Club of Altoona, died at the residence of
Mr. Fettinger, in that city, on Friday last .

Mr. George Sehettig, of this place, who !
tor -ome time Past has been employe! at his :
trade of carpenter in Altoona, intends to re
move his family to the latter city early next 1
week. Mr. Sehettig is an honest, industrious
and upright citizen, and while we regret the '
departure of himself and family from our i

in no desirable an acquisition to its rapidly ,
increasing population.

A charter of incorporation for a street

j The bare mention of the fact that Mr.
I John Baer, of Altoona, who was re-elected to
the position of water superintendent the
other day by much more than a bare majority
in fact unanimously has declined to ac-
ct pt an increase of salary, averring that he
I is satisfied with his present stipend and that
the city needs every dollar to pay its water
debt, will bear out the assertion that he has
what is only too rare among men in official
positions a conscience that cannot bear to
be stretched beyond its norma! condition.
Gen. T. L. Kane, of M'Kean county, the
somewhat celebrated commander of the fa
mous Bucktail regiment during tho late un
pleasautness, rpent two or three hours in our
midst on Friday last, the object of his visit
being to induce mine host Heist, of the
Mountain House, to go to Kane and run the
Thomson House, a well known and favorite
summer resort. How well he succeeded we
are not prepared to say, but incline to tho
opinion that Mr. Heist won't emigrate to the
a j .ke in tbe news- , happy or unhappy land of Kane-an at least
not this season.

An "ancient soloreJ individual" named
James Kelly, well known in Ilollldaysburc,
where he lived for many years, died at the
Plair county almshouse, on Saturday last,
agp.l little if any less than one hundred years.
Deceased was a slave for more than half his !
lifetime, and always maintained that the man
w ho was "first in war, first in peace, and first
in the hearts of his countrymen," yclept the
Immortal George Washington, was also the
first man to own him, the deceased aforesaid.
If all signs don't fall, George Washington
will be married to Mrs. Catharine nill at the
Catholie parsonage this (Thursday) after,
noon, by P.ev. Father Boyle. This ain't the
same George Washington he of hatchet
fame whom we read about, hut a gentle"
man of color and a tonsorial artist who hopes
to gain a livelihood in our midst as the suc
cessor of Mr. Abram Blain. Hope ha wilj
be able to climb life's aclivity with much
less difficulty than his famous namesake en
countered while crossing the river Delaware.
About fifty quail or Virginia partridges
were received in Altoona, direct from Mis
souri, on Sunday night last, and on the fol
lowing day they were turned loose in the
vicinity ofjthe city, to increase and multiply
at their will, which they will do very rapidly I
if left unmolested for a few years, as it to be
hoped will bo the caso. Twenty-five others
died on the trip and several more were in a
rather demoralized condition when they
reached their destination. "Quail on toast"
w ii! ere long, no doubt, be one of the luxuries
of that progressive city.
Mr. Camp, the gentleman who con
ducted the Thomson House at Kane, McKean
county, during th past summer, was in this
place on Tuesday last and succeeded in leas
ing Belmont Cottage from F. A. Shoemaker,
Esq., but for how long a term or upon what
conditions we didn't have the audacity to in
quire. We certainly wish the new proprie
tor a successful Camp aign during the com
ing heated term, but have no idea that he
can Heist that really delightful summer re
f ort into public favor more rapidly or deserv
edly than the g-nta-man who preceded him.
An unfortunate tramp, rather well
dressed and respectable-looking, who gave
Ids name as Joseph Johnston, his age as 21
years, and his residence as Philadelphia, had
one of his feet so shockingly crushed in Mill
ville borough, on Monday night last, by be
ing run over by a number of trucks belong
ing to the C. 1. Co., that amputation had to
be performed by Dr. W. B. Lowman soon
after the accident. The unfortunate man,
being without money, was brought to this
place on Tuesday right and taken direct to
tiie county almshouse for care and treatment.
On Monday afternoon, the homestead or
piece or parcel of land of which Michael
Murray, late of Carroll township, died seized,
situate in -aid township and containing HIO
acres and S7 perches, was sold at public sale
by James C. Murray, surviving executor,
to Mr. Michael Noon, for the sum of $1,R00.
About 100 acres are cleared, with a dwelling
house, bark bam and the needful outbuild
ings thereon. Mr. Noon is said to have se
emed a bargain in this transaction, for the
two-fold reason that the figures nre not only
low, but tlvat his purchase adjoins another
farm owned and occupied by himself.
Ream and McDevitt, two prisoners in the
county jail, got into a contraversy over a
game of euchre one day last wek, with the
usual result of an appeal to blows. Jake j
Hawker, another prisoner, interfered to pre
serve the peace, but his counsels not prevail
ing, he had recourse to fistic persuasion.
This persuasion consisted in knocking Ream
down ami requesting McDevitt to precipi
tately retire from the scene. Both parties
thought it n.ot advisable to renew hostilities.
For his well-directed efforts in this affair, the
Imprisonment of Hawker will hereafter be
greatlv ameliorated, the performance of sun
dry little cho-e.s about the jail having been
eopfehxl f his charge.
Tba samples of Cuzco corn of which
met tion is ma le in tho letter of Mr. John A.
Kooken, published in another column, reach
ed r,s on Thursday lat, and ere the rlo? of
the week were for the most part distributed
to various parties who promised to plant anil
care for tbe seeds and in due time report re
sults. The corn in question is the .largest
ever seen in this region, most of the grain
being equal in size to the well known Lima
bean, but as to its value fir meal or feeding
purposes we arc, of course, not prepared to
say, thoi'..;h we doubt whether U will com
pare with tbe smaller grained corn grown in
this country, the grains being wonderfully
light for the sizr of them.
Tbe entire Board of County Commis
sioners, consisting of Messrs. John Camp
bell, S. W. Davis and George Guiiey, ac
companied by their Clerk, E. R. Dnnnegan,
Esq., departed for Warren, Pa., ou Wed
nesday evening last, for the purpose of ex
amining the Court House at that place,
which is said to be a mode! in size, beauty
and adaptability, and, if we mistake not, :
cost the comparatively small sum of "jO.OOu.
It was built under the architectural super-
vi .ioti of Mr. M. E. Beebe, of Buffalo, X. V., '
who is seeking a like position in connection
with the the new Court House soon to be ;
built in this place, and should it meet with
the approval of the powers that be it is safe
to say that it will be a feather in that gen- ;
tleman's cap.
A calico ball was given at the residence
of R. L. Johnston, Esq., in this place, on :
Wednesday night last, and was indulged In
by about a dozen couple. Many shades and
patb'rns of calico were represented in the
ladies' dresses and the gentlemen's coats and
neckties, and the scene is said to have been
as picturesque a?the enjoyment was com
plete and ur.marred. The muic was fur
. r.ished by Messrs. Charles Laterner, George
MeKmzieand J. S Bolsinger, and was in
; keeping with all the other preparations made
for the entertainment of the fortunate few
i who had the pleasure, of participating. The
; dancing was kept up until one o'clock Thurs
: day morning, when the gay assemblage broke
: up, greatly delighted with the festivities of
i tiie occasion.
Whiie four men named Michael M'Graw,
Michael Fiizharris, Jerry Keenan, Robert
; Rumpting, and one other whose name is not
given, were being let down the Incline plane
1 on their way to werk in the Frankstown ore
i mine, in Blair county, on Saturday morning
! last, the rope suddenly broke when a little
, oyer half the distance liad been accomplished,
and the result was that the car or duuip in
, which the men were seated dashed to the
bottom with lightning velocity. Meantime
( ail the men except Mr. M'Graw, whose age
i was about sixty years, fortunately succeeded
! In getting oil the car, but he was carried to
; the end of the slope and dashed against the
i rocks with a terrible force, fracturing his
: skull and Inflicting other injuries which
, caused his death about 1 o'clock the same
afternoon.
Tho terrific wind storm which pase,i
over tbis place on Sunday afternoon reached
Huntingdon about five o'clock the same ev
I enipg, where it not only prostrated several
outbuildings, kitchens, fences, etc., and did
considerable damage to a number of roofs in
the town, but pattially demolished the car
works at that point, causing a loss in this
one instance alone of fully five hundred dol
; lars. At Tyrone the storm was even more
destructive, though probably less promiscu
ous in its effects, the principal damage being
done to the gas works whicn were almost
entirely destroyed, and the superintendent
of Lie works, Mr. James Storm, who couldn't
withstand the other storm, narrowly escaped
with his life. A large poultry coop, 100 by
M feet, recently erected by Mr D. II. Hew
itt at Williamsburg. Blair county, was also
totally obliterated, and all but two frames of
one of tbe laigest barns in Woodbury town-
hip, that county, were raned V the frrrmri'l
by the ain storm.
Brother Williams, of the Carrol Itown
Xevt, did Ebensburg the honor, etc., on
Tuesday Inst, and while here dropped in and
greeted ns with his old-time cordiality. The
.Vc, bv the way, will this week enter upon
its second volume, and though we have been
and may even yet be reckoned among those
who are said to have done all they could to
prevent the success of his enterprise, we can
say in all sincerity that we hope Mr. Wil
liams and his paper will live long and thrive
abundantly. Industry and energy are de
serviugof the fullest measure of success, and
these good qualities Mr. Williams possesses
in an eminent degree, whatever may be
thought or said by oursclf or any one else
about his judgment in matters political, or
his taste in saying orjpernjitting others to say
harsh things through his columns which he
knows, so far at least as we are concerned,
are totally undeserved.
Altoona Gity Council had a little 8 to 7,
or "game of fifteen," experience on Monday
last in tbe election of its own presiding offl
cer, as well as in the selection of City Solici-
i tor. At least we judce so trom the fact tnat
i Messrs. Frank Molloy and Fred. Ball, for
President of Council, received eight and
! sevan votes respectively, and tbat the same
j result was reached in the case of our young
! legal friends James G. Flanagan and S M.
1 Brophy, Esqs., both of whom were aspirants
i for tbe lat mentioned position. We eon
: gratulate Frank and Jeems on their re-e!ec-j
tion for a second term, and alsoconcratulate
I the city dads and citizens generally on Iiav-
jug secured such efficient and trustworthy
officia s as the two eentlemen named are well
; known to be. In like spirit we extend our
congratulations to all parties interested or in
any way affected by the unanimous re-elec-
tion of such faithful and energetic men as
I John A. Baer for Water Superintendent,
i John Roekett for Street Commissioner, and
; John MeXevin, Jr., tor Secretary of Council.
The Democratic Committee of Blair
j county met at Altoona on Saturday last,
; everv district in the county bing repfesent
; d, and elected lion. John Reilly as Senatori
i al ami Messrs. A. J. Anderson and J. Lloyd
' Lowther as representative delegates to the
' State Convention. These gentlemen are
; all prominent and well-known Temocrats,
i and their selection is highly creditable to tbe
j Committee and to the Democracy of the
' county. A resolution ws adopted instruct
i Ins them to vote for Edward Ilerrick, of
i Bradford county, for AnditorGeneral, while
i on the quest ion"of the Presidency no instruc-
tions were triven them, though it is under
! stood they are opposed to the nomination of
Mr. Tilden. They were, however, and we
: regret to say if, instructed in favor of im
I posing the unit rule on the delegates from
this state to the Cincinnati Convention, from
' the propriety of which we nicest respectfully,
. but emphat ically, dissent, believing as we do
that minorities have some rights which ma
jorities are bound to respect.
The Philadelphia Times of Sunday says
: that the Bituminous Coal Exchange sent
j fortv special policeman, recruited in that city
by Captain Thomas E. Clarke, to the Clear
field coal regions yesterday. For six weeks
three thousand miners of th?t vicinity have
been on a strike, and tbe Exchange, forming
, a union of the Clearfield mining companies
and individual operators, has determined
upon filling the strikers' places with men
I willing to work at the present basis. To
' protect tbe new hands a large number of
; special officers have been sworn in, of which
: the men who left yesterday are the advance
' guard. No trouble is anticipated, but the
i Exchange has thus provided for any enier
' gency. The Clearfield operators claim that
1 tbe present rate of wages is ample, and is a
percentage higher than tbat paid in other lo
' entities. A small number of men are at
work, and it is said that more would adopt
: a like course were it not for labor organiza
tions, which take a decided steptowards pre-
venting an abatement of tbe advance de
' manded.
Mr. B. M. Johnston, a prominent and
progressive citizen of Hollidaysburg, died at
the St. Cloud Hotel. Philadelphia, whither he
i hail gone several months ago for medical
treatment, about 10 o'clock on Saturday
night last, aged .Vi vears and 7 months. Mr.
Johnston was prominently connected with
the busir.rss interests of Hollidaysburg and
other localities, being treasurer ano a large
stockholder in the Hollidaysburg Iron and
Nail Company, which has a rolling mill and
nail factory in that place and a rolling mill
at Duncatisville. He was also a director of
the First National Bank of Hollidaysburg, i
ate.l senior member of the firm of B. M. !
Johnston it Co.. who own a flouring mill ami
five stores, two of which are located in this ,
county one at Tunnelhiil and the other in )
Johnstown. Deceased was an honored cti-
zen, nn upright nnn, a devoted husband, I
kind father, a generous, faithful friend, and '
a consistent member of tbe Presbyterian
Church. IP leaves a wife, who is a daugh
ter (if Mr. Jesse K. Crawford, find four chil
dren, one of v, b.om, a sun by bis first wife, is
at present a metallurgical student in Ger
many, to mourn the greatest loss they have
ever been called upon to bear. Peace to his
ashes.

A REMlNlsOr.NCF. OF THE Lono Ago. The
fnsf sleigh-bells that ever made their an
1 pearanee in Lore t to on a Sunday, and it may
: tic on any other day of tbe week, was in the
I winter of 1S2J-3, when our now venerable
townsman, Mr. John Dougherty, with bis
, horse making musi" ail the way, drove into
the ancient village aforesaid for the purpose
of attending divine service. Like "the rab
bits and hares" spoken of in the celebrated
song of "Widow Maeliree," sleigh bells in
' tho? days went together in pairs, and Mr.
i Dougnertv, who was then a voung man and
was about to take unto himself a wife in Hie
le
icrson of his still living though long afflicted
ornate, was not onlv the proud possessor
of a horse and sleigh, but also owned one of
'. only three pairs of sltjigh-bells known to be

Mr." Dougherty, as we have already said,
i made his appearance in Loretto, with his
horse thus tiigged out, on a certain Sunday
. morning, and that he created somewhat of a
: sensation is evident from the fact that at
least one member of the congregation, a
rather eccentric gentleman then living in Al
! legheny township, but since deceased, was
greatly" horrified at the id -a of a man attend
ing church with sleigh-bells on his horse so
much so, indeed, that after Mass he followed
Mr. Dougherty for several mile, in a two
horse sleigh of pled, for the avowed purpose.
it is said, of either rapturine tbe bells or
. reconstructing their owner on a less saerile
: gious basis. Mr. Dougherty's horse was,
i however, too fleet of foot for the pursuing
steeds, nnd after following him from Loretto
: to Minister, by which route Mr. Dougherty
returned home, the irate gentleman eave up
the chase and took the back track for Alle
gheny township.

REMATtKAl-.I.F. PF.TF.I.OPMF.STS OF A ToPT- j
mortem Examination. Dr. Buck on Sat-
unlay conducted a post-mortem examination j
of the iate Joseph Xixdorf for the purpose of j
ascertaining something definite in regard to j
the peculiarities of the disease that caused
his death. The examination revealed a bony j
dejeneration of the valves of the heart. The
valves vrht-n in a healthy condition are com-
pused of a soft tissue, and in this case they j
had hardened into a bony substance. This!
condition was primarily caused by rheunia- j
tism, which produced diseases secondarily of i
the ltid'.H-ys and bladdei. The heart valves, 1
it is thought, commenced to harden ten vears '
am. The prostrate giand was so much en- j
largp'l tl'.at tr.e passage irom tne ma'iucr was
en lire! v closed except to artificial means.
The most intense suffering was caused to the
patient. Disease of the heart so disabled
Mr. Nixdorf that he was frequently carried
home from his work. His c.ise wss consid
ered one of the niofct remarkable on record.

onehs and townships too often neglect the
publication ot their accounts, lhiaw re
quires that it sthonld be done, and affixes
penalties for neelect of such dtitv. Ca?es
nave come before the courts in several coun-
ties of the State, and the auditors have been
fined Last ear we cave the substunco of
the several laws on the subject, as follows :
First. The auditorsare required in each borouirh
and township to settle tho accounts thereof, and to
rublish the same not only in iiewspa-rs, hut also
y written or rrinted statements put up in the
most public places in the borouiths and townships,
as iioa alter the close of the ti.'cal year, which is
on the first Mondty in April, as pos-ibie. 1
Second. If th borough or township is in debt
has a funded or floa'in-r debt, it miisl be included I
in the utatement. toirether with tbe valuation of
property and published in at leasttwo newspapers, '
and embraced in the written or printed statement i
also.
From the above it will he. noticed that the
law is very clear on the subject, and as soon
ns the auditors have settled their accounts
thev are in dtitv hound to publish them as
the law directs. When the borough or town
lie Dorougtl or town-
, neglect to publish
t if the borough or
t it I lie oorotin or
icglect incurs a fine

incurs a fine of f 20 : but

of 51,000.

LETTER FKOW flLIFORSU.
firiLrsA, U.a., March ta. 10.
T1B McPrai HsvlDg read an article to the
FaaKHAw ol March th headed "Wonderful Sto
ries." told by "Cncle" Jfctve TVexler, among
which was one about some tall corn and larre ears,
brought to my mind tho fact that I bave some
hnge corn ta my possession which. I think, lava
cut "Pn 1 rave's corn so eHectiially that I a'm
tempted to send you a few small Krainsas samples
It Is called Cuaeo corn, and Is a native ot tbe ler
tile valleys ol tbe Andes, four hundred miles back
of Lima. In Pern. It take Its. name trom a pro
vince In South America called Cosco. In wbloh It
was first and ts still extensively cultivated. Tbe
grains I sends you eame direct from there.
Cuaeo la situated about four hundred and fifty
mile from the sea. and has an elevation ol over
11.000 feet. This corn, as well as the other pro
ducts of tbat h$ latitude, are brought down to
tbe coast on pack mules. The corn tn question Is
said to produce from 10 to 300 bushels to the acre,
and being tbe product ol a oold climate, I think it
would do well tn tome of the rich and frrtilt valUyt
of the Allegheny mountains. If you have no
rancbe of your own on which to plant it. give It to
aome thrifty farmer who will take rood care of It,
and pay the proper attention to Its cultivation
and in due time lot ns know the result through
i kiir ti'iuuili, wi me r KIISAH.
, W e have had a verv cold winter here the coldest
; expenonoed since "Uncle Sam" took possession of
these "happy a-old bunting grounds and as a
: consequence tlie truit tres and vegetables are as :
i much as a month Lchlcd tbe usual time, the al- !
' moads, spricots and p-aches bing o badlv frost
I bitten that it is tu tl.ore wiii cot be ruoie than '
, one-fourth ol a ernr-. The trra is kept verv short 1
i by tho trost. though it should be at Its best'at this
; time ot tl.e year, and as a consequence we bave to
pay pretty high just now for butter S) cts. per 1
i pound.
! It has also been an extremely dry winter. There '
i were very heavy rains in November nnd Ite"ember,
but since tbe tfrst ol January there have only been
a'x rainy days and Inun teu to twelve cloudv ones,
: while from present indications ft ts not like'.v we :
i will havo much more this Spring none, lu "fact
' until next November. "
I had a genuine Winter experience last January
i in the Sierra Nevada mountain, which reminded
1 me very much of some of the weather wu bad on 1
the summit of the A liegbeuies during the first 1
. winter the "Crusader" was published, and winch
I nodoubt you well rememtur. The more recent ex- I
t perience to which 1 refer came aoout fhuslvr 1 '
j took a trip up to Nevada City, in Nevaoa coii'itv.
- Call fornia. which in some two hundred mile? nort ii
i east ol Petaluma, and is located on the Sierra Ne-
vnoa mouuiams. al an altitude ol aoout Z.'yi leet.
While I was there on the bight of the th ufj.inn- :
ary there occurred one of the heaviest and most :
severe snow-sfonns ever experienced In that re- !
gion. it also snowed and blowed without inter- "
' mission during the two sueeeedinz days, and 1 was
j otdfeed to tramp through it all trom'"early mora '
' till dewy eve," in the effort to find some mines ,
j and mills, and which I finally did. thoutrh it re- .
quired a great deal of exertion to msko one step
forward liiftea-l of two backward. Moantime I
managed with the aid of a pistole (quart flask).
! full of spiritual comfort, earned by mv jrutde. to '
! keep up the circulation, as well as "a good deal of .
I perspiration. It was Something quite new to me.
I and I enjoyed it muchly, not having trodden in i
j snow for a number of years before. On tbe alter
j noon of the 11th 1 viewed the eclipse of the sun, !
i which was not, however, quite total here, thouph
ft was the first lime I had ever been so rosr even :
to a partial one. During the entire time I mirht !
, say that I was snowed in completely, as 1 did not '
; icet out ot the mountain farther than Coltax antil ;
j the lith. the snow being so heavy and dc-p that II ;
; crushed nearly a mile of enow-sheds on the Central '
t Pacific Kail hoad at Emigrant (rap. Thcro wi-re ;
tome heavy drifts at Alia and Cico. It is still :
' unusually cold in that locality so much so, indeed,
I that it interferes to a great oxtent with piacor
j mining. r
j This has been an unusually dull winter as re- ;
', Irani s work in tbe meehsnical branches, as well '
j with laborinir mon. and thore appears to be a rreat :
j deal ot disc-ntent, and really some sutt.-riuir, i
1 among the poorer elas'es. stilf I think things will
I brighten up some ere long, as Kearney is likely to !
: be imprisoned tor six months at least. tho Chinese
i are going to New York, and 'Frisco is going to i
j have more pol icemen. So mote It te.
Now. Hen, I have drawn this letter out consider- !

Two Bin Floods that Noah Noah-d
Nothinii ArntT. "(iraybeard.'" of the ML
Union Times, gives the following rt-inini- :
cences of t wodestructive floods which visited ;
the Juniata vailev- seventy and forty-two j
years ago, respectively, the last of which,
although at the time a mere stripling in !
Holiidaysburg, we remenihcr very distinctly:
The greatest flood known since Huntingdon Ktid
MirHin counties were ettled was Ibe "pumpkin !
flood." which o-cure-i about lto. Tbis fiod got ;
lt name from the nuuierou pumpkins that ttoated !
upon ttie waters. It was a remarkably good ye-ir
for vegetation e.j.cci-iiiy f,,r corn and'pumpk'ins.
It was said by those who witnessed the sene at a t
distance that the Jumatla saemed almo-t covered ;
with pumpkins, and the corn crops were nearly all .
destroyed where land was near the river, ntid the ;
water rose so rapidly on tbe hanks of the.luniHta .
thr.t many families' had to be taken out ot tho !
second stories id their houses in bents and canoes.
Tho next greatest flood was m June. ISoS, when
a In rkre pirt :on of t he I'enusvl van ia "aim: was de-
str .yed. Mr. Barrack s family at Ho
iyburg
the de
were swept awav and drowned. Mu'-l
struction of property at that time was caused by
the dams giving way. ?.Ir. Vancleave lived near
the five locks, tn l-:lalr county, bis house standing
near the banks of the river. ' The dam above had
given way and Vancleave did not know it. but a
b atman who taw the uanper. hallooed to hi in to
get bis family out of tl.e houe at once. Their
chil l wrts in the cradle. "ai!i-!e-Jve picked up the
(ra-lloiMid ran. telling th family to t"!low him.
In le-is thin (ti minutes alter the family got out,
the house with all fu It was going down the Juni
a'a. During this flood an entire st this wa seeu
floating down the rise., and a rooster was heard
crowing in it. This fb-od did much dniage to the.
Fennsy lviii ia canal, arid it tost the Stale a large
sum of money to repair it.

have made the want of ladies and children a

ready response, and that a determined woman
could make a handsome salary and have tho ex

Don't part with your money until TOU
know the truth. Interested parties a.e
spreading the report3 that MR. JOHN
WANAMAKER is not interested in the
old and famous OAK HALL, Clothing
business and does not personally direct
its affairs.
Nothing could be more Untrue!
Mr. JOHN WANAMAKER has pre-
cisely the same relations to Oak Hall as
in the past.
WA NAMAKER & BROWN is what
it has been ever since Mr. Brown died, 12
years ago.
Mr. JOHN WANAMAKER per
sonally watches over the faithful prepa
ration of the stock of MEN'S AND
BOYS' CLOTHING, and the conducting
of the store. Nothing is allowed to pass
his eye that is not straightforward and
A
true to the interest of those vho have
patronized the house for 19 years and
depend on its reliability.
From all appearances the year 1880 is to be
the largest in sales ever known.
The READYMADE Department is Better Stocked!
The BOYS' Department is Better Stocked ! !
The CUSTOM Department is Better Stocked 11!
The SKIRT Department is Better Stocked ! ! ! !
All this will be apparent on FIRST SIGHT !
Please call whenever you can and look through
this BEEHIVE of a Building, so busy with its
hundreds of Workpeople and Customers. Do
not forget that Clothing of the W. & B. make
will stand better service than any other that can
be got anJ that it does not cost any mere (if as
much) as other makes.
