CHARLOTTE, N.C, WEDNESDAY EVENINGS, APRIL 30, 1890.
NUMBER 4 34,
Those who have watched the phe
nominal growth of our business and
drank of the cooling waters of low
prices we are giving, know perfectly
well the reasons for our great suc
cess. It is said there is not a house
like it in the Nation doing the busi
ness we arc doing in a citY 1 1 15,000
people. Last week a gentleman
came from Pittsburg on purpose to
learn, if possible, the cause of our
great trade. After spending two
da' s, he said to the writer he would
not have missed it for an hundred
dollars. He had gathered up new
ideas ol business success. The truth
is our s.kccss has exploded the the
ory and practice of high priies, es
tablished beyond doubt that the law
and id having Scarf and Four-in-hands
road-just to suit the especial
tasfe nl the most fastidious.

lown to any price you want.
