We have received by late arrivals, last fall, a

GOODS; all Of which were purchased early in
the fall, in the Atlantic Cities, at the lowest
possible cash prices and can say TO our friends
and the public, that we have on hand the largest

west of st. Louis, and we are determined to sell,
for cash in hand, 10 per cent. cheaper than any
house west of st. Louis. Our motto u.s. s'ouick
sales and small profits" The fact of our selling
lower than other houses can sell, is, we have no
house rent to pay; no clerks to employ; no corpor.
alton tax to pay and other expenses are about one
half what they are generally in towns which are
incorporated
All who are disposed to doubt the fact of our
selling 10 per cent. lower than other houses cen
sell, will please give us call and examine our
extensive stock before purchasing elsewhere.
