      James Richard Locke







      'There was some disputing in the prohibition convention at Pittsburg, but there is no disputing the fact that ABEL & LOCKE sell carpets, wallpaper and curtain goods for less money than any other house in the city.'



      'Gold, gold, gold, though hard to get and slippery to hold, is just the one thing needful to get your house decorated in the very best manner by ABEL & LOCKE. You will be astonished to find how little is required to get the necessary decorations to make your home beautiful.'



      'The rush of the wind in a cyclone is one thing and the rush of the people to ABEL & LOCKE's to buy carpets, wallpaper, etc., is another. The first is destruction, the second is beneficial. All who buy of ABEL & LOCKE get full value of their money, make home more pleasant, and so add to the happiness of life.'



      'There are kicking democrats, independent republicians who kick, and kicking prohibitionists, but the city has yet failed to show a single individual who kicks on account of the purchases he made of ABEL & LOCKE in the line of carpets, wallpaper, etc.'
