The Fall Iloom.
The cool weather, which has becomo mora
decided this week, though delightful as It
atl'ects one's comfort, has caused a regular
"boom" in trade In fall aud winter goods at
II. J. aillen's In all departments.
Particularly noticeable is the demand for
cloaks and shawls a stock that Is fresh ev
ery day, almost. This week tbero have becu
largo arrivals In
Silk lined garments;
fine beavers, diagonals, and silk garments
In cloaks and dolmans; and In
Paisley and Broehe shawls; and also
A superb line of Beaver and Woolen shawls.
Tho removal of the department up stairs
has macio their facilities for handling these
goods so much more convenient for both
salesman and buyer that tho bouse has becu
enabled te largely increase tbe size of the
stock, which Is that much moro attractive

great variety of dress goods already on baud

The low prices are taking away the flannel,

period during the last 20 years, and as we
remarked before are keeping tbe houso In a
perfect boom.
