New Leaf Turned Over!


TN REGARD to Silks, Robes, Fine Dress
Goods, Cloaks, Shawls, Embroideries &c.
we offer an immense stock, all marked in plain
figures at the actual cash standard value. No
"fancy prices put on, to be taken off accord
ing to the customers skill in glowing" We
have ''blazed the way' and showed the public
that a one price business can be done in this
market, and we doubt not our ability to show
them that all luxurious fabrics can be sold re-
ally cheap, and there is no actual necessity for
those who buy for cash paying for Shawls,
Silks, Robes, Cloaks, &c more than their value.
Customers are invited TO inspect our Stock
of the above fabrics critically as to quality and
prices. Purchasers quote daily that our pric-
es for Cloaks, Robes &c. are two profits less
than some of the stores who keep bills. OF
course it cannot be expected where bills are
kept that goods can be sold so cheap as at cash
stores; nevertheless, two profits above thecash
value renders Injurious fabrics very dear.
New supplies from the North and East daily.
| In future it will be understood that we sell
Silks, Robes, Fine Dress Goods, Cloaks, En-
broideries, and other Luxurious fabrics" all
remarkably cheap and purchasers may come
with the assurance that bargains in reality
may be had. We expect to move large lots at
small advance.
