DEG leave to call the attention of Country Mer-
~ chants and dealers generally, to their very
heavy stock of DRUGs, MEDICINES, PAINTS, OILS,
Dye Stuffs, Window Glass, Putty, Fancy Goods,
and Perfumery, which they are confident they
can and will sell as low, and in some cases
lower than the same can be bought in New York.
Our object is to sell to cash customers, or those
who pay promptly on the usual credit. ANY such
wanting articles in our line, would do well to ex-
anime our stock and prices, assuring them that we
can at least save them the expense of freghts and
commissions.
Many Of our goods were laid in before the late
advances, and will be sold at such rates as must
insure sales.
The quality of all articles warranted ANY
proving different from what they are represented
can be returned at our expense.
We think it needless to enumerate what we
have on hand. Suffice it 10 say our stock has been
selected with special reference to the Virginia
and North Carolina trade, and will be found to
comprise any and every article usually sold in
Drug establishments.
We are the sole wholesale Agents for the very
popular Blood Purifier, Carter's Spanish Mixture,
and many other popular family medicines, at the
