PROCLAMATION. On Tuesday. March 1, 1898, I will move my tailoring business in the room formerly occupied by Miss Mary Gloss, milliner, four doors of Old Ada County Bank. The attention of every law abiding citizen is called to the■ th it is your duty to encourage home industry. The man that helps sustain your municipalty is your fellow citizen; especially with your tailoi. We do al work here where you can see the skill we put into your garments We are here for you to “kick at” if something is not just right. It is our bread and butter to please you. The price of woolens have advanced considerable, but our pi ices remain the same. We are the originator of low prices in merchant tailoring, and the fact that we made to order over two hundred suits since September last is evidence that we do the best work for the least money. Our Elegant Spring Styles are now ready for your inspection. Every style of cloth used in a first-class tailoring establishment can be found at our place of business. We don't claim to be the best tailors on earth, but we do claim to be as good as the best, and our prices are lower than any. Come in and see us. If we can’t do you good we wont do you harm. Four doors west of Old Adams County Bank, after March 1, 1898. DOTY, The Tailor. The office of the Wells, Fargo & Co’s Express will be located at my place of business.
