It is said there is not a house Jike it in the Nation doing the busi ne s we are doing in a citY of 15,000 people. La&t week a gentlem.m came from Pittsburg on purpose to learn, if possible, the cause of our great trade. After spending to da s, he said to the writer he would not have missed it for an hundred dollars. He had gathered up new ideas of business success. The truth is our success has exploded the the ory and practice of high prices, s lablishd beyond doubt that uWJaw f success in merchandise b that of naall profits and quick sales. That of reducing the business to Cash, of mastering with Dollars when we buy and keeping the mastery when we we sell. Under-buy; Uoder-sell. To every visitor we extend a cordial invitation to come and see us, to go all through our House, to get pri es under the law ot DolliT Valuations, and to buy as it will pay yu to buy.

We can fit all sues of men the tall and slim, the short and stout the long stout and the regular shapes. The styles in both colors and cuts are very nobby and tastily conceived this season, and we are not behind in procuring them only in one respect and that is to your advantage. We were a little behind other merchants in buying our Spring Stock, and (or this rea son we have bought a stock 15 to 20 per cent less than they who bought earlier. Crowds have stood around our counters for the past two weeks eager to select from the Durham stock at 50 cents on the dollar until tt is about all gone. True, we can t sell you the new and regular stock at so cents on the dollar but we can and will let you have it at a saving of at least 20 per cent cheaper than you buy it elsewhere.
