ravel mystery, which for long time has puz-
zled their neghbor Merchants and even Custo-
mers, how they could sell their goods at such
low prices, and build fine Store houses in the
bargain
But by selling off their present stock at Cost,
the whole public can see that it does not require
any magic power to sell as low as the Jew Store
in Glasgow, but it only requires SUCH arrange
ments, as that of purchasing Goods at such extra
ordinary and astonishing low prices as S. Chids
Bros, for as long the other Merchants 90
East but once or twice a year, and then some of
them only as far as st. Louis, where they have
to pay pretty dear for their whistles, they never
need to try, either by Auction ,or private Sales,
to compete with S. Childs d Bros. Cor the Jews
in Glasgow Now Friends, relnember-that the

now selling off at Cost at such prices as will
most assuredly astonish the natireS. and their
stock being as yet very extensive, you can suit
yourselves in every thing you may wish, from
Jewsharp dozen to fine silk shawl or gentle
mans cloak, or from a side Of sole leather up
to a fine gold breast pin, DC, dc.
Now then, whoever wishes to put his money
to great deal better interest than the law allows,

0rTO MERCHANTS, who wish to replenish
their stock for Winter, Spring or Summer, we
would say, that they would find it to their advan.

they will find that st. Louis can't face it, either
