Mk. 1 ; .11 i l I I L '' ft Those who have watched the pbe 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 are doing in a citY of 15,000 people. Last week a gentleman came from Pittsburg on purpose to le rn if possible, the cause of our great trade. After spending two days, he said to the1 writer he would not have missed it for an hundred dollars. He had gathered up new i Jeas of business success. The truth is our success has exploded the the ory and practice of high prices, es tablished beyond doubt tlat the law of success in merchandise is that of small 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. U-der-buy; Under-srll. To every visitor weexten.1 a cordial invitation to come and sec us. to po all through our House, to get prices under the law ot DolUr Valuations, aid to buv as it will pay yni to buy.

Broad Brims and Narrow, all kinds of Hats We offer the greatest array of Hats ever seen here. Through our New York house we buy. direct from manufacturers. The . line between Retailers and Whole-tale dealers is distinctly drawn in mercantile life; Manufacturers who sell the retail trade cannot sell the iobber. The jobber to succeed must be protected so loai nc can scu me retau neater. No retail merchant can buy goods as a jobber. He must have an interest directly or indirectly to reach the markets through a iobber or his right to buy at the prices earned to a jobber are cut ofl and he can not get me jobbers tmces, and when vou hear a retail merchant telling of his anility to buy goods in and of him self just as a iobber buyC you -set thftt ftoJrn"as a mistake.
