Dress Goods at Cost

WYE intend from this day to the close of the
w season, TO offer entire stock of Sum-
mer Dress Goods at Prime New York cost.
Our present store being much too small for
our business, we are driven to this alternative
to make room for large Fall Stock. The as
sortment of Summer Dress Goods now offered
at cost, was bought under the most favorable
circumstances and in large lots, and is no
doubt the largest in the State to select FROM
consisting of oil the late styles in Flounced
Robes, Organdies, Tissues, Bareges, Lawns,
Silks. &C., DC.
We respectfully ask attention to the above
and also to the fact that all other Goods in
store, will be sold at reduced prices.
