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 1 I
trust mutually beneficial charac
ter. I am certain you have all I
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 " 1 love Ceaser less, but
Rome more," 1 desire to give
you all some evidence of my ap
preciation of your friendship, and
■
have decided to other my entire
stock of GENTLEMEN'S FUR

never visited my store, I remain
