tlrst-class
stock equipment, in representative and
a growing patronage, IN an excellent
reputation for reliability, and in career
which is thoroughly progressive. At his
