A GLIMPSE THROUGH THEIR MAM
MOTH DRY GOODS EMPORIUM.
The Largest Establishment of Its Kind In
Southweit Georgia—A House that Han
dle* Only the Be*t and Freshest Stock—
You Get Your Money's Worth There.
And what were you doing down In
town so long this morning pray ? Oh! I
have just come from looking at Wheat-
ley Sc Ansley’s beautiful fashion em
porium, corner Jackson and Forsyth
streets. They have just fitted it up
elegantly within and enlarged their
space, and yet they arc cramped for
room to display advantageously their
magnificent stock.
Goods are packed from tloor to ceiling,
under the counters^ and in a corner not
three feet equare there are $500 or $1,000
worth of goods that are never seen by
the averago customer.
Mr. Charles Ansley, the junior mem
ber of the firm spent three weeks in the
northern markets, and the beautiful and
servicable stock selected, stamps him a
genuine merchant of genius. That he
knows how to buy one 1ms only to look
at what Wheatley A Ansley have.
Goods bought judiciously, means
cheap goods for the customer.
Tlielr dress goods department is re
plete with every novelty, and they are
not going to charge, as is usual for the
novelty, but only bottom prices for the
best goods that can be bought anywhere.
No lady in Americus, nor in tho sur
rounding country, need go elsowhere to
buy a novelty robe of the latest design
and color, for Wheatley Sc Ansley have
everything, from a 10 cent wool to $50
combination suit. Mr. S. P. Stanfield
is in charge of this department. He is
an artist, and if you give him timo he
can drape the exquisite folds of wool
and silk to fashionable perfection. He
knows his business, and liis talents are
only excelled by bis uniform courtesy to
all customers.
There must be at least 300 novelty
suits in bis department, and the beauty
is that no two are alibe in design or col
or. These rich novelties in plain and
fancy weaves are new and exclusive
styles—same identical suits that Lord Sc
Taylor and other New York princely de
signers display in their gorgeous show
windows. They comprise new designs
broideries, tinsels, braids, cords, fur,
silk, plush and velvet figures, beauti
fully combined with plain colors to
mitcli in Bedford cords, plisse, cordu-
rettes, cheviots, cote line, serges and di
agonals. Prices range as follows:
$10.00, $12.00, $14.00, $19.00, $24.00 and
$20.00 per dress.
Then they have everything in gray of
the latest shade and pattern. No 1 idy
considers her wardrobe now complete
without a gray suit. Many exquisite
soft plaids and ladies’ broadcloths, all in
light weights and most serviceable col
ors, specially adapted to tho southern
climate. In fact, there is everything in
black goods of the finest texture. And
colored dress goods, consisting of
striped 8oliol, French armures, English
mohair, crepo cloth, black cheviots,
fancy weaves of Bedford cords, and
storm serge, and flannels of every de
scription, ranging in price from 15c. to
$1.00 per yard.
They are making a special run on the
finest French Henriettas, one yard and a
quarter wide, of every conceivable
slmdo, at tho low prico of $1.00 per
yard. Goods never sold in this market
before for loss than $1.25 and $1 50.
Their silk department is a kalcdio-
scopo of beauty, ami in the stock is every
imaginable shade and textures tine and
rare. Tho old reliable failles never grow*
unfashionable. They carry a largo stock
of black silks of all the latest weaves in
peau do sole armures, luxors and
surahs, ranging in price from 89 cents to
$5.00 per yard. A specialty is made of
parti-colored silks, and to be fashionable
a young lady must purchase her fall dress
from Wheatley Sc Ansley
The notion department is in charge of
Mr John J. Hardy, long known to the
trade of Americus as one of the clever
est and best equipped men in his line.
He will show you the most complete
lino of novelties ever brought to this
market, embracing laces, ties of every

taries; tho very latest trimming out.
Everything new in ladie’s neckwear,

chiefs, in plain, hemstitched and em
broidered designs. They will offer on
