WIENER'S CHEAP STORE
The proprietor of this widely known establishment has been engaged in the
business for over ten years. He was, for a number of years, in New York
City, where he did a large business. He came here from the metropolis, and
in May 1878, opened out a stock in the south room of Kennedy's block,
southwest angle of the Public Square. The popular prices adopted by this
house were appreciated by the people in this vicinity, and his trade grew so
rapidly than an enlargement of the store room was a necessity. In August of
the same year the store room was enlarged thirty- five feet, which enabled
him to better accommodate his customers. As his trade increased he made
additions to his stock, until now it is complete in every respect. He makes
a specialty of millinery goods at prices never before heard of in this city,
and his trade in this line has grown to mammoth proportions, until now he
has the largest trade in this county in that specialty. At Wiener's Cheap
Store may be found all the latest styles and novelties in the way of
millinery goods of all kinds, the largest stock of trimmings, fine silk
handkerchiefs and elegant styles in ties, and ornaments for the hair, ladies
furnishing goods and notions. In short, it is impossible to name anything in
the catalogue of millinery goods which he can not furnish . Give him a call,
and you can rest assured of receiving the best bargains to be had in this
city.
