notations may seem
out of place in the matter-of-fact ad

thc nail so squarely on the head, that

Gentlemen, make up yonr mind
that tho advice given by "Polonius”
to his son, who was jnst setting ont
for Paris, tho most fashionable city of
the world, (“As Costly” etc.,) is as
good to day ns jt.wns when he lived,
and had wo been in existence at that
time, ho would undoubtedly have add

House for thy apparel.’’
A well dressed man is certainly the
noblest work of the tailors art.
• To be well dressed does not imply a
forge expenditure of money, for
clothes are so cheap (with ns) that it
takes but few dollars to fit a gentleman
out from top to toe.
You’ll all admit that neat, form-fit-
ig and tasteful garments induce a
fellow to feel likc ho is somebody of
importance, even if he isn’t. Haven’t
you noticed it?
You’ve all heard of the “McKinley
Tariff,” well it has sent cloths up 20
per cent. That will be a plausible ex
cuse for some concerns for advancing
the price of clothes, but the advance
doesn't bother us even a little bit.

season, and intend to maintain our
acknowledged lead of “Lowest Prices.”
Don’t forget our "ORDER” De
