Carr Bros. ‘ A DECADE’S GROWTH. What a Nevada City Business Firm has Accomplished in Ten Years. During the month ‘of March, 1876, a little fancy goods and millinery establishment was opened on Main street, this city, by two enterprising ladies, who had, after mature consideration, come to the conclusion that such an establish ment might be made a source of limited profit to them. Their stock of goods was at first a very small one, and the main difficulty experienced was in so arranging it upon the few shelves and in the solitary show-case that it would look as extensive as possible. The few goods had, however, been selected with admirable taste and judgment, and the critical public who wanted to buy were not slow in finding out this fact. The business . grew: rapidly. Month by month the stock in trade was increased to meet the demand, and this rendered necessary the enlargement of the storeroom from time to time. Today — but little more than ten years after the humble beginning—Mrs, Lester & Crawford have not only one of the largest establishments of the kind in Nevada county, but there is none in Northern California outside of Sacramento that excels it in popularity or the amount of business done. .The handsome and welllighted salesroom is 40x60 feet in dimensions and is most conveniently arranged for the showing of abe and the dispatch of business. t is divided into departments for the various kinds of goods, and there are two entrances from Main street. Just inside the southern entrance is THE MILLINERY DEPARTM ENT, Where are shown over 200 varieties of trimmed and untrimmed hats and bonnets, new styles being received from San Francisco almost daily as fast as they appear in the windows of the leading milliners at the metropolis. Passing the hat and bonnet display, one comes to the assortment of : BANCY FEATHERS, BIRDS, Ostrich ‘plumes .and tips, which embrace over 400 distinct styles in these goods, and compare favorably in extent and quality with the exhibits in leading city houses’ It is wortl:y of note that the value of the ostrich feathers kept in stock by the firm now represents a larger sum than did their total original investment in the store. ; Another department is devoted te) MILLINERY TRIMMINGS, Such as flowers, silks, satins, velvets, ornaments, beads, braids, pompons, laces, ete.

This is not a ‘‘retiring from business” sale like that of some of the old merchants who advertised to that effect two or three years ago end are here yet. When I say I will sell out, I mean it. A certain merchant in this city advertises, ‘Down with High Prices,’’ and he claims to have been in business here about 14 years. He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts. He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, etc., thrown in. He offers for $4 50 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at $8: He did a similar thing two years ago when he said he was about to retire from business. Still he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is here yet. [have been but three years in this place. I:am the only man that originally. réduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. I claim the chiampionship in reducing and keeping down prices. I offer For proof that T atm not entitled to that championship. I have never said that I would sell for $10 a suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause I do not nifake profits big enough to do so. Neither have I offered to throw ina white shirt worth $1, a necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. Tagse are things no merchant who charges only a living profit can do. When Isell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. He hassold $15 suitsfor $25 and $30, and can afford to throw in a good many things. _ Task the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50 cents on the dollar for-goods and give no prizes. Isay thatI sell goods in this city at lower™prices then other dealers can buy for. The reason is (I can show bills to. “i Lg be aan buying for cash. Iam the only dealer in Nevada county who does his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy the cloth and have it made into suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right eut of school as clerks, and do a good deal of work myself. The expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in consequence of my savings. Iam here to stay. I have not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich. I have no communication, nor am I in connivance with any of the other dealers here. They are all at enmity with me, and want to get me away a8soon as they can. But they cannot drive me, nor-hire me, nor coax me to go. AgainI say I am here to stay, and stay I will in spite of all opposition and enmity. dee I ask the people to continue their liberal patronage, and I will do my level best to continue deserving it. I only ask for small profits, and will not want anything more.

This is not a ‘‘retiring from business” sale like that of some of the old merchants who advertised to that effect two or three years ago end are here yet. When I say I will sell out, I mean it. A certain merchant in this city advertises, ‘Down with High Prices,’’ and he claims to have been in business here about 14 years. He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts. He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, etc., thrown in. He offers for $4 50 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at $8: He did a similar thing two years ago when he said he was about to retire from business. Still he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is here yet. [have been but three years in this place. I:am the only man that originally. réduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. I claim the chiampionship in reducing and keeping down prices. I offer For proof that T atm not entitled to that championship. I have never said that I would sell for $10 a suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause I do not nifake profits big enough to do so. Neither have I offered to throw ina white shirt worth $1, a necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. Tagse are things no merchant who charges only a living profit can do. When Isell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. He hassold $15 suitsfor $25 and $30, and can afford to throw in a good many things. _ Task the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50 cents on the dollar for-goods and give no prizes. Isay thatI sell goods in this city at lower™prices then other dealers can buy for. The reason is (I can show bills to. “i Lg be aan buying for cash. Iam the only dealer in Nevada county who does his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy the cloth and have it made into suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right eut of school as clerks, and do a good deal of work myself. The expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in consequence of my savings. Iam here to stay. I have not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich. I have no communication, nor am I in connivance with any of the other dealers here. They are all at enmity with me, and want to get me away a8soon as they can. But they cannot drive me, nor-hire me, nor coax me to go. AgainI say I am here to stay, and stay I will in spite of all opposition and enmity. dee I ask the people to continue their liberal patronage, and I will do my level best to continue deserving it. I only ask for small profits, and will not want anything more.
