OlrlCCly OdSn, no DellVerV
Business
~ UR SALES since opening our Monte
- Vista store have far exceeded our ex.
T3T pectations, and this very liberal pat
ronage on the part of the people convinces
us that the strictly cash, no delivery, cut
price system is what the people want.
We are constantly looking for opportunities to
give the trade merchandise for their
money, and knowing that the more goods we
sell, the cheaper sell them, we have de-
cided to branch out and increase sales by
opening another store in the San Luis valley.
The store will open for business May 24h
in Alamosa, and with this additional outlet for
merchandise expect sales to be $780,
10000 in the next twelve months
We carry immense stocks of high grade |
merchandise; visit the eastern markets every
ninety days purchasing the newest styles and
fabrics; pay cash for our goods, thereby saw
ing all discounts; guarantee all merchandise
we sell; refund the money for all goods re-
turned; sell strictly for cash, and do not
maintain an expensive delivery system.
DO NOT FAIL TO GET YOUR TICKETS
When purchasing at store. A 10 cent ticket
is given with evey 10 cent purchase, and
give you dishes for the tickets
We want you to join the hundreds of satisfied
customers that visit store every day, and if
you are not regular customer of ours, you pay
too much for the necessities of life

BIG BENEFIT PLAY TO BE
GIVEN IN MONTE VISTA

L n o De utlful extravaganza
America" taken from the great
spectacle of same name that was
given at Chicago during the
Worlds Fair, is to be reproduced
in Monte Vista by 130 local talent,
as benefit to the P. E. O. Society,
at Broadway opera house on Fri.
day night, May 30.
The opening scene represents an
enchanted island that Columbus
has discovered, presided over by
two lovely mortals, the Queen of
the City and Goddess of Night,
with their attendants, to whom a
bevy of fairies and many fascinat-
ing Amazon girls will pay court.
There will be an Indian scene
where the chief of the tribe at
tempts to kill some Puritans who
are going to church, but the Prin-
cess interferes and saves their
lives. "The Newsboys' Drill and
Chorus" is very laughable.
The Spanish court scene of 1892,
with Queen Isabella and King
Ferdinand occupying the throne;
with the stately court ladies and
queens guards in attendance; the
arrival of Christopher Colum bus
with Indians from the new world; :;
the graceful little court dancer and
a fine court singer make brilliant
opening to the second part.
There are many fine specialties,
including a scarf movement and
song and chorus by the Grecians.
The closing number is a "Good-
Bye Chorus" by the Amazons in
natty military costumes.
Madam Vesta Dodge Hartzell,
who is training the cast, has had
much experience in directing large
affairs, and her press comments are
most flattering.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internal
.ly, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing it's
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in it's curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for

hurriedly sought Mayor Bloom to de-

An amount of 100000 was to be

given leaves S1O4 900 yet to be raised
The time limit of the initial offer of

will be extended
The alumni are carrying on loyal
