A Large Invoice oft

WE DISCLAIM

Any Intention to place out Neighbors in a false position. Persons with ordinary discrimination know that our advertisement did not dispute the fact that they do Merchant Tailoring. But we did make the point that "no house in this city manufacture their ready made clothing, except •. ,v.iv

Which point our Neighbors ignore in their reply, and try to "Manufacture'' public sympathy on questions of locality, "rich richer," "down east," "home institutions," etc. If our Neighbors' "ready made or made to order clothing and gents'furnishing" are made by twelve hands, then their trade must be limited indeed. Do they make their own cloth and hosiery? According to their standard of justiae, they would not contribute one cent to anything that cost labor v' outside of this city, Where do their sewing machines, thread, buttons, woolen, cotton and linen fabrics come from? Do they make them? Don't they collect raveuue from the citizens here and send it east, and purchase everything except t'je labor of twelve me^ "The doctor should take a little of his own concoction."

OUR NEIGHBORS DO NOT

Make their ready made clothing, but collect their "revenue" from citizens here and send it down east to the jobber and pay jobbtng prioes. Do the jobbers do business for fun They certainly charge a profit, and our neighbors add their profit, which brings them right where we stated last week,

"MIDDLE MERCHANTS.

We are wholesale manufacturers and employ a force of over One Thousand Men and Women in our factory and stores, and do »s large a business as any similar establishment in America. We job our goods in sixteen states, and have stores in Indianapolis as large as half a doz9n stores In this city, Ft. Wayne, Greencastle, Utica, N. Y., Lock port, N. Y., Oil City, Pa., Des Moines, low?, Dayton, Ohio, Bloomlngton, 111., and Terre Haute. We are national, not sectional. We ran a "Thousand Men Power Machine," and are not likely to be knocked out of time by a Twelve power machine. We make two profits on our goods and sell them at the "Middle Merchant's" cost price. Do they dream that we do not use our power? Who are the worklngmen's friends, but those who save them the Middle Merchant's profit, and pay out more money to citiztn workmen than said Middle Men We have no unkind feeling towards the small dealer, but our facility for doing business gives us advantages in the markets cf the world, that enable us to distance all competition and retail at their cost prioe.
