FIFTEEN DOLLARS FOR A FINE
SADDLE

~A Saddles, brides, harness &c
HghAa~s%jA Of all kinds constantly on hant
Es.4.AA by the Subscribers at theil
~SA Carriage and Saddle-shop, or
Church street, opposite the Catholic church,
which they offer for sale at prices much below
the former prices, aud in fact as low, or lower
than they can be purchased in this country
They are selling saddles at fifteen dollars and
warrant them well made and Of good materi-
ais.
Several of the Dry Goods stores in Baton
Rouge have become Saddle and harness shops
fearing that mechanics might make A living a
he business, and they are not willing to give
them thai opportunity. We would invite per-
sons before they purchase to examine we'll
hose saddles. and compare them with our
work and make, and We are confident they
will find them much inferior in point of work
nanship and material. When compared with
our work Of Saddles, Brides, Harness &c,
they appear something like Peter Pindsr's
razors, made for sale, We warrant cur work.
We also continue the business Of Carriage
making and repairing in the best style and on
the shortest notice, at prices corresponding
with the hard times, and payments made easy.
We hope by strict attention to business to
merit continuance of public patronage.
