There is not one Of us but that
like to see our ladies well dressed,
and we all know that a lady will find
it impossible to be well dressed with
out a prettily trimmed hat or bonnet.
But in Wheeling large number OF
our ladies to whom great credit Is
given for knowing how to dress prop
erly and to keep in the style, are in
the habit Of buying their hats and
bonnets from the millinery establish
ment Of George w. WORKS, 1858 Main
street. They know that by so doing
they are going to be in the latest style
and they also know that they are GO
ing to get their millinery goods at
much lower price than Is character
istic Of a great many other similar
places of business. The fact is that
many of our ladies have gotten so
much In the habit Of buying their
millinery creations here that they
are 10th to think Of any other place
of business dealing in the same line
Of goods. We may add that the
prices Of goods at this store are most
reasonable, when the high class Of
goods is taken into consideration.

we are sure that if our readers will
give the place patronage they will be
pleased because of having done so.
The goods there are pure, and they
are reasonable in price: the place Is

and truthfully, too. that he has de-
voted SO much of his time to this

nothing in the business but that he Is

his familiarity with his business and
the goods which he handles makes

benefit to his customers. The Ma
jority would consider that now is
about the proper time for our ladies
to call at this business place, and
we know they will be pleased if they

in this city Of high standing and one
to which we would refer in our an
nual review as friendly to labor and
its interests. is that conducted by

THE ACORN LIQUOR CO..

For the purest possible wines and
liquors at wholesale prices the Ma
jority would advise that the Acorn
Liquor Co.. 1911 and 1918 Main
street, be patronized. and then our
people will not only be satisfied that
they are getting the purest and best
but they will also know full well that
they are getting these goods at the
most reasonable prices. It may seem
like broad assertion. but we: know
that the goods handled by thfs' pop
ular company are the best and pur-
est and most reasonable to be found
in our city. and we know that large
number Of the readers Of this paper
have been patrons of, this company
for several years. and we also. are
Of the Impression that several more
Of our readers will become patrons Of
the place in the near future. This
place Of business is conducted under
the management of Samuel Unger-
leider, a gentleman who has always
been most friendly to our cause in
the past.

WILLIAM voCKLER.

The Wholesale and retail leather
dealer in Q city like Wheeling has
his hands full. for there is so much
territory In the immediate vicinity
which demands the best of goods of
this character that sometimes the
flrat-class dealer has hard time
keeping up with his orders. William
Yockler, 224S-50 Main street, dealer
at Wholesale and retail in all sorts
OF feathers. is q business man who
has kept our people supplied with
leather for several years, and he has
accomplished this at the most reason
able prices. and he, has given to the
people the very highest grades of all
kinds of leather. It is true that his
trade is Increasing as each month
goes on. but it lie Just as true that he
Is eQuipping himself constantly with
stock so that he will be able to cope
with any circumstance which pre-
SCENTS itself. We would like for our
shoe dealers and our readers in gem
eral to take cognizance Of this place
Of business and patronize it in the

EMIL HACKENBERG.

It has been often remarked by the
people of Wheeling and vicinity that
if everyone conducted their places of
business along the same lines as does
Emil Hackenberg, 2255-2257 Market
street, there would not be the least
complaint of the saloon business in
general. Ever since he embarked in
the saloon business Mr. Hackenberg
has adhered strictly to the law; he
has been careful in the handling of
his goods so that his customers will
get only the purest and best Of wines
and liquors, and that they will only
pay the most reasonable prices for
them. He has allowed absolutely
nothing to be done at his saloon at
which the least possible offense could
be had. and he has kept at all times
within the bounds of the law. But
that is the reason why his place Of
business has the patronage of so
many of our people, and it is also
the reason that these patrons are ask
ing others to deal there also. 1t is a
good place.

At no other place OF business in the
city Of Wheeling can furniture, car

reasonable. rate than at the splendid
place of business of William Graham
g. Sons. 1144 Main street. and at no
other place can better or more sub
stantial furniture be purchased, no
matter what the article Is that is
needed. This energetic business
company. the Majority knows, has
been engaged in this business for a
good many years. and the Majority
also knows that they will continue to

formed by them that the price is
right for that piece of furniture, you
may place the utmost reliance in it.

JOSEPH BuCH.

Joseph Buch, that weH known citi-
zen of Wheeling. who has saloon at
2230 Market street, one which is well
patronized by the working forces Of
Wheeling and vicinity. has always
gone under the principle that the best
and purest goods is what counted in
gaining custom in this business, and
since his beginning in the saloon bus
mess he has always kept the purest
and best of goods. That he has
never deviated from his original idea
of the manner in which to conduct a
business of this kind is the reason
that his trade is> urging others to
patronize his bar. and these others,
if they accept this advice, will also be
pleased to recommend the place of
business highly to others. Mr.. Buch
conducts an orderly saloon at all
times, and not of the Majority read
ers need have the least fear of going
there at any time. for they will be
