At least, we have tried hard and earnestly to do everything in the world tba would ordinarily biing suooess to a store. Tbe rapid almost phenominal increase in onr tusinees woud indi cate that we are at least pleasing a great majority of the buying publio ; and, for this we feel highly gratified and thankful. Onr customers always corns tbe second, and the third time, and this of course, is the basis of our success. - We want to, therefore, talk to thtfce who have not tried trading bere as yet We want to say to you, TRY,t If we do npt make your trading both pleasant and profitable we-incur a great business risk.
