To those who buy Good Clothing
Below you will find a letter from our fellow townsman, i
V. A, Robinson. Mr. Robinson, before leaving for
Chicago, purchased a suit and overcoat from us, which
he had intended to purchase in Chicago. We induced
him to make the purchase of us—hence this letter. . .
CHIOAGO, TLL.,, FEBRUARY 14, 1909,
Mr. Nat McConnell and Boston Dry Goods Co., h
» Florence, Colo., i
Dear Sir and Gentlemen;:— i
: On top of what you had said relative to possible
difference in prices between yours and Chicago prices, | [
I thought I would learn for my own satisfaction what T
might have saved on suit and overcoat you sold me, had | M
I purchased in Chicago. 1 have not found a single suit | B
of any make of the quality you sold me for less money | §
('lll}'\\‘lll‘l'l“: in fact, the same suit displayed, bore a tag )
50c¢ more than your price. At no time has the suit orl i
similar quality been displayed at a sales price, and T| §
have visited the home of the H., S. & M. Clothing most | §
every day. 'The overcoat was displayed on Saturday at
a sale price 50c less than T paid you, not enough dif
ference tofpay freight on an individual suit. i
These were interesting facts to me and ought
tobe to the home merchant. I wish all Florence people
could appreciate the facts as I now do.
Very truly yours,

‘16 is diflicnlt for one with bho1

that when the historian 256 or 50 years
hence shall desoribe his adminigtra

exerted as the ohief magistrate of the
country he will accord to him a
place with Washington avd Lincoln
and that wpe will treat him, as

ROCK CHASES MAN AND
CRUSHES HIM TO DEATH
George M. Deibert has returned
from Oaleite, near Howard, in the
western part of the connty, where I
had been called to take charge of!
body of a man who was killed thers
last Ffiday morning. The name of
the man is a peculiar one and is
spelled Gerasinos Viahagianis. The
deconsad wus a Greek, forty-five
years old, marriod and his family is
in the old country.
The accident was a very peculiar
one, yet it is one, it is sald, where
the same man had once before narrow
ly escaped death. He was working
in the lime quarry and a rock 250
abova broke loose and traveled like a
streak of lightoiug down the hllside, .
then Lounded and rolled about 200
feet further, strock the Creek and
stopped thirty feet fuarther on.
Viatagianis stood sti!l and watched
the rock comivg until it was within
a fow feet of him, turned and ran
in the direction of the rock as if
trying to ontran it,
But he was not flset evough on
foot and was ove-taken, I[le was
knocked down, the boulder passed
over his back and one of the sharp
corpers struck him on the head,crush
ing the left side and killing him
almost fustantly, The body was pre
pared for Lurial and tiken to Puebio
The dead man bad an elegant physi
que and weighed over 206 pounds, ‘
; While Mr. Delbert has resided In‘
Fremont county for about thirt.
‘yev\n Lie gays he has pever nlrramwl!
