If-M-,While walking through the streets of
~ Curwensville, my attention was drawn
to a vast crowd of people passing and repassing,
each and all with an immense load of merchan-
disc; and there meeting acquaintance, made
the inquiry What does this mean" The answer
was Have you not been at the cheap Store of j.
ID. Thompson; who has just come from the East
with the largest stock of goods offered to the
community at lower figures than any other house
in the country. My advice to you is to call and
for yourself and then exclaim The half was
not told me.''
