ELLIS & MURRAY

Dry floods, Clothing, Boots and Shoes. One of the best and most prominent houses engaged in the handling of dry goods, boots and shoes, etc., is that of Ellis & Murray, located at the corner of Washington and Van Rensselaer streets. Able and enterprising and backed by a wide practical experience this store has long occupied a front rank position and enjoys a large trade. The large store room is handsomely fitted and arranged, a vast and varied stock is carried on hand and in assortment represents all that is best to be obtained in the large markets, comprising everything comprehended under the general heads of staple and fancy dry goods, notions, yarns, dress goods, infants needs, hosiery, knit goods, shirt waists and ladies furnishings. The latest styles and the best values in boots and shoes are always found here, and a large stock of clothing, hats, caps, etc., of the best values and at lowest prices. Only the best goods are handled and such as the house can fully warrant to be just as represented. Mr. James H. 8. Ellis and Mr. Geo. E. Murray, who comprise the firm, purchase their goods in large quantities and by getting discounts off are able to give their patrons the direct benefit by quoting low prices. They personally look after all departments and pursue the most systematic methods in the general conduct of their business.
