Down at the corner of Fourth and
Main there is and for many years
has been dry goods store bearing
the name: "Mathers." This estab-
lishment was founded many years ago
by the elder Mathers, who has long
since passed to his reward, his son,

the present owner
Mr.. Mathers, who owns the building
in which his tasty stock is display
ed, recently enlarged and improved
the main room, giving ample space
for his already extensive stock of dry
goods. mems furnishings and shoes.
Mr.. Olcott, a veteran in the mercan-
tile business, is a valuable adjunct to
the store, while Bert Norris, the ac-
commodating shoe clerk, has long ago
forgotten the primary days of shoe
fitting
oh yes, there are a number of lady
clerks, and among these is Miss Ber-
nice Meyer, the corsetierre, who can
tell you which style of Gossard corset
is best adapted to your style of figure.
On the landing half way to the
second floor, will be found a rest
room for tired shoppers, and on the
upper floor is the ready-to-wear and
millinery department, where the
famous Palmer garments hold carni-
val.
Mathers' store is one of the oldest
and best established institutions of
our city and will doubtless remain
Mathers' store for another generation.

Worth While at seabourn's.


Seabourns-the Store with a Heart.
This popular store was purchased by
Mr.. George Seabourn about two years
ago. though the stock was not near
ly so handsome and complete as at
the present time. The owner has
gradually changed things about and
by a system of conservative business
management made it one of the very
best to be found
While the largest part of the stock
is furniture. there is also a notions
and mems furnishing department, a
china and glassware section and a
tailoring department. There is also
a full line of toys, books, dolls and
other holiday goods. and at this time
of the year the place looks very at
tractive and Chrismassy.
The stock of goods is splendid
one, but by no means the least of the
attractions is the genial personality
and uniform courtesy of Mr. Seabourn
and his wife. Courtesy is the watch
word here and the patron who wants
pair of shoe laces receives the same
scrupulous consideration as the one
who wants to furnish a home. One
need not feel obligated to buy be-
cause he asks to see things. but it
is almost certain that II one really
wants to buy he will find what he
wants here.
All the yeor through, whatever
your needs may be, Seabourns will be
glad to serve you.

Variety Store.

Variety Store.
The world is so full of a number
of things" and among them is variety
stoares: for who ever heard of a
town without its Racket Store or Va
riety Store or whatever the name
might be, with its endless stock of
everything?
The Delta Variety Store, until re-
Gently known as the Racket Store,
is owned and personally conducted
by Mr. and Mrs. w w. Warner, and
the only exception to the rule is that
the stock carried by them is far su-
perior in quality and variety to any
other found in a medium sized city.
There is no cheap riff-raff goods there
and especially now at holiday time
the Variety Store is decidedly popu-
lar as a place to find just what you
want. II really looks like Santa
Claus headquarters.
In addition to the supply of every
thing needed for housekeeping they
have a good line of holiday goods
books and toys, and at prices within
the reach of war time purse.
