To the many customers that called at the Store on Saturday, Nov. 19th and 26th, who we could not possibly have waited on, though doing our very best, clerks scattered through the store, all busy as bees, but Eleven were the crowds serged through the room, in a seemingly unending stream, and one lady covered the ground exactly when she said ‘‘there is as much busi- ness done here to the square inch as any of the big city stores,” Three more experienced clerks are added this week and we confidentially hope to wait on U quick any time U come and every day in the week, The store is gradually putting on its Holiday clothes, and such an assort- ment of nice things at moderate prices is not to be found in Centre county, Kom & C.
