The difference in contingent expenses would
exceed 500
$4,000
Now in Richmond, ah the expenses mentioned
above will not exceed 1000
So great is this difference, that justfes us in saying
that sell smaller profit than the PhiladeI
phia or New York Merchant
Confident oil our ability to sell low at least,
equally persuaded that Il is interest do Our
constantly dnd largely increasing amount Of soies
since we have pursued this policy proves that we have
done so. Otherwise customers could not have
peed and competed successfully with those Merchants
in their neighborhood who have obained supplies from
Northern Cities. In no other way retain our
many valuable customers hope 10 attract others Sup
posing that we sell rs low the New York Merchant,
the Virginia Country Merchant would make a saving by
buying here Of about FIVE per cent in the difference OF
his travelling expenses and the freight aud other charges
upon his Goods
With these advantages, and influenced by these consi
TO City and Country Merchants, aving given up the
tail business) and shall keep for sale in Richmond stock
q Dry Goods equal in ertent and rariety to any in
this country.
Ii can supply yourselves here at low rates in
the Northern cities there is every why you should
give Richmond the preference, and thereby build with
in your own State an extensive city and mart, which
would give activity TO industry and dispense riches
throughout the surrounding country and State.
If you neglect the inducements that your city
holds out capital and enterprise will leave and seek
pioyment elsewhere. Our State will daily become
and tributary to distant cities, from which you
expect no returning benefit which you would receive
of 10 the Northern man, to the Merchants of your
city, who with you support the burdens Of government
and contribute in all things the prosperity OF the State
Ii you viii determine TO make this your Market you will
find that every other description OF Goods will be sent
here and offered at low they be had in the
Northern Cities. We believe this TO be the now,
with the exception Of very few articles.
We invite you to examine our Goods when you visit
our city. F. & J. S. JAMES s. co.
