IT is not too soon for business men to consider what they will advertise in The Mail's big ten tnousand edition week after next. These semi-annual editions of The Saturday Evening Mail are the most thorough advertising mediums issued from this city, and are printed at ju»t the time our merchants want to reach out for trade. The main object of getting out these editions are to introduce new chapters of serial stories, and to make a good showing of a readable paper—so, of course, only a limited space is given to advertising.

He served as deputy county auditor with Albert Lange, and of late years has been engaged in life and fire insurance business and as agent for Atlantic steamers.

AND SOLD DITTO—WHERE TO DERIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE RECENT DECLINE IN PRICES IN NEW YORK.

The reading public probably remember that there was recently a large decline in the price of dry and dress goods in the Eastern markets, and the inference to be drawn is that the merchant who was there and purchased goods at that time is the one who can now sell the same at the lowest rates. B. Ehrlich of this city, was among the fortunate Western merchants who secured the lull advantage of the decline. He invested largely in all the newest styles of domestic goods, and is now receiving tbem daily at his fashionable emporium on Main street. Case after case is arriving daily, and thoso who visit tho store and inwpect the stock are delighted with what they see, and sur prised as well to learn of the wonderfully low rates at which they are being marked. It really carries one back to the good old days when a man could clothe wife, babies and all for a comparatively trifling sum.

B. Ehrlich's stock at the present time is very complete. The shelves are filled with as excellent dry and dress goods as are to be found in any first-class establishment in the west, and this statement is sufficient to induce people to patronise this store, as it has become wellknown that Mr. Ehrlich's motto has always been small profits. He don't expect to get rich, but simply intends to make a comfortable living and therefore sells his goods at a small advance from cost prices.

To the reputation of thia bouse for fair and honorable dealing we need not refer, for it is known to be second to none. We will therefore close by again stating that anything and everything in the line of dry and dress goods with their attendant "fixins," can be found in the. wellregulated store of B. Ehrlich.
