HIGH-GRADE CLOTHING SALE
EIsEMAN BROTHERS SELLING
$4,000 STOCK.
Made by This Concern for Baltimore
House, Which Has Gone Out
of Business.

The sacrifice sale of high-grade summer
clothing now in progress at Eiseman
Brothers clothing house, 7th and E
streets northwest, is attracting attention
to the character and quality of the goods
made by this old-established house
1t comprises the entire stock of Straus
Bros. of 70 Baltimore street, Baltimore,
which for years has ranked among lead
ers of high-grade clothing houses of Bal
timore. and recently retired from bust
ness.
Every article in the entire collection is
declared to be absolutely first-cass in
quality and workmanship The clothing
was manufactured by Eiseman Brothers.
The concern is urging this fact upon
Washington buyers as a guarantee of its
worth.
Opportunity for Washington.
When Stratus Bros. decided to retire
from business, it is said, the manufac-
turers had ample opportunity to dispose of
the stock in one lot to jobbers and houses
engaged in the retail trade. AS evidence
of their appreciation of their Washington
patronage, they decided to offer it to their
home patrons. giving them the benefit of
the great reduction in price that would
result from its forced sale.
Eiseman Brothers own provision for the
summer season trade amounted to S9O.0C0
The addition of $4,000 more in stock has
overcrowded their big store and made it
necessary to dispose OF the surplus as
quickly as possible. and at such prices as
it might bring at quick sale.
The firm of Eiseman Brothers grew out
of clothing house which was started in
1862 near 9th street and Louisiana ave-
nue. northwest by Gerson Eiseman, now
