Word Witli >l,y Customers, Two years ago, when I came among you a stranger, you kind ly extended to me a generous patronage, and our relations have been of the most cordial and I trust mutually beneficial charac ter. I am certain you have all shown me that you were friends indeed, and I have striven to merit your confidence and pat ronage, and now being about to return to my old home, not be cause " I love Ceaser less, but Rome more," I desire to give you all some evidence of my ap preciation of your friendship, and have decided to offer my entire stock of GENTLEMEN'S FUR NISHING GOODS, WINTERj SUITINGS, &C., at greatly re duced prices during the remain der of my stay in Towanda. i - The goods will be disposed ol at a sacrifie in order to close out stock. Hoping to see all my old customers and many who have never visited my store, I remain Faithfully Yours, J. DOUTRICK. 1831. THE CULTIVATOR 1880. AND Country Grentleman.
