R. M. Haddon & Company
The boons conferred upon shoppers
by department stores are
manifold for in addition to saving
time and much fatigue by affording
an opportunity to buy in one
place everything that is desired.
The goods are purchased in large
quantities and thus can be sold at
a much lower price than those
who handle only one line ana Duy
on a small scale.1 Among the
stores of this description in our
city that conducted by R. M.
Haddon & Co. is a recognized
leader.
The store is large and commodious
and the arrangement of the
stock makes it one of the most
attractive in the city. Here can
be found the choicest lines of dry
goods, dress goods, fancy goods,
millinery, ladies' ready-to-wear
garments, ladies' and children's
fine shoes, ribbons, laces and embroideries,
hosiery, rugs, art
squares, lace curtains and window
shades. The things mentioned
above are only a portion
of what the store contains. They
are sole agents in this section for
the famous Butterick patterns.
This business was established 33
years ago and is one among the
oldest in the city of its kind. The|
trade of this house has increased
steadily until today it is unexcelled
in this section. Thrifty, competent
and courteous clerks are employed
to wait on the trade, which
is large and among our most critical
shoppers.
Messrs. R. M. Haddon and W.
E. Hill are among the most rep-'
resentative business men of our
city and have shown by their fair,
and honest dealings and fine j
goods, coupled with low prices, |
that they thoroughly merit-the esteem
and confidence they enjoy.
