JONES' NEW STORE, LEWISTOWN. | THE public are respectfully informed that C. L. JONES has received a verv large STUCK UP FALL AM IHVIIt liOUDS, comprising all articles kept genet ally in the other stores, with the addition of many finer kind of goods not brought before to the place. A list of goods is herewith furnished with the prices, and an examination of this extensive stock is invited before purchases i are made elsewhere. At this store goods will continue to be sold at least twenty per rent, lower than can be had elsewhere, this certainly offers great inducements to CASH BUYERS ; the saving of so large a per centage even on a small purchase will amount! to enough to make it a matter of consideration. There are many who deal in Lewis town in the old fashioned way, by trading, thus giving the store keeper the advantage of high prices, to such I would respectfully ask before making trades with the other stores to call and see my goods and hear the low prices, and I am confident that such will see the advantage of selling their produce and buy goods for cash. In a market like this, if a slight effort is made, all kinds of Country Produce can be disposed of for CASH ; it only requires a little independence and determination on the part ol the seller, as the home consumption of produce in Lewistown alone is very great, and the neces saries of life at whatever price, must be had, and they can be disposed of for cash. Since I commenced business in this place on the cash system 1 have sold a large amount of goods, and my business is daily increasing. The public appreciate the ad vantage of buying for Cash and where business is done for cash only, as there is no risk to run of credit or trade, the goods are sold at a small advance on cost prices; and the city purchases being made for Cash only and with a lengthened experience in busi ness on Market street, Philadelphia, enables the subscriber to buy beyond a doubt low er than other merchants. lam convinced that there are a great many who would like to deal with me and get cheap goods for cash if they only could command cash for their produce, to such 1 say sell cheap and sell for cash only. Now for the list of goods on hand. —DRY GOODS CLOTHS—bIack, blue, brown, invisible green, and olive, French, German and American, at all prices from $1 00 to $6 00 per yard, including a good assortment of Over Coat Cloths.
