CIRCULAR TO THE TRADERS
OF THE SOUTHERN MINES.


IT is q fact to be lamentcd, that the
City Of Stockton, through the want Of
enterprise by her Mercantile Communi-
ty, has lost, for the past two years, the
greater portion Of the best trade of the
Southern Mines. We propose to remc-
dy this evil. We ask you Why you Go
not buy your goods in Stockton, and
patronise our city? You reply at once
that the prices Of Merchandise, in Stock
ton are held at 10, Is, and 90 per cent
above the Jobbing Prices IN San Fran
cisco. Heretofore we must admit this
to have been the case; but it must con-
tinue no longer. Stockton must assume
the position nature designed for her.
Per centagc must be rcduced-inducc-
ments must be held out to heavy buyers,
who pass through to San Francisco, and
make their pur hases for cash. The
fact is, Goods must be sold in Stockton
at G
San Francisco Job1;ns prices, with
Freight added,
We propose to furnish q ocds at these
Rates. We can and will do it--Our
facilities for purchasing in large lots
warrant us in advertising to this effect;
and We call upon the Merchants and
Traders to give us a trial and satisfy
themselves whether or not we will prove
our assertions correct. Shrewd business
men are engaged in the Trade of the
Southern Mines--competition is strong
goods mnst be bought at the lowest
rates, for your markets. Allthis We are
fully aware of, and it is far from our
intention to humbug or deceive, in our
efforts to secure your patronage to our
city. It is certainly more convenient
for you to purchase your goods in Stock
ton, if the rates will justify; and while
the loss of our trade to San Francisco
will be nothing, our gain must be i'm
mcnsc. - = f-t@
Call and satisfy yourselves that our
terms are the same as those of the job
bers in San Francisco. All Goods war
ranted to be perfect.
Orders promptly attended to, and
Goods shipped at the lowest rates Of
freight.
Orders for any amount filed and ship
ped immediately.
