this stock embraces innumerable ar
ticles of daily use in every house
hold, which must be seen to be APP
preciated. 1t is a 5. 10 and 25 cent
store. and at these prices may be
bought articles for which much more
money is often charged at ordinary
stores. The house is enjoying an eX-
tensive trade. extending far into the
country. because it is recognized as
place where practically every small
article used in the modern home can
be had and much cheaper than else
where 1t is practically headquar-
ters for the numerous articles so
generally required about the house.
and at such low prices that it would
be highly appropriate if the enter
prising proprietor would adopt the
motto and display sign bearing the
words. big Bundle, Little Money

Prescott from Gurdon about year
ago and established the business
which has been a success from the
start. w. F. has been in business at
Gurdon for years. and is still con-
Quoting store similar to this one.

there soon and Paul will show you
some unheard of bargains.

yet liable to carry infection into the

washed as white as snow with a min
imum of wear. Five years ago j. ..
Grow came to Prescott and pur-
chased the laundry plant then in eX-
istence. and at once commenced to
overhaul the same and install new
machinery. Since that time he has
been continually adding TO the plant,
with the result that today it is
equipped with all the latest anu
most modern machinery. which has
been selected with view of produe-
ing the finest of work and the thor
ough washing and disinfecting or
clothes with as little wear and tear as
possible. A faint idea of the amount
of work done by this establishment is

IMON GEE MERCANTILE co.
Foremost General Merchandise
House Doing Large Business.

A great factor in the commercial
life of Prescott, and one which Is of
potent value since it helps 20 form a
permanent basis for the steady
growth and advancement of the city's
trade. is the large general merchan-
disc house of Imon Gee & Co. The
business of the house was first estab-
llshed seven years ago, but was pur-
chased by the present owners on the
first of January, this year, and with
spacious premises on the corner of
Front and East Elm streets. the
building being 50 by 125 feet in d.
mansions, and a stock comprising
everything usually kept by an up-to-
Gate general merchandise house, it Is
not surprising that il is ENJOYING one
OF the best trades of any store in the
city. Lady shoppers never have to
go elsewhere for anything in the line

tons, laces, embroideries, trimmings
OF all kinds and the 1.001 articles in
ladies' furnishings, while the Stephen
Putney shoes are carried in large as
soEtment, showing everything from
the heavy work shoe to the lighter,
neat and stylish grades for street or
dress wear. In the grocery depart
ment is found everything desirable in
all well-known and popular brands
of table delicacies, the Blue Noun

quantities of flour and feed are
handled and Mr.. Gee is always

prevailing market prices for every
thing the farmer has to sell, with
the possible exception of cotton. In
all respects this house IL a popular
and high-class institution and its sue
cess with the people, especially since

commercial achievement of which to
be proud. Mr.. Gee was born and

say that she is valuable assistant is
putting 1T mildly. Mrs. Gee is one
of the most amiable of women, yet
possessed of such sound judgment
and keen business tact that her ser
vices have done much in forwarding
the standing of the store. Mrs. Gee
Is in every way a practical business
woman who takes pride in seeing
