Some Valuable Information for Those
Who Wish to Exercise the
Eights of Suffrage
AT THE ELECTION KEXT TD ESDAY
Three Tickets to fce Chosen, Folded Se
curely, and Deposited in Their
Proper Receptacles.
THE QUALIFICATIONS OF A YOTER.
How to Xsespe tie KiripdiUcES of Tricksters Aloat
the Felling Flues.
No State, Concessional and county elec
tion contest combined has ever excited the
interest in Pennsylvania that the present
has, and there is au absorbing desire on the
part of many thousand people for informa
tion that will enable them to escape the
traps of the class of political tricksters and
manipulators who do their work mainly on
election day. This does not consist of vote
buying specially, as that is generally ar
ranged for previously, but is mainly com
posed of tricks that hoodwink people who
have neither the time nor inclination to
study "practical" politics.
A gentleman asks The Dispatch to
state how tickets will be headed in the
present contest, how they should be folded,
how many are to be voted, what is "scratch
ing," what is a "smooth-bore," eto., and the
request is pertinent, as the mixed ticket
will be a prominent teature in Tuesday's
contest, and mixed tickets, like mixed
drinks, are confusing to the intellect of
many voters, even of intelligence other
wise. The general qualifications are as
follows:
WHO AP.E ALLOWED TO VOTE.
A foreigner, to be entitled to a vote, must
have been naturalized on or before October
4. The applicant must have resided in the
State for one yaar. or if previously a quali
fied voter, he had removed from the State,
he must have resided in the State six
months immediately preceding the election.
He mut be 21 years old, or within one day
of it. If 21 the day after the election he is
of votinp age. If 22 years of age or more
he must have paid within two vears a State
or county tax, which must have been
assessed at least two month1; and paid at
least one month before the election. If Vis
name be on the list of voters and be he chal
lenged, he must prove all his qualifications
to the satisfaction of the election officers,
and his witness must make and subscribe to
an affidavit according to a form iurnished.
If the voter's name be not on the list he
aust prove the above qualifications, whether
challenged or not. A naturalized citizen
must produce his certificate of naturaliza
tion, unless he has been lor five years
consecutively a voter in the district
in which he offers to vote. A genu
ine certificate of naturalization
is conclusive evidence of the facts contained
therein. Payment of tax may be proven by
the production of a receipt, or by oath of the
person offering to vote, or other evidence
stating when and to whom such tax was
paid. It is a misdemeanor for an election
officer to refuse or neglect to take the proofs
above mentioned, and punishable by 'fine or
imprisonment.
HOT SUFFRAGE GOES ASTRAT.
A voter removing from one district to an
other within two mouths immediately pre
ceding the election, loses his right to vote in
either. Any one who gives or offers to give
money or other valuable consideration to
another to induce him to vote or abstain
f-om voting, loses his own right to vote.
Election officers must, according to law, re
ject the votes of all persons who have made
a bet or are interested in3 bet on the result
of the election.
Xow as to "smooth-bore" tickets. They
are mixed tickets which enable a man to
vote for a part, and, at the same time, reject
some of the candidates of his own party.
They pretty generally contain the names of
his party candidates, but also some of the
other side, or, for that matter, of any other
party. Democratic. .Republican, Inde
pendent or Prohibition, as the case
may be. Independents Use them largely,
but a voter, to nuke Mire he is rigut, should
careiuilr inform himself on the issue and
the name or names of the candidates that
represent that iJue. He may be loyal tohis
oarty and still except to some of his can
didates bat unscrupulous men may use
smooth-bores perniciously.
A Vcratchcr" is a man who exercises his
own judgiueut and obliterates the name of
any candidate who may not suit him, and he
can substitute nnther, if he choose. Tne
err, "Vote as you shot," formerly quite
effective, has but little force this year, and
many veterans of the Civil "War will, in
stead, at this election scratch as they
scratched 2" years ago in the effort to set
rid of parasites. Scratching, in political
parlance, is the culling of objectionable
candidates.
THREE BALLOTS TO BE CAST.
Tic'cti to be oted this ear arc headed
"State," "Congressional" and "County."
They may and doubtless will be printed in
various kinds of type, however, and the
voter nnibt exercise his own gumption in
distiutruishing them. If he feels unequal to
the task, the next best thing is to get some
friend who can be trusted, to make his ticket
for bim iust as he wants it, and in this case
it is well it he wish to be saved the pester
ing ol officious "heelers," to have it made
beiore he oes to the polls, and vote what is
popularly called the "vest pocket" ticket
If he wait until he goes to the polls before
making his ticket, his best plan, if he be
conscientious, but disposed to be peaceable,
will be to go to the man in charge of the box
of tickets that he wants, and depend on his
sel ectmn. Those accommodating gentlemen
;irund the polling booths who are always
willing to "fix" a man's vote for him are not
always trubtworthv.
As to fo Iding, the voter may exercise his
own pleasure as to style, provided he be
particular to foid his ticket so that onlv the
head, whatever that may be, State, "Con
gressional or county, be exposed.
TWO CHANCES FOR ONE OFFICE.
Voters may vote for two candidates for
County Commissioner, but for that office
only, as in other cases the election officers
reject both tickets.
If a man be able to read English, and is
enlightened as to the merits of the contro
versy and the candidates. hi nno-ht tn u
able to make his own ticket, but lor reasons
assigned above, and in some instances for
another that will readily suggest itself it is
well for some people to have their tickets
prepared in advance. Much depends upon
their environment and constitutional com
position. Cbatoit Portraits very cheap.

Communicated. J
To the Kepnblican Voters.
During the present campaign a number
of communications purporting to be ad
dressed to us, have appeared in the news
papers, although the originals have never
reached us. These communications have
emanated from various quarters, and last
of all came Magnus Pflauni. As these com
munications have never really been sent to
us, but have been simply published, we
presume that they were, intended lor yon,
and to you we address our communication.
The campaign which is now closing has
been conducted by our opponents with un
usual bitterness. They have contented
themselves with simply attempting to
blacken the private chiracter of the Kepnb
lican candidate for Governor. There was
nothing unusual or surprising in this, for
such has been the favorite policy of the
Democratic party and its allies in all previ
ous campaigns.
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Blaine, Sher
man and Hartranft were each in turn ma
ligned and abused without measure, and
the slanders against them were by the peo
ple refuted at the polls. In the present
campaign the Democratic committee ot this
county have apparently put forth but little
effort," but they have in fact fought the
battle under cover of a so-called Inde
pendent Kepnblican organization.
An address has been issued signed by the
Executive Committee of that organization.
The names of some ol the gentlemen signed
to that address have not for a long time
been connected with any measure looking
to the interests of the Republican party or
promoting the principles which that party
maintains; some of them were declared
opponents of Mr. Blaine in 18S4;
some of them were well-known ad
mirers, and have been active supporters of
Grover Cleveland for the Presidency. One
of them, Mr. Peter Shields, has been a well
known and consistent Democrat until the
present campaign; still another of the gen
tlemen is well known as a free trade Repub
lican, if there can be sucn a thing as a free
trade Republican. How such a body can
claim to represent the Republican party,
straight or independent, regular or irregular,
it is difficult to understand. They ask us to
defeat the party for the good of the party;
they say that this is not a party contest, and
that no party issues are involved. You are
asked to elect Robert E. Pattison Governor
ot Pennsylvania in order to promote Repub
lican principles. Before doing this, we ask
you to consider these facts. Robert E. Pat
tisou was nominated as a candidate for
Governor by the Democratic Convention of
the State of Pennsylvania. That same con
vention made a formal declaration of prin
ciples, which contain the following clear and
explicit statement of the position upon the
most vital economic question of the day:
"The Democracyot Pennsylvania, by their
representatives in State Convention assem
bled, declare: That tariff reform is neces
sary, in order that both producers and con
sumers may be relieved from the burdens ot
unnecessary taxation. We arraign the Re
publican party for its passage through the
House of Representatives ot a tariff bill
which increases the taxes on necessaries, re
duces those only laid upon luxuries, and is
calculated to promote and foster trusts."
That tariff bill was what is now known as
the JIcKinley bill; that Democratic Con
vention made it the issue of the campaign.
Robert E. Pattison, in accepting the nom
ination for Governor, approved that plat
iorm, and became the champion of the prin
ciples therein declared. It he desires to
retract his indorsement of those principles,
it is his duty as an honest man to withdraw
from the Democratic ticket. If Mr. Pat
tison does approve of those principles then
he is guilty of a false pretense upon
the people of Pennsylvania, when he says
that those principles are not involved in
this contest But Mr. Pattison is a Demo
crat, and when Governor of Pennsylvania
lie did everything in his power tofurther
the interests of that party. He is not much
of a civil service reformer, for he removed
from office without cause one of the best
court interpreters that Allegheny county
ever had, and appointed in his place a Dem
ocrat from the Seventh ward, Allegheny,
who, because ot legal difficulties, had to run
away from the city before he could take the
oath ot office. Mr. .Pattison subsequently
found another Democrat 'or the office.
When Coroner Peter Dressier died a peti
tion was prepared by his many German
lriends, asking lor the appointment of
Deputy Coroner Hennesy to the vacant
Coronership, Mr. Hennesy agreeiug to pay
the salary to the widow of Mr. Dressier.
This-petition was signed by the Judges ol
the Court, all the officials of Alleghenv
county and 10,000 citizens. The petition
was presenteit to Governor Pattison, but
Mr. Hennesy was a Republicau. Governor
Pattison disregarded the petition, the ex
perience and fitness of the applicant and
appointed Robert Patterson, a life-long
Democrat. This is not an important mat
ter, but it shows that Mr. Pattison is true
to sound Jacksonian Democratic principles.
Republicans, the triumph of the princi
ples of the party is paramount to any minor
consideration. The election of Robert E.
Pattison would be hailed with delight by
every Democrat and free trader in 2Jew
York or elsewhere in this broad land. Can
you afford, because of any temporary dis
satisfaction or because you ueliee you could
manage the affairs of the party better than
they have been managed, to join with the
common enemy in bringing defeat and dis
organization upon the party in Pennsylva
nia? We can afford, as individuals, to see
our favorite candidates defeated for nom
ination; we cannot nominate all who are
candidates; we cannot even nominate all
good and great men who are candidates, but
we cannot afford to trail the Republican
banner in the dust Choose for yourselves,
hut choose on principle. Is Republican
Allegheny county ready to play the jackal
to the Democratic lion? The Re
publican majority in Congress, after
many Jiard-fonght battles" has suc
ceeded in enacting legislation highly
beneficial to every interest of this Common
wealth. Upon the issues growing out of this
legislation the Republican and Democratic
parties have gone to trial before the country;
the Democratic State Convention recoguized
that fact, although their candidate seeks to
evade the question. "Was Congress right or
wrong? To this question, Allegheny county
cannot afford to give a doubtful answer.
The answer that would have most weight
with the nation at large will be your vote
for Governor. Look well to yoiir tirkets.
State, Congressional, Senatorial, Legisla
tive andcounty,see toit that the names there
are those ot Republican candidates in your
respective districts,and be careful not to'vote
for candidates running in some other dis
trict The county has been flooded with tickets
with the evident purpose of deceiving the
Republican voters. Many of these packages
of tickets have been found to contain the
straight Democratic State ticket, an irregu
lar Democratic State ticket, aud a county
ticket, upon which some of the candidates
for the Legislature are Democrats, and the
names ot the candidates for Senator are not
those running in the district where the
voters live. Compare your tickets with the
Republican posters. Let Allegheny county
remain Republican clear through.

An East End Man's Experience With a Fash
ionable Sewing Society.
RAILROAD OFFICIALS IN TOE WEST
Two commercial travelers got into a dis
cussion yesterday, at the Anderson, about
the respective merits of certain gloves they
were selling. Their conversation grew more
vehement and louder as tne minutes sped
by, and finally one -of them, in a fit of
pique, slapped the other's face.
There was a pitched battle ior a moment,
and the compliment was gracefully re
turned. Another drummer standing nearby,
with a disposition to play practical jokes ly
ing under his belt, enjoyed the scene
very much. Ho was a stranger to the
two contestants, and a short time
afterward appeared at the clerk's desk with
a quasi warrant for the arrest of one of the
fighters. The fellow was badly scared at
the prospect of paying a fine, and was
willing to follow the supposed constable to
an Alderman's office. When the "constable"
in the case had walked as tar as he cared to,
he suggested to the culprit that possibly the
house uould bail him, and they would go
back to see.
Clerk Bonneville was "in the points," and
he was willing to stand good for his appear
ance. They even induced the poor fellow
to put up $i0 as a forfeit, and when the joke
was becoming a little wearisome they con
cluded to let him off if he would set up the
Co-cent cigars for the crowd. The drummer
thought the joke was a good one, and, sud
denly relieved from all anxiety, he paid for
the treat, and the fi isco was over.
A HEW THROUGH LUTE.
Why the Vanderbilts Secured Control of the
Beading.
The Vanderbilts want another route from
East to West Surveys are now being made
and are nearly completed for an extension
of the Oil City branch of the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern through the rich
timber and coal belt of Northern Pennsyl
vania to a connection with the Beech Creek
road in Clearfield county. The Beech Creek
will carry the connection to the Reading
system. This explains the recent move in
acquiring control of the Reading. About
85 miles of new road will be re
quired to complete the connection
from Clearfield to Oil City. The
route follows nearly the abandoned Cran
berry coal road out ot Oil City, thence
across Forest and Clarion counties, by way
of Clariontown, through Brookville and Du
Bois, in Jefferson county, to Clearfield.
The Oil City and Franklin branch of the
Lake Shoreconnects with the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie, the Vanderbilt line between this
city and the lakes.
The new route, with New York connec
tion, will shorten the distance between New
York and Chicago over 150 miles and be
tween New York and Pittsburg about 200.
It will also introduce competition between
Philadelphia and Pittsburg and Cleveland.
The move will oflset the recent Baltimore
and Ohio arrangements to get a more direct
line from the East to Chicago. Besides tbe
through advantages, the new portion of the
road will traverse a developing section that
is very rich in local traffic.
HE WEI NEVER WHACK UP.
One Reason Why Some People Don't Like
Kobert E. Pattison.
"Bob Pattison has been a neighbor, and
friend ot mine for years," said a Philadel
phia gentleman yesterday. "If he were
snowed under in(this election he will retain
the respect of everv honest voter in tbe
State. Pattison is not popular with the
boys, because he never whacks up, and the
heelers never have any love for a man unless
they can keep their fingers in his pocket
book. He insists on cverythiug being done
right, and it it is not performed that way he
will not be a party to it
"I remember when he was Governor I
went with a number of men from the Com
monwealth Club to see him about an im
portant matter. As I knew him well, I ap
pealed to him from a Democratic stand
point, but he frankly told us that he
couldn't see it our way and his conscience
would not allow him to act against his con
victions." Another Democrat speaking of Pattison
said he went to him with C. i McKenna to
see about the appropriation ior Mercy Hos
pital. Mr. McKenna, was loaded to the
muzzle with facts and arguments, and the
Governor was unprepared. After hearing
Mr. McKenna fur awhile he arose and
knocked out everyone of his points, one after
another. "We all had to admit that the
Governor was right," added the gentleman,
"and I said then that a man who was as
care ul of the people's interests as he was,
and so ready to deleud them, must be capa
ble as well as honest."

air. Aclieson Figures on a Good Majority for
the Colonel.
Editor E. P. Aclieson, of Washington,
was in the city yesterday on his return from
Fayette county, where he was doing some
work lor Colonel Andy Stewart. Mr.Ache
sou snys that so far ac he knows the Colonel
is not being traded. The Independents have
placed him on all their tickets.
Mr. Acheson thinks Stewart will have a
majority of 1,200 in Washington, 500 in
F..yette and irom 2,000 to 3,000 in Alle
gheny county. Greene county will prob
ably go 1,800 Democratic Mr. Aclieson
said he noticed some "of the papers had
quoted him as saying that Delamater would
carry Washington county with only 500
votes. This is a mistake and he wishes it
to be corrected. He figures that Delnma
ter's majority will be 1,000 in the county,
and the balance of the ticket will have from
1,200 to 1,400 majoritv.

THE PITTSBimG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1890. . g .
An East End Man's Experience With a
Fashionable Sewing Society.
In the East End there is a fashionable
sewing society that- meets once a week at
the members' houses to turn out fancy work.
One of the ladies in the circle has a husband
with so practical a turn of mind that he
fails to see the poetry in a stitch, and he has
always taken the ground, without avail,
that the women could employ their time
more profitably by doing something else.
Recently he heard of a meeting of the
society, to be held at a neighbor's, and he
determined lo be present and administer a
rebuke. When the ladies were busy chat
ting over their work, the gentleman in ques
tion rang the doorbell, and was admitted.
Without saying a word to anybody, he sat
down on the chair offered him and pulled out
a pair of old stockings, which he com
menced to darn. His wife was thunder
struck, and the hot blood commenced to
redden the fair cheeks of thosi present. 'Not
a word was spoken bv anyone for sometime,
and the male offender Kept pegging away,
mending the breach in the sock.
Finally, one indignant little woman or
dered him to leave the house, and then the
storm broke loose. Well, that man is wiser
to-day than he was a week ago, and he now
vows he will never interfere again with the
work of a fancy sewing society. He has
had enongh.
THE PAPER TO READ.
How an Im cntor Fronted by an Item In
the Dispatch.
Mr. R. O. Breles writes The Dispatch
that some time ago be began to look up an
apparatus for regulating fares on street cars.
He made a model, but finding that a similar
device was in vogue, he gave the idea up.
He threw it aside, he says, aud had almost
forgotten it, when the idea was revived by
an item in The Dispatch. This was an
account of an episode that occurred on the
Pittsburg Traction line describing the man
ner in which the registration rope was mis
taken by a passenger for the hell pull, and
for which error he had to pay 25 cents. Mr.
Breles says that he has succeeded in perfect
ing a device which he is about to sell in
Chicago, and adds that "the item in The
Dispatch was the means of bringing the
improvement out."

session of the street cars and monopolize the
suburban trains, how Wright, energetic and
acife they are, not in the least like the his
torical ones that went trudging away un
willingly to school! No, indeed, their faces
and manner bespeak very plainly the pleas
ure taken in they school sessions and
the .interest taken in their studies
Why this changed aspect ot pupil and
school ? Why instead of funereal steps do
the students respond to the ringing of the
bell with alacrity and eagerness? Because
the school and the pedagogue of the past is
no more. The dark, gloomy schoolroom,
the stiff, uncomfortable seats, the dry, unin
teresting lessons and the stern, forbidding
master have all alike taken their departure,
and with them has disappeared the antipathy
which they inspired, while in their places
are .ound "light, airy, cheerful rooms, easy,
comfortable seats and talented, entertaining
instructors, who, by their well-trained, per
fectly disciplined minds, awaken an inter
est and stimulate a desire lor knowledge in
the minds of their pupils rather than coni-pej-tlie
conning of lessons. Such, indeed,
is the drift of the school of to-day, and fnl.
lowing out that principle to the utmost
nicety will be iouad Curry Univer
sity, " to which a very enjoyable
visit was paid during the week. It was
established in the year I860, and by its con
tinual and steady growth has reached re
markable proportions. Indeed, this year
the enrollment has been surprisingly large,
so' large, in fact, that a "nurth story will
very shortly be added to the building. Of
thi various departments visited it would be
difficult to tell which was the most interest
ing; in the room of Prof, J imes M. Wisman
mathematics in their higher form were
being expounded to a bright, intelli
gent class of youths and maidens
who were not at all embarrassed by the ap
pearance of a stranger, but in an easy con
versational tone proceeded to discuss poly
gons, polyhedral angles and talk of polyhe
dron aud parallelopiped prisms as if they
were the most adorable things in the uni
verse instead of the most perplexing. In
the teaching of his special branches, Prof.
Wisman is certainly au adept, and by a
style peculiarly his own, succeeds in im
pressing the facts upon the pupils' minds in
such a manner that to forget would seem to
be impossible.and the strangest part of it all
is that he makes no apparent effort to teach,
but sits at his desk or stands at the board
and simply talks or invites the members of
his classes to talk. And the result of the
exchange of ideas is a clear and definite un
derstanding of the subject in question in
stead ot a few formulas or demonstrations
committed to memory. In the language
room Prof. Francis "Schmid occupies
the chair, having previous to
his connection with this school
been identified with the high school at
Baden, Germany, as instructor in ancient
and modern languages, and also with the
classical academy established by him in this
city in 1867, and with Trinity Hall, Wash
ington, Pa. By this scholarly man, Csesar,
"Virgil, Livy, Tacitus and Horace, Xeno
phon, Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides,
Demosthenes, Plato, and Sophocles are all
rendered intelligible to the youthful student
at Curry University, and the languages of
French and German are also taught. A class
in Greek was knitting its brows and running
its hand through its locks in a truly ener
getic way, when the room was visited, evi
dently intent upon the capturing and retain
ing in memory some of those treacherous,
wily verbs that have proven the root not of
all evil, but of so many ot ourowu English
words. In the conservatory of music could
be heard the sweet voice of a dainty
-miss of about 16, as the door
was passed, trilling with birdlike
sweetness, and occasionally tbe deeper
tone of Prof. Bissell as he gave some needed
example with his own thoroughly trained
and cultivated voice. In the rooms devoted
to the study of elocution and dramatic cul
ture Prol. King was instructing an un
usually bright class in the formation of
tone, using a text book compiled and writ
ten by himself. In numerous other depart
ment were seen large numbers of ambitious
pupils busily engaged in preparing lessons
in history, geography, grammar, composi
tion or literature, as the case might be, etch
intent upon his own particular study, while
recitation classes were receiving the atten
tion of the teachers. Prof. E. M. Wood
was conducting a class in psychotogy, and
by his admirable treatise upon it the already
interesting subject of mind training was
rendered doubly interesting. Prof. Wood
has cnarge oi the course in science, and in
his department, as in every other, the law of
the school seemed to be application to
study, and with snch apparent enjoyment
was it obeyed that it was a pleasure to look
upon the students. In the business college
but lew vacant desks were to be seen, even
this early in the year, and, judging from
the earnestness and interest evinced by
themanywho were poring over their text
books and ledgers, there will be no lack of
competent business men aud women in the
coming years. A special feature of this de
partment is that the method of teaching com
bines the theory and practice. The business
formulas aud theories learned being imme
diately put into everyday use by a skiliul
system ol exchange carried on with other
colleges in other cities, both in the United
States and Canada, whereby merchandise
and produce are bought and sold, both on cash
depooit and on commission, money is made or
lost, and experience gained accordingly. The
short-hand department leads all the others
iu the increased attendance over former
years, and was literally overflowing with
any number of maidens and sturdv youths
who will, in a few month:, swell the army
of stenographers and typewriters that to the
business world is an absolute necessity.
And there they were, puzzling their brains
over the principles of tbe sign language,
aud looking forward to the time when
they would scorn to write anything
less than 150 words a minute,
aud when a munificent salarv
would reward their speed. The Norma"l
department to which the most careful atten
tion is paid was found in a decidedly
flourishing condition, and tbe enthusiasm
shown by the to-be teachers was very con
tagious, "as they with the instructors dis
cussed the best means of imparting to the
youthful minds the desired and necess-try
information. It is an interesting lact to
know that 168 State certificates have been
granted the graduates from this department
within the past five years.
The institution is certainly a great credit
to the city, and especially to fhe manage
ment under President James U. Williams,
who began in September, 1881, witii an en
rollment of less than a dozen students and
reached last year the creditable number of
1,606 students, with fair promise that the
present year's registrations will number
over 1,800 students.

In'Memoriam.
It becomes our sad and painful duty to
publish (he death of one o.'our most esteemed
and worthy young men, Mr. Charles Bar
ehus, who, on Monday night, October 20,
1890, to avoid a collision, jumped from bis
engine and received injuries from which he
lived but an hour and 40 minutes. Though
severely hurt, he was conscious to the last,
and for 30 minutes prayed incessantly. He
then talked of his friends, leaving messages
of condolence for his mother, father and
wife. He said that he felt that all was well
with him, which must be consoling to them
in their great bereavement
Though so young, being but 24 years of
age, he was widely known and greatly be
loved, and his sad and tragic death has cast
a gloom over this entire community, where
he leaves many friends to mourn his un
timly end.
We tender our heartfelt sympathies to his
bereaved mother, father and wile and other
near relatives, hoping they may some day
meet him where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest.

As a matter of fact KEECH has done more to encourage matrimony
by making it possible for young married people to start housekeeping by
providing them with furniture on the installment plan than any number -of
matrimonial bureaus. The fact that KEECH is the leading dealer in
the city, and quite recently has been compelled to greatly enlarge his
establishment in order to accommodate his steadily and rapidly increas
ing trade, is evidence that his goods, his prices and his manner of deal
ing have earned the satisfaction of the people. Many purchasers come
long distances to seek this house, and if you entertain the notion that it
is only cheap, trashy, go-to-pieces-in-no-time sort of furniture that is
offered on credit, a visit to this store will knock that idea out of your
head in a few minutes. Of course, only a portion of the business done by
KEECH is credit business. Furthermore he is prepared to furnish a
house from cellar to roof in almost any style on the briefest notice.
