we trust a healthier state of things ts in the future.
Our Dress Materials have had a steady sale, and give great satisfaction; their quality and unsurpassed cheapness make them very tempting. Black Cashmeres and Lustres are in great request, in “ snips” of 8 to 16 yards.
We have recently received a new lot of Gents’ Spring Over- coats and Suits, also a lot of Suits for Boys; all at very low prices.
Gents’ wear of all kinds we find to go-off very rapidly. We call especial attention to our Fine Black Broadcloth, Tweeds, Linders and Drawers, Ties, Paper and Linen Collars, Hosi- ery, &c.
