I hose wuo have watched tnepne
- nominal growth of our business and
drank of the cooling waters of low
prices we are giving, know perfectly
, well the reasons
cess, it is said there is not a house
like it in the Nation doing the bus!
nes-s we are doing in a city of 15,000
people. Last week a gentleman
caaiel r.m Pittsburg on purpose to
1' at n. if possible, the cause of our
great trade. After spending two
da , 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 pjactice of high prices, es
tablished beyond doubt that the law
success in merchandise is that oi
Mnall profits and quick sales. That
of reducing the business to Cash, of
mastering with Dollars when we buy
and keeping the mastery when wt
we sell. Under-buy; Under sell.
To every visitor we extend a cordial
invitation to come and see us, to go
all through our House, to get prices
under th l.iw l Dollar Valuations,
and to buy as it will pay y u 10 buy.

Our Qothing Department is and
always has been a success and is now
complete, with the exception of a few
dozen suits and a nice lot of fine
Striped and Plaid Pants, which will
arrive this week, we can nt all
sizes 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 buving
our Spring Stock, and for 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
it is about all gone. True, we can't
sell you the new and regular stock
at so cents ou the dollar but we can
and will let you have it at a saving
of at Kvist 20 per cent cheaper than
you buy it elsewhere. It will pay
vouiosee our business suits from
7 so up in all the latest patterns in
Cheviots. Cassimeres, - Flannels.

men to wait on our trade. We are
using every effort in this department
to lead the house, and under the

Harvey Hood, we shall not hesitate
to say to the leaders in other depart
ments, look out for your laurels or
your departments will be behind.
