GREAT NEW STORE
FOR BUFFALO
The Sweeney Co. Will Soon Open a
Department Store on the Site of
the Barnes & Hengerer Estab
lishment-Interesting Facts About
a Mammoth Enterprise.
STORY OF AN
HISTORIC SITE
The most historic site in Western
New York, as well as the most famous,
is the location of the now store of The
Sweeney Company at Nos. 256-2(58
Main Street, Buftalo.
It was way back in 1845 that Mr. C.
J. Hamlin first established a general
merchandise store in Buffalo, and in
1860 T. J. Mensden & Co., in which
store Mr. Hamlin was interested, open
ed a carpet and wall paper establish
ment in the same location where The
Sweeney Company will begin business
early in May.
In 1861, that memorable year, and on
the very day that Fort Sumpter was
fired upon, the firm of Hamlin & Mens
den opened a remodeled store on the
same site for the sale of dry goods.
Since that time there have been many
changes. In 1866 the firm of Falkner,
Potts & Jackson were the proprietors
of tho store, and they were succeeded
in 1868 by Barnes & Bancroft, which
firm later became Barnes & Hengerer
and the William Hengerer Company.
The Hengerer firm has recently rented
another building.
Now The Sweeney Company comes
into possession of the largest building
between New York and Chicago used
for retail merchandising; and thus on
the same historic site where the doors
of the most progressive store of the
ante-bellum days swung open, early
next month a vast mercantile estab
lishment will begin business
The president of the new store is
Mr. John F. Sweeney,who is also pres
ident of the big department store of
Buffalo known as the H. A. Meldrum
Company. Mr. Sweeney will have
personal charge of the business. The
other offlcers of the company are: Wil
liam Hamlin, vice-president; H. A.
Meldrum, treasurer and Donald Mac
kay, secretary.
The Sweeney Company's store will
be a new kind of a store, selling relia
ble quality merchandise cheap for caah.
With practically unlimited capital, the
store is founded on a cash basis. The
results of this principle are manifold—
those who pay cash are not charged
extra prices to make up the losses of
charged accounts Every article of
merchandise in the new store is of
thoroughly reliable quality There are
no inferior goods, no fabrics of un
worthy quality, for the Sweeney Com
pany is founded on the solid rock of
good merchandise cheap for cash.
One of the rules of the new store is
to have every customer a satisfied cus
tomer. The Sweeney Company will not
count a sale as closed until the pur
chaser gets the goods home and is per
feetly satisfied with them. The new
store says: "If you are not pleased,
if for any reason the goods are not
just as we presented them, bring
them back, or send them to us and we
will give you back your money cheer
fully and willingly."
The exact date of the opening of
The Sweeney store will be announced
in this paper in a week or two and
everybody contemplating a trip to
Buffalo will do well to watch for the
date of opening, for the most extra
ordinary bargains that have ever been
offered are promised for the opening
week; and in fact the wise shopper
will always be able to save money at
The Sweeney Store for it will be the
home of bargains.
While the front portion of tho mam
moth store will be a bargain mart, the
remainder of the great structure will
be turned over to a host of workmen,
for improvements that will entail an
expenditure of more than $200,000 are
to be carried out on the building. New
elevators, new electric lighting ar
rangements, new fixtues, and the rais
ing of th(; skylight from the first floor
to the roof, thus affording vast floor
space which will stretch, unbroken
from Main to Pearl streets, a distance
of nearly 230 feet—all these and many
other improvements are to be carried
out while the wheels of industry are
in motion. The department managers
of the new store have been selected
from every quarter of the country.
Each man is ripe in experience and
has been eminently successful in his
particular department. These buyers
have searched tho markets of the
world. They have gone to the mills
and factories and have gathered to
gether a magnificent assortment of re
liable quality merchandise that will be
sold at the lowest prices ever quoted.
The visitors to Buffalo, or the per
sons who wish to shop by mail, will
find where the Barnes & Hengerer
store used to be a new, live, up-to-date
department store radiant with new
merchandise—a great bargain center
where they can fill all their wants at a
substantial saving, for soon The
Sweeney Company will be a house
hold name throughout the land, a
synonym for honest dealing and full
money's worth.

Mobbed the Grave.
A startling incident, is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows:
"I was in an awful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite, growing weaker day
'by day. Three physicians had given
me up. Then I was advised to use
Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the
first bottle made adeccidcd improvement.
I continued their use tor three weeks,
and am now a well man. I know they
robbed the grave of another victim."
No one should fail to try them. Only
50 cents, guarantee, at L. Taggart's drug

A Wonderful Saving.
The largest Methodist Church in
Georgia, calculated to use over one
hundred gallons of the usual kind of
mixed paint in paiuting their church.
They used only 32 gallons of the Long
man & J/artinez IVint with 24 gallons
of linseed oil. Actual cost of paint made
was less than $1.20 per gallon.
Saved over eighty ($80.00) dollars in
paint, and got a big donation besides.
EVERY CHURCH will be given a
liberal quantity whenever they paint.
Many houses are well painted with
four gallons of L. & M., and three gal
lons of linseed oil mixed therewith.
Wears and covers like gold.

A disordered stomach may cause no
end ot trouble. When the stomach fails
to peiform its functions the bowels be
come deranged, the liver and kidneys con
gested, causing numerours diseases, the

j important thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to a healthy condition, and for
this purpose no better preparation can be
used than Chamberlain's Stomach and
