WE respectfully invite Purchasers to
call and examine our stock of Fall and Winter
Goods, at we think they will be found, upon examination,
to compare fevorabl y with any other assortment in the
place, as well In quality as in price, although we are not
prepared to say (as some of m Brother Chips have said,)
that some descriptions of goods have not advanced in
price,’ for in doing so we would come in contact with tbe
Intelligence of the people, as every boy of six years old
knows better—that we cannot selldomestic goods at old
prices, unless we buy an interior quality.
We have a full assortment of Goods, embracing all the
usual varieties, such as FRESH COFFEES, TEAS. SU
GARS, SYRUPS, SPICES, AC., to make up. the full
FAMILY GROCERY.
Also, BOOTS, SHOES, HATS, CAPS, Ac., Ac., with a
geaeral assortment of

And as to *
DRY GOODS,*
our assortment is complete; and as we have adopted the
CASH SYSTEM, as near as we can, we are enabled to sell
at much lower prices than when we gave a general credit.
We therefore feel very grateful to our friends and a gen
erous Public for the very liberal patronage heretofore
given us, and hope, by strict attention to business and a
full determination to please our patrons in prices and.
qualities, to retain the adhering closely to an .
