We offer the greatest array of Hats
ever seen h- re. Through our New
York house we buy direct from
manufacturers. The line' between
Retailers and Wholesale dealers is
distinctly drawn in mercantile life
Manufacturer! who sell the retail
trade cannot sell the iobber The
jobber to succeed must be protected
o tnat ne can sen ine rejrau dealer.
No retail merchant can buy goods as
a iobber. He must have an interest
directly or indirectly to reach the
markets through a . jobber or his
right to buy at the prices named to a
iobber, are cut'ofl and. hecan not) get
the jobbers ! prices, and when you
hear a retail merchant telling of his
ability to bur goods in and of him
self juffi; a a jobber buys you set
that down as a nrstake . If we could
