A CARD.

TO DRY GOODS MERCHAN Ii
consequence of the extremely unsettled
state of the currency for a few years past, rem
dering the sales on credit so very hazardous,
and the manifest wrong and injustice of charg-
ing the good man so high profit as the ncces-
sity ofthe case compels every one 10 do in or
der 10 meet the losses by the bad, we adopted
the plan Of buying and selling exclusively for
cash. And now having fully tested the fact,
that those who buy their goods on credit, or Of
credit houses, or of cash and credit houses, can
not al all compete with our customers in the
sale cftheir goods, we shall therefore, continue
the same system.
By paying cash for our goods, we are ena-
6led 10 obtain most ofthem from Manufacturers,
and from first hands, thereby saving lat least)
all the charges of the commission merchani
such as commissies, guarantee, interest, labor
&C., which often amounts 10 a retail profit,
which enables us TO sell by the piece, as low as
they are usually bought by the package, (inter.
est off,
We therefore specially invite all those in the
trade who are not willing TO pay the losses by
others, and can make such pay for their goods,
to call and examine ours, before purchasing
elsewhere.
We keep constantly on hand a general as.
sortment Of American, English and French.
Woolen, Linen, Cotton and Silk. Fancy and
staple Dry Goods, by the piece or package.

physicians, and have taken much medicine, but re-
ceived little relief and at last they told me there
was no help for me that my was beyond the
reach of their medicines. In the spring of 1927 was
advised by friend to try the Vegetable Pulmonary
Balsam. obtained two bottles, and on trial was
surprised to find sudden and effectual relief which it
gave me, and after using it about five weeks all my
complaints were entirely removed; and was restored
