Appel & Schaul.
This leading firm continues to prow
Into prominence, notw ithstandinp the
general depression of tin* tinu-s People
must wear clothes, and they soon find out
where they can get satisfactory garments
for their money This house has contin
ued to attract the attention of buyers
ever since it was < stablished. Their
course in business lias been watched with
interest b.v an ndmirinp public, who have
aeon them stick close to their undertaking,
havinp the moral courage to stand by
their excellent system of doinv business,
no matter what competitors did to "stir
up trade.” They have adhered to
their original plan of marking
their poods in plain figures
at the beginning of theseason. thus avoid
ing the deception sometimes practiced by
merchants, of selling goods at high prices
when the season, opens ami the demand
is good, only to reduce the prices when
they wish to revive business at the end
Of the season.
Appel A Schaul have made unusual
preparations for the coming fall and w in
ter's trade Their New York resident
buyer has s[>ent the summer, with ready
cash in hand, among the manufacturers
of the north, and has therefore taken ad
vantage of the great stringency of money
in the trade, and has ordered the finest
line of men's and boy's clothing
and furnishing goods that has ever been
exhibited in this city: and at a cost far
below the former price of production. The
customers of this tlrm will be offered the
advantages which have been secured by
them and the season will open with "One
Price to All,” ana that price the lowest.
They have replenished their stock of
Dr. Jaeger's sanatory system of woolen
underwear, for which goods they are sole
agents. These valuable garments are
pronounced by every physician of note in
this and foreign countries as the only
purely sanatory article in the world.
They carry a large stock of these goods
on hand at all times for ladies, children
and men. and they would he pleased to
mail catalogues of Dr Jaeger s sanitary
goods to anyone upon application.
They do quite an extensive country
trade and enjoy the confidence of the peo
ple generally. The mail order depart
ment, being under the personal super
vision of one of the members of the firm,
all orders from out of the city receive the
very best and promptest attention. They
particularly solicit C. O. D. orders, with
privilege of examination. This firm also
does an extensive jobbing business, and
country merchants would consult their
own interests best by calling in and
looking through their jobbing depart
ments, or write for samples.
Taking it on the whole, Appel & Schaul
have always sustained the very enviable
reputation they have attained for honesty
in their methods. A corps of courteous
clerks are in attendance at all times and
the most polite attention is accorded all
who favor their parlor clothiug establish
ment with a call.
A. S. Nichols
On Broughton street we find Mr.
A. S. Nichols, a merchant whose many
years of experience most eminently lit
him to fill the jiosition ho now occupies,
that of being chief caterer to the public
in the shoe and hut trade. Beau Brum
mel, when he nee is some articles in this
specific line, goes to Nichols’ place, where
either the proprietor or one of his trained
corps of assistants serves him with i>or
fect satisfaction. The farmer comes in
to town with torn hat and worn and
worthless brogans; to rznew and replenish
them, he goes to Nichols also. So from
the highest to the loweit. all are trenlel
alike. Nichols makes a specialty of those
articles which are supposed to ornament
and adorn the two extremities. He
plays the contortionist in so much as
having the two lines of goods (hats and
shoes) meet on a common level of cheap
ness and excellence. The proprietor is
clever and engaging, the clerks are
thoroughly’ trained and eager to serve
vou; so whether you are town or country
bred, w hen in need of [goods in Nicholi’
line go and see him.

HOW 111 WAKE IP" THE
MUSIC TRADE.
Tbe Great Southern Music House of
Ludden & Bates
Determines to Bring Out the Cash by
Seducing Prices and Offering Great
Bargains for Thirty Days.
It is pretty well settled among stu
dents of political economy that about
once in ten years there comes a serious
depression in business, amounting fre
quently to a great panic At such times
all the people who have money lose their
confidence in banks and in most forms of
regular investment and take their money
out of circulation to lock it up where it
may be “safe,” but where it does no one
any good, and helps to intensify the gen
eral p-nic to such an extent that all busi
ness, both speculative and legitimate, is
almost brought to a standstill for lack of
cash with which to operate.
When trouble of this sort comes, the
problem of every merchant is not how to
do business enough, but how to keep the
volume of cash trade in proportion to
tiiat done on credit. One of the
means often adopted is to reduce expenses
in every way, aud then reduce the margin
of profit on cash trade, offering such in
ducements to cash buyers as will tempt
tile money out of the poekets of those
who are hoarding it.
This is the plan pursued by the Ludden
it Bates Southern Music House. It is
generally well known that this hffuse
does by far the largest trade of the south,
and even in these hard times now upon
us, this great establishment finds its
trade steadily increasing. The only fault
to be found is that customers with cash
are scarce, most of them preferring to
hoard what ready money they have, and
to buy on easy installments.
For this reason Ludden & Bates have
decided to make a great spot cash sale at
wonderfully low prices, and their full
page advertisement in tliis issue contains
the most attractive list of genuine bar
gains ever placed before southern cus
tomers. The prices are in plain print,
with a brief description of the instru
ments offered, and the list contains
simply the representative bargains to be
found in the great stock of the L. it B. S.
M. H. White the instruments offered are
cut down to a very small profit, no varia
tion will he made from the regular plans
of sale. Every buyer will have the privi
lege,of fifteen days free trial, and if the
piano or organ selected is not satisfactory
it can he returned at expense of the L. As
B. S. M. H. A free outfit will also be
given with each instrument and the
freight will be paid by the L. & B. S. M. H.
Every one who has the least idea of
buying in the near future should eorrest
pond with L. &B. immediately, as they
are assured that they can obtain such
bargains within the next thirty days as
are not likely to be offered in years.
It should be borne in mind also, that a
very large proportion of the instruments
offered are from the regular standard list
of instruments represented by L. & 8.,
and are manufactured by makers of the
highest reputation.
The standing of Ludden & Bates’
Southern Music House is so well-knows
throughout the south that comment in
almost superfluous. It may not be so
well-known, however, that during the
past year Ludden & Bates has discon
tinued somo of its former agencies—es-
tablishing in place of the same branch
houses in charge of competent employes,
who carry out the instructions and gen
eral business methods of the house to the
letter. Thus every customer can be cer
tain of getting all the advantages offered
by the Ludden & Bates Southern Music
House, whether he deals direct with the
tnainhouse at Savannah or with any of the
branches. Among the new enterprises
thus begun are fine stores at—
Macon. Georgia.
Columbus, Georgia.
Brunswick, Georgia.
Raleigh, North Carolina.
Charlotte, North Carolina.
Knoxville, Tennessee.
New Orleans. 1/iuisana.
The house has also large and important
agencies in
Columbia, South Carolina.
Charleston, South Carolina.
Augusta, Georgia.
Rome, Georgia.
Goldsboro, North Carolina.
Asheville, North Carolina.
Montgomery. Alabama.
Mobile. Alabama.
Meridian, Mississippi.
St. Augustine, Florida.
Ocala. Florida.
and a host of smaller agencies, nearly
every section of importance being repre
sented, from Virginia to Texas.
The management of the business re
mains in the same hands to which it has
been entrusted for years past. Mr. W.
Ludden, president. Mr. J. A. Bates vice
president: Mr. Jaspersen Smith, treas
urer: Mr. John 1). Murphy, secretary.
The policy of the house is of the same en
terprising and vigorous character as al
ways. and every one of the business prin
ciples which have contributed to make
this house the first and foremost of its
kind in the south, is as unswervingly
carried out as ever in the his.ory of the
house.
This position of of L. & B. in the music
trade is so well established that its trade
is sought by the leading manufacturers of
America. It has however been the policy
of the house only to connect itself with
makers of the very highest reputation
and consequently it handles only the
pianos and organs of such celebrated
houses as Steinway & Sons. Mason it
Hamlin, Mathushek aud Sterling. These
names are household words, not only in
the south hut all over the world. The
Steinway piano is the choice of the
greatest artists and is frequently the
piano of the musician—and the indiapen
siblo adjunct of every fashionable home.
The groat triumph of Messrs. Steinway
■V Sons at the world's fair when
Paderewski declined to 1 play upon any
piano but the Steinway will be well re
membered.
The name of Masons Hamlin is also one
of the best known m the musical worid.
They make organs which are exported to
every part of the world, and their pianos
are justly regarded as possessing quali
ties which would ito credit to any maker.
The Mathushek is par excellence, the
people s favorite. More of these pianos
are to-day iti southern homes than of any
thro- other makes combintsl -and they
have nearly alt been v id by Ludden ,V
Hates' Southern Music House, whieh has
represented this piano for nearly twenty
years
The well known .Sterling pianos and
organs still maintain their place as th
very best instrument* sold at their price
the world over They aro the very em
hodiment of all that can la: ex|>octed in a
moderate prieed instrument*, beautiful
in tone, delicate in touch, good iu work
manship and finish.
The popularity of the instruments
handled by the Ludden .V Hates Southern
Music House and the winping power of
its business methods are shown by the
fact that in the face of the hardest times
known for twenty years the trade of the
house shows a steady increase and was
never in a more flourishing condition.
Every customer is regarded as a friend,
ami no effort is spared to please. The
greatest safeguard is offered every buyer,
from the fact that the house has but
ONE I’RICE to all. Its instruments are
sold at prices lower than those asked at
the factories, and the least experienced
buyer can purchase as safely and cheaply
by correspondence as can the most care
ful and experienced trader. The house
makes a great feature of its direct cor
respondence trade, and invites everyone to
write as often and as fully as possible.
In addition to its great stock of pianos and
organs the Ludden & Bates Music House
carries the largest stock of small instru
ments such as violins, guitars banjos,
flutes, accordeons, band instruments to be
found in the south, and its trade in music
and music books is one of the largest in
the country. Every one will be repaid by
looking through the advertisement and
bargain list on the first page of this issue,
and all are invited to write for informa
tion at once, as such bargains as are there
offered must go off at once.
JOHNSON’S CHILL
AND FEVER TONIC.
Its Progress, Development and
Growth.
An Insignificant Beginning Leads to
the Establishment of a Large Busi
ness Scarcely a Home in South Car
olina, Gergia, Florida and Alabama
Not Acquainted With Johnson’s
Chill and Fever Tonic,
in ISS4, when Johnson’s Chill and Fever
Tonic was first offered to the public as a
remedy, the proprietors did not even sug
gest its use. except in ordinary cases of
chills and fever. For this troublesome
disease, the remedy was strongly advo
cated by every one who had had any per
sonal experience with it. Owing to its
cheap price, and the invariable cures
which resulted, its use was extended and
experiments made by those who were
more interested in its use. This resulted
in a deluge of letters from all over the
four states in which we were operating,
advising us that we might go much
further in our recommendation of our
remedy, and still be within the
bounds of strict truth. We found
that reliable men from various
points and remote from each other would
strongly urge us to recommend the rem
edy for bilious fever. Others advocated
its use in the treatment of typhoid fever.
Again, others who had tried it in cases of
neuralgia insisted that it was a specific
for this trouble, and ujion investigation
we found this simple non-poisonous rem
edy would cure these troubles promptly.
Again, a prominent South Florida drug
gist wrote us at length as to his experi
ence with it in treating measles He
found that the remedy controlled the ac
companying fever and invariably pre
vented relapses. His town had been in
vaded by a very malignant type of this
disease, and he found that those who
could lie persuaded to take the, Johnson's
Tonic would invariably get through with
out trouble.
Finally when the dreaded disease, la
grippe, made its appearance in this coun
try, we received a long letter from W. W
Caldwell of Chicago, who urged upon us
the necessity of making it known, that
Johnson's Tonic would positively cure
this disease in twenty-four hours. He
had arrived at the conclusion that the
disease was of malarial origin, and hav
ing unbounded faith and confidence in
Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic as a spe
cific for any disease of a malarial charac
ter. he tried the tonic with the result
that it effected a cure in every instance.
In no instance did the proprietors of
the remedy urge or suggest its use for
any disease except chills and fever, uutil
reliable and responsible, men had
discovered for themselves the fart that it
was a cure for some certain trouble.
They investigated the circumstances, and
when proof was at hand to corroborate
these statements, then the disease was
added to the list of the diseases that the
remedy was recommended to cure.
In this way, one by one, the names of
the diseases the remedy is now recom
mended to cure were added, and in every
single instance the recommendation was
the suggestion of some outside and disin
terested party, and always responsible
and trustworthy.
One feature of the remedy should be
kept in mind. If we recommend its use
in a case of fet’er we guarantee a cure.
If we recommend it to cure neuralgia, the
recommendation is followed by our guar
ante"—our promise to return the money
if the one single 50 cent bottle does not
effect a permanent cure. In treating
fevers with Johnson's Tonic, there is no
danger of a return of the fever on the
usual seventh, fourteenth, twenty-first dr
twenty-eighth days. The cures effected
are permanent ones. Ninety-nine times
out of a hundred the remedies usually
employed by the medical profession
in treating fevers are poisonous. Such
remedies can only be used under the di
rection and by advice of medical men.
Aconite, gelsemium, veratruro, arsenic,
and the lone list of modern antipyretics,
are all poison. One of the best features
of Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic is that
while the best effect is obtained in doses
of two teaspoonfuls, yet the contents of
three bottles could be taken at one dose by
a healthy adult without any unpleasant
effects.
Such a remedy especially rec
ommends itself to the use of the great
mass of people. No bad results can pos
sibly follow its use or misuse.
Being prompt in its action, no time is
wasted, 21 hours being sufficient to arrest
the progress of the disease and effect a
cure.
If the people knew of this great medi
cine, and could properly appreciate its
value, quinine would drop out of use alto
gether rand the dangerous anti pyretics
would be studiously avoided. Remedies <
liable to suspend the action of the heart
altogether are too heroic to be resorted to
in the treatment of any disease.
Heart failure is anew disease, eoinci
dent with the introduction of modern
remedies, which many physicians, in their
haste, have supplanted quinine with.
In the treatment of chills and fever,
bilious or typhoid fever, swamp or hem
orrhagic fever; measles, neuralgia and
la grippe, Johnson s Chill and Fever Tonic
is recommended and every bottle guaran
teed to effect a permanent and lasting
cure.
