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 j
trust mutually beneficial charac
ter. I am certain you have all
shown me that you were friends
indeed, and T 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," I desire to give!
you all some evidence of my ap- i
preciation of your friendship, and
have decided to offer my entire!
stock of GENTLEMEN'S FUR
NISHING GOODS, WINTER |
SUITINGS, &C., at greatly re
duced prices during the remain
*
der of my stay in Towanda.
. .
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.
