" ITIZE N. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1880. Worth Looking At The prices of U & winter clothing AT Seliaul liros. & Co s NEW CLOTHING HOUSE. A low price does not always secure an advantage to tbe buyer; extremely low price means very poor clothing; that's not oar sort. Bat we don't ask yon unreasonable prices, because every garment we sell is warranted to be as cheap as could be duplicated in any other store in this vicinity—in fact some we quote cheaper than other houses do. In suit* we bare about all kinds of fabrics in use—cheviot, worsted and cassimere. $6 to $24 is tbe range of prices. In double-breasted jack suits we have six different styles:—Silk-fsced Overcoats, Meltons. Beavera and Kerseys, $5 tp $22. Roagh over coats, heavy weights, same assort * meat. Box overcoats, English short fashion, we have tbe correct styles. Boys' and Children's Baits and Overcoats most be seen to be ap preciated. Mothers intending to dress their young sons for the winter will do well to look at our extensive stock. A cordial welcome to everybody. Come and look our store over. We cheerfully show you through.
