Our purpose is 10 do a regular and system

very short profits, relying upon the amount
OF sales Tor our annual particularly
for Cash, which is our grand object but TO
persons OF known responsibility and punctu-
atty at credit OF six months, making all
accounts due the 1st September and Ist
March, at which time all accounts will be
made out and settled, Except for Groceries
or other goods when put up at wholesale pri-
ces, TO persons who purchase TO sell again
then the credit will depend upon crcum-
stances.) The propriety, and necessity of
this course will be apparent (to any one &C
quainted with business) to keep profits short
and supplies full.
Our object is tosell as much as possible in
large quantities, particularly to persons who
purchase to sell again-Dry Goods by the
piece, and Groceries, such as Sugar and
MolasseS by the barrel or hogshead Coffee
by the bag, and in this way we can and will
sell them as cheap as they can be had in
Richmond, adding freight, toll, &c, and of
course can retail them as low. We have
unquestionably more than common advan-
tages IN the purchase of our goods. The
