The Head of the Procession. atW, f. Q feZ* Is the place we have occupied daring all the years we have been in business. We lead—others follow as best they can! Our Assortments is the largest of any store in town. It is rather a high sounding but why should we hesitate to say what everybody knows to be a fact? From the lowest-priced, reliable and trustworthy grades up to the costliest and rijhest suits and overcoats it is possible for human hands to put together—we have a variety ’ that is simply magnificent The Quality* and Finish of the Lucky Worsted garments are perfection itself. There used to be a time when you could tell “store cloths” from the “made-to-order” sort a mile away. But the suits and overcoats branded the “Lucky Worsted” are so stylish, so tasty, so well made and perfect fitting that many a merchant tailor would do well to use them for models to imitate. Our Prices Are the Lowest. Most emphatically the lowest, considering quality, workmanship and trimmings. It is low prices for fine Clothing that has built up our business, and keeps on developing this great store to still larger and grander Men’s Suits From $6.75 UPTO JO. Hen’s Overcoats from e gO UPTO JO. *" And evejy gaiment ursuii.afcfctd at the price anj where inthis country. Not Only is ■.; " “ . the case in our clothing department but everything in our full and complete stock is first class and selling at bottom prices. Do not fail to see our ladies and children’s cloaks before buying. We solicit you to come and inspect our stock and learn our prices. Store in Nowels Block. C. D. NOWELS, Proprietor.
