We have made it a rule
for several years never to
carry any garments from one
season to another, and at
the new or reduced prices
we have garments that are
within the reach of every
purse, however small.
It is impossible in our lim
ited space to give a descrip
tion of the goods or enum
erate prices
We arc confident that you
will find on examination that
the prices are very accept
able we mean by accept
able prices lower than the
same quality of goods can
be bought for elsewhere
at a saving from one-third
to one-half.
We have a large number
of them to select from and
every one of them fashion

BLOOMSBURG.
The nsw year was ushered in with
considerable noise. At the first stroke
of the town clock for the hour of
twelve tho last breath of the expiring
year the bells, with joyous (Mail,
ranp; in the new, and "Very factory
whi9tle sent forth its shrill Htinounc
rnent as if to frierhtcu away the old,
while in many of tho churches the con
gregation on bended knee gave thanks
that they were permitted to seo the
new.
Bloomsbure has great reason to bid
farewell to 1888 with especi il defer
ence for she is one of thi few towns
npon which the late business denression
has left only faint truce. Thero is no
real want here that would not receive
immediate relief if it were Bade
known.
Companies have shown much good
judgment and real sympathy bv r)tiin
ing the most needy among their em
ployee nnd reinstating as fast as pos
Bible those first whose circumstances
were most imperative heads of fam
ilies, one son from n family, etc. In
that way actnal suffering has been
kept at bay. Ail the Industries, of
which we have a gondlv number, are
working with nearly full force.

Special ttrtnt to jHuttri,
We extend our heartfelt appreciation for the liberal pat
ronage we have received in the past year and the preced
ing ones. Just as Time's march is indicated by periods
historically eventful, business advancement writes its
methods aud its movements indelibly with the epochs
of its progress. The first, time our name was spoken in
Scr&ul a new epoch of retail business was born.
A Higher Standard of Quality, Larger Quantities of the Suit
able, and the Outspread Wing of Price Protection,
With its su Ing, its security, its its infallible satisfaction,
and our ever-popular CREDIT SYSTEM, these are every
where recognized as
Our Epoch of Progress
A PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY NEW
YEAR TO ALL
