A Few Words About a Trustworthy
House and the Trustworthy Goods
They SelL .
On February 22d, 1891, the firm of
C. M. Vanstory & Co. appeared upon
the business stage of Greensboro.
Their initiative bow to ihe i public
seemed to please. Their welcome was
cordial, but some . wondered why they
started and were skeptical of their
success. But the people found that
their new-fangled ideas were I pretty
good ones for the buyer and! before
they bought their clothing they just
dropped around to see what they
could do at Vanstory's; "they bought;
were pleased. Others' M dropped
around and did likewise j until the
continued dropping became ja veritable
trade shower far too large! tof be ac
commodated by the modest little store
that the firm began business in. There
was one of two things to be done,! This
turn the trade away or get a larger j mera not
i store.
J an up-to-dat
; 50x100 feet in dimensions. Elm street
j is the 44 Piccadilly " of Greensboro and
their location at Nos. 236 and 238 is
right in the busiest part of this
thoroughfare. It is a fine store on j
the 'outside, but you should see the
inside. That is just the reason we
ed in their making? The dozens of j
small articles that are necessary to a
gentleman's toilet are to be . found
on the shelves and in the showcases.
TAILOR MADE CLOTHING.
Those who prefer clothing made to j
order can be suited at Vanstory's for ;
they make a specialty of men's fine j
suits to measure and they, are always
perfect fitting, stylish and right up-to-date
so much so in fact that the
name of " Vanstorv has become a
synonym of fine clothing to .the peo- i
pie of this section.
MAIL AND EXPRESS ORDERS.
Many folks from all over this State ;
South Carolina and Virginia find that j
they can save money by ordering by 1
mail. They simply write to C. M. Van-
story & Co., Greensboro, N. C, tell
them what they want, the order is j
filled and the express or mail does the
delivering and saves all trouble and j
expense of railroad fare.

those thousands who have used it and
to others who would reap the benefits
of its use a brief history of this medi

some specific remedy that would pene

and soreness from bruises, sprafns
and cuts, prepared a liniment for his
