What store carries such a splendid assortment, that it is possible to get all your requirements at prices much below our competitors? What store os it that always treats its clients with such courtesy and civility that it is a pleasure to shop there? What store is it that if it has not the article you require will ransack the town for it to oblige you ? One stove fills the hill ill all the above respects* more than any other, and that store is the People s Emporium. It- is essentially the people’s store, and if you are not a customer, do not delay, any longer, but give them a trial. You will be so satisfied that yoq will never deal elsewhere.
