SIMON-PURE MERIT.
From tho Columbus Enquirer.
Wo have repeatedly stated that
among the most prominent, experi
enced and thoroughly josted nmr
chants in the dry goods business ii.
Columbus, Mr. J. 8. Jones stand
conspicuous. The almost pbenoroi
nal success with which he has met in
pleasing the fancy of the public is
largely attributable to the fact that
he fully understands their needs,taste
and notions, whether I hoy L-e whim
sical or otherwise, and as he makes
it a point to he able to stiff all Lis
customers,he keeps an immense stock
in all the various lines of the dry
goods trade. No lady ecu look ai
his dry goods without finding the ar¬
ticle for which sho is in search, if it
be in dress goods. II« has colored
velveteens, plain and brocaded,which
he sells at 75c and $1 per yard; black
50c, ,75c, $1, $1.50. Ho has all sha tes
in the richest plain and cut. velrets
from $1 50 to $G pc r yard. And thoi,
in b:1!;s his stock and assortment aiv
such that it cannot bu exceilc 1 in the
city. In this line he has elegant gru
grain aud rhudame silkii in black and
colors; elegant vhito rep bilks, ele
g“nt baoca led silks and any kind o!
silk desired. His worsted dross goods
commences at 10c and 15c and t>m
braces all the prices—sir 25 j, 35
50o, Cite, 75c, SI, $1.15, $1 50 and $2
Among those g< o W may bj fonu I
all the now fft'uici sno'i as biliiivd
cloths, cashmeres, biso i cloths, str
ges,.tricots, diagcndi, drop d‘a!m:i^;
bis wlm'.tean c'olhs,six quarters wide,
are jnnt wliftt thu la lies’ tailor M.i *
ur« made of which are so popular in
New York.
The truth is the line of dross good.
inthiipopul.il establishment cunmc
bo excelled anywhere in this section
We cannot bug n to nimm-rate tin
various articles he has in dress goods
but wo can recommend to the ladies
his attractive stylos and advise them
to go and sea for themsolvo*. Iv> la
dy should make her fall i n 1 winter
purchases until sho has scan those
goods and obtained his pries.
But Mr Jones dobs not confine a.3
bis tirno aud talents to the ladies.
Ih* gentlemen an 1 b >ys ate bv no
means overlooked. In his stock an*
a full liue of ettssimercs, jeans, ami
tneu's film irnpoited suitings. Ain mg
the latter nio tho latest stylo in diag
ottiila, corkscre w, etc. H i al-o has
the tamous eider down sackings. He
has a very largo line of flannels ait i
blankets from the great auction sale
and will bo sold out at most nvanta
geous prices, lu gent's furnishing
goods ho keeps everything in the way
of shirts, drawers, socks, ties, hand¬
kerchiefs and anything that a gentle¬
man may find useful or oramental
One who looks into these goods will
see that special attention has bent
paid this departinrn v .
While his stock in all tlie various
lines is very attractive indeed, lie will
offer additional inducements to the
trade. He will offer to close a large
lot of gc-uts’ co tired shirts at tho uni
form pi ices of 75 cents, which lie has
been selling at $1, $1.50, and $1.75.
The cause of this cxtraotdinnvy cut
hi price is that tliis particular lineof
goods will not be made any more and
he cannot, therefore, keep tl cm in
st’fck. This being the case, he Las
. <teimin*‘d to close them out at a
very great suer flic.
Iu this popu’ar establishment all
the departments a o well snstaiudud.
He has a beautiful line of chenille aud
silk fringes, braids, button«, and au
endless variety of .novelties." He cor¬
dially invites all parties to cull aud
inspect his stock, as it is no troub’c
for him to show his goods. He is one
of the live merchants who takes much
pleasure in pleasing his customers
and seeing that they are properly
waited upon. His dorks aro all
courteous, affable and po’ite, as well
as attentive. His motto is to make
one tale advertise another, and to do
this tbe goods are sold at prices that
defy coinpetiou. J. S Jo ties’ is the
place to buy dry goods.
