Z GOODWILL AND ADVERTISING.

sE The large shipments of goods being
received by the UndersnlEng Store as
indicated by the long string of boxes
In front of the store today Is proof Of
the fact that this firm is handling an
Immense lot OF goods. 1t also proves
what ADVERTISING will do for a store in
q short :ime1 This store had no trade
built up, inherited NO good will or es'
;tablfshed trade but began from this be-
ginning anu commenced to sell goods
by advertising. The Undertaking
