A GFQNinn Firm.

Last August, Ed. Marx opened
the Good Shoe Store" in the
building formerly occupied by
Mrs. Tyler'S millinery store, and
did a very good business with an
exclusive line Of shoes. Some
three months later he was Joined
by Mr.. N. }. Berscheidt, one OF
the best known and most popular
young business men of this part
of the country, and they began
laying plans to increase the size
of their stock by the addition of
several other lines of goods.
On the first of December they
announced that the firm would be
Marx & Berscheidt, and about the
first of toe year they would put q.
in a line of clothing, furnish ing
goods, etc., in addition to the
shoe line.
When the writer dropped into
their busy store this morning he
saw two fine new plate glass show
cases filled with the most seasona. =
bic goods in the furnishing goods.
line. and another with a very
handsome display o. ladies' fine
shoes. With the large line Of
new goods, the store is pretty
badly cramped for room, but they
are making the best Of it, and
have on display a handsome stock
Of furnishing goods for men. and
some of their clothing stock, but
not nearly all that they will carry
when they get down to business.
Both the proprietors are too
we'll known to the trading public
of Barton county to need any in
PRODUCTION from us, and the way
their friends troop to the store
every week day is pretty good
evidence that they will have &
mighty prosperous business.
