OUR MERCHANT TAILORING DEPARTMENT
Has increased to such an extent that we now employ more hands and turn out more suits than any other establishment in lower
Luzerne. Our unsurpassable display of piece goods, the perfect fit, low price and first-class workmanship have iven our suits a
reputation which our competitors cannot touch. Why pay a large price for a made ta order suit, when the Wear Well can give you
the best in the market at a saving of from 15 to $8 on every suit? Mr. L. J. Davies, formerly of Hazleton, has charge of this depart
ment as cutter, and we guarantee that all work passing through his hands will be found satisfactory.
Remember 1 lu - s - ,s ', 10 a ? w f stlll , remain in town an<l will be here to back up every promise we make. The sale will
K, positively last only thirty days or until we realize the money required. This is the best chance the people
ever had to furnish themselves with reliable clothing right at the beginning of the summer season

ADVERTISING.
Nothing, except the mint, can make
money without advertising.'—Gladstone.
1 would as soon think of doing busi
ness without cierks as without adver
tising.—John Wunamaker.
When you pay more for the rent of
your business house than for advertis
ing your business, you are pursuing a
false policy. If you can do business,
lot it be known.—benjamin Franklin.
The coal companies' organization,
known as the Taxpayers' Association,
is reaching out in an attempt to throttle
the public schools. A seven-months'
term, it is alleged, Is all that the
revenues will permit in the surrounding
townships, and the law, they say, must
be lived up to strictly. It would not be
a bad idea if the law were enforced,
and a beginning might with profit bo
made at the assessment of coal oper
ators' lands in the townships where
the revenues are inadequate to meet
the school expenses. Instead of assess- j
ing coal land, worth $5,000 to $15,000
an acre, at $5 an acre, let the law be
strictly enforced. Let the operators
pay an equitable share of the school
taxes, and the school funds will be
sufficient in a few years to give every
pupil in the townships about us a col
lege education. Enforco the law and
let us see if meddlesome fingers won't
get a neat burning.
Again the Populists, in national con
vention assembled, have sacrificed that,
which is dear to every political party,
viz., the privilege of honoring a member
of their organization with a nomination
for office, and have unanimously chosen
William Jennings Bryan as their stand
ard-bearer for the presidency. Tho
Populists are sincerely for reform, and
they show it by choosing a man from
another party who has a chance to win.
rather than lose their votes by casting
them for one of their own members.
Bryan today embodies the hopes of
every true friend of the republic. He
is big enough and broad enough in
sentiment and principle for every re
former to look up to as tho exponent of
all that is best for our country's future,
and, villified and slandered as he has
boon for four years past, he looms up
now as the one true American leader
in whom hope and trust may be placed
with security.
It would interest a good many Demo
crats to learn who asked the Republi
can anti-Quay bosses to interfere in the
selection of a Democcatic candidate for
the legislature in this district. The
Democrats are qualified to make a
choice without assistance from Mr.
Drake and his colleagues, and the
scheme to foist one of their henchmen
on the ticket will, if successful in the
convention, be resented at the polls.
Men who are Democrats when it suits
Republican leaders' purposes are not the
kind of Democrats who should represent
this district in the legislature.
When tho matter of fire protection
for the Ilill was first talked of—after
the territory was admitted to the
borough—a fire engine was suggested
as the only reliable safeguard. The
idea, however, was ridiculed by the
know-alls. Now, after a waste of
money and time with other appliances,
council is back to the question of buy
ing an engine. It takes a long while
for common sense to drive Its way into
some heads.

Something About Our Store.
Our store is stocked with all that is new and desir
able in spring and summer merchandise in our lines. We
have steadily aimed to build up a reputation for fair and
honest dealing with our patrons, and to do this we cannot
afford to sell one article except for what it really is. We
employ no deceptive schemes, we give away no chromos,
we do not sell below cost, nor do we sell the same class of
goods at two prices. We give the best service and atten
tion we can, we cheerfully refund money if purchases are
not satisfactory, and accord to every patron, friend or
stranger, the same treatment. If you desiie to buy at a
store where these principles are rigidly followed, call' on us.
Men's and Women's Shoe's In this department we
have achieved an un
expected success. Not only are our shoes perfect in appear
ance, good fitting, splendid wearing, but ou prices are in
many cases half what you have been paying. Our Men's and
Boys' Dress Shoes, in Black or Russet, are as pretty a lot as
you could wish to see. The same can be said for our Women's
and Misses' Shoes. In Working Shoes we continue to handle
only the very best makes that the factories produce. Nothing
wrong with our prices, either.
Men's and Boys' Hats S'". "X
Prices for a good stiff hat run from SI up to the latter
being the cost of our popular Hawes' Hat, which is equal in
strength, durability and nattiness to any $5 hat on the market.
Boys' hate and caps in endless assortments, styles and prices.
FurnishinffS ur succ . ess ' n catering to the popular taste
5 in selecting colored summer shirts last year
appears to be ready for repetition. We have a stock on our
[ counters now which is certainly the cream of the season's
make. In Neckwear our line is handsome, complete and up
to-date, so it is with every other department.
