“TIMME THE TAILOR.”
In speaking of the different professions and lines of trade and manufacturing in Winfield, our list would not be complete without a mention of “Timme The Tailor.” Mr. T. R. Timme came to this city over a year ago from Chicago, and established himself as a merchant tailor; he has now one of the most complete establishments in this line in the State, and employs a number of first class assistants. Mr. Timme thoroughly understands his business, and is an artist tailor. He is also a courteous gentleman whose pleasure it is to suit his patrons. Try him once and you will never forget “Timme The Tailor.”

CARD. I would respectfully announce to the public that my establishment, formerly located above the post office, has been removed to the ground floor one door north of Johnston’s & Hill’s, where I shall be glad to show my Patrons “Old and New,” a com­plete line of Cloths for gentlemen’s wear, embracing all the Novelties of this season. As I guarantee a first class fit, I differ but in one respect with “Ely,” of Chicago in prices, giving you the same article for half the money—a fact—so if you want to pay two prices, I can safely recommend Mr. Ely. All other houses, especially in Kansas City, I cannot conscientiously recognize as worthy of notice. Thanking the public for their generous support, I remain respectfully, T. R. Timme, The Tailor.
J. W. Johnston and J. L. M. Hill [Johnston & Hill] were located on Main Street, east side, between 9th and 10th Avenues, Winfield, in 1880. Timme evidently moved one door north of their location.

T. R. Timme has closed out his merchant tailoring stock and will retire from business for a time. Mr. Timme is one of the most successful tailors we have ever known and a thorough artist in his line. Should he decide to locate elsewhere, we take pleasure in recommending him as a first-class workman and a straight-forward businessman.

He guarantees satisfaction in every particular.
Respectfully, T. R. TIMME.
