KANSAS has had her share Qf the Glory, Fun, Confusion &c., and I am happy to state that she is about quieting herself and yielding the palm to the little village of Tioga. About the first of November last I 'commenced selling Goods in Tioga, am still selling, j For a little time past there has been quite an efibrtjon the part of some to establish a standard price.for goods par. Ucnlarly on leading articles the very articles of which the poor man uses the most. :-A few days since 1 made up my mind to change jny prices on FLOUR & MEAL, as I thought 1 had a right to. I therefore had a very modest handbill printed informing .the people of what I intended doing in the future. No sooner had the fact become known that I had reduced the price, than one man selling the same kind of Goods, says: “Its a lie ! Con’t be the same article! I know it ain't good 1” Another, interested in .keeping up oldTogy prices, presents thc documents to show that from the prices he pays in Buffalo for Flour, Meal &c.,of course BTZ'S article at the low price can not be as good as ours at our high prices. Great discovery! Sensible reasoning! Humbug conclu sion ! j How long since did they find out that my articles were not tip.top ? Why, just the moment my price did not agree with theirs. Our only answer to their unkind remarks toward us, is, that our flour was very nice until we changed the price. Did that change tile quality ? when it is the selfsame article we have sold since last April. Hundreds can bear me witness that it is as s nice as any article they ever used. It" has never been our practice nor never will be to say aught of the quality of our neighbor's goods. But wc do say that our “extra superfine” and u sa. perCne” flour is as good as any flour manufactured or sold in Tioga County. You citizens that buy don't longer believe the humbug yarn that you must pay from 50 to 75 per cent for goods, especially if you get trusted a few months. No wonder every plank in the Wellsboro* and Tioga Plank Road has received a thousand curses from the merchants of Tioga village, because it has driven trade from us, they say. The curses will grow louder and deeper both from buyer and seller until Goods are sold at a reasonable cash profit. Since we commenced we have tried to meet the wants of the public, and we flatter ourselves that our large cash sales are good evidence that our effort has not been a failure, bat has been appreciated by a generous and candid pub. lie. We shall continue selling Goods in the corner store of A. C. & J, S. Bush, directly opposite of Baldwin, Lowell & Co., where we shall be pleased to show our Goods and give our prices. Wo shall buy a large stock of all kinds of Goods in New York this fall, and shall hope by pursuing a straight forward course to merit the favor of enough of the people of Tioga county to sell them and get our pay. We shall try and have the quality and price satis, factory. Call and sec before purchasing. M.BULLARD 0 BULLARD LIST OF PRICES.
