Spalding, Merchsint Tailor, Hosier, Vestings and Glover, Crass, Forfar\—This splendidly- DreSi organised undertakiiig ,>was d^^ginated by Mr Spalding in the /y^r 1882,- and so rapid and uninterrupted has/hafn its development that it is now aLC(|punted Qnc of tlie leading concerns of iti kind |nlthe di^rict. In bespoke tailorins Spaldlngl^ opoifations are of a very iniM|ISnt naturd; |iT^¥act, the contract for the FogliFshire Trouserings Ulsters Constabulary has been entrusted to J|^ for the last two'years. This has been onegjjr^the causes &. Caoes whi^h have necessitated so laragpa staff of assis- ^jt^A'ts. Mr Spalding gives-prnployment to as many as twenty hands, .^|¥R^is, therefore, well worthy of mention in t^^e reviews of the busi- ness men and busine|«.'industries of Forfar. The collection of materials includes the choicest fabrics which are produced in all the most famous manu- Hosiery Overcoats facturing centres. In outfitting goods provision has been made which is eminently calculated to meet both the tastes and recjuirements of an influential, extensive, and fastidious clientele, the articles in every section of this attractive depart- ment being of distinctly superior quality and most excellent finish. A speciality to which Mr Highland Spalding devotes considerable attention is undyed Hats natural sanitary lambswool underclothing. Vests, Cloaks shirts, and trousers are made of this useful mat- erial in gentlemen's, youths', and boys' sizes, and meet with an enormous sale. Mr Spalding's premises are large, handsome, well-arranged, and admirably situated, and his employes are smart and obliging. When we say, in conclusion, that Mr Spalding's early training was received in some Suitings of the best Edinburgh establishments, we think Gloves no more need be said in commendation of this worthy tradesman. 11 » i 1 iTTi 1 1 iTi 1 I II 1 1 11 1 rii 1 11 rri 1 1 1 1 »ti i » i rri i g 1 1 1 1 g 1 1 m Colonial and Foreign Outfits of every description made on the Shortest Notice, A.
