Instead of wedging It in between other build ings, making It dark, aud obscuring the goods, it is built 011 the corner of three streets, and any one may count in it 51 windows. 3. We employ skilled Workmen, One Hundred and Fifty ot whom may be seen under our roof by any one having the time and curiosity to visit our Establishment, and besides these, 1400 to 1800 sew-. ers are employed at their own homes. 4. We make no imperfect goods. 6. We thoroughly sponge and shrink ALL our goods. 6. We purchase onr goods at first hands, In large lots sometimes In bills of over Sliw.ouo at one time. We set our faces against every species of unfair dealing, and will dismiss any employee in any way guilty of it. 8. We have such enormous sales that we are con tent with a prollt far below the trade margin. 9. We warrant all our goods, and will give every possible guarantee to purchasers at OAK HALL. The above are facts that ne one can truthfully dispute, as tho examination we sq cordially In vite, will fully prove. We ask the encouragement and support of all classes of pooplc, feeling sure that In establishing IN PHILADELPHIA Th Largest Clothing Eouso.
