THE, DRY GOODS EMPORIUM OF CLINTON.
One of the. greatest follies tha
• �, t we could be guilty -of
would be to 'advertise' what we could not carry :out. ' It .would-:
be all' nonsense to Spend hundreds of dollars annually1xtalk-'.
ing about our immense establishment•. and our great•stock,'of
.goods.if we did not do just 'what we say. We .,spend, a. great
Ileal. of -money in advertising; and must say, •wjth` considerable
success. .The principle being that We mean just what we say.
in all our advertisements
For example, we• advertised `•a white 'shirt at 52, cents,
which we said was worth a dollar, the result being that we sold
ovnx' 125 :anti the people crying out for more leng after the sup-
ply was exhausted. We • advertised. a line of cheap tweeds
which were a wonderful bargain, and the were soon gobbled
up. . The cheap'•line of Halifax Tweeds at 0 cents we're adver-
tised, and the result, over 500 yards were . est ibuted over the
county; and so on with all our bargains.'
W ..do business on a cash principle, and claim that oils
prices are the'lowest; quality, workmanshi and style consider.
d. Our.w-ho1e energies are devoted to the working up of the
most. successful Clothin y and Furni hing House in the west,
and ifhard work,push.tiancl enthusiasm will do it we will get there
We believe it to be a fact that our stock of goods, for. Variety, Quality and
Low. prices, is not equalled in this section, and .people who appreciate'such a com-
binatio>!i, should pay us a r'isit and look through our establishment; At the pres-
