IN THIS OLD PLACE.
WE respectfully invite Purchasers to
call and eiamitie our stock of Fall and Winter
Goods, as we think will be found, upon examination,
to compare favorably with any other assortment in the
place, as well in quality as in price, although we are not
prepared to say (as some of our Brother Chips have said,)
that some descriptions of goods have not advanced in
price, for in doing we would come in contact with the
intelligence of the people, as every! boy of six years old
knows better—that we cannot sell domestic 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, AO, to make up the full
FAMILY GROCERY.
Also, BOOTS, SHOES, HATS, CAPS, Ac., Ac., with a
general assortment of
READY-MADE CLOTHING,
FOR MEN AND BOYS, from a fine drees coat down to a
monkey-jacket.
Also, a full assortment of HARDWARE,
CEDAR WARM. QVEESSWARE,
CROCKER T WARE, «*C. rfC, rfC
And as to
DRY GOODS,
onr, assortment is complete; and aa we have adopted the
CASH SYSTEM, as near as we cah, wo are enabled to sell
at much lower prices than when we gave & general credit.
We therefore feel very grateful to our friends and a gen
erous Public for the verv 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 same—still julhering closely to'an
