M. PRICE, Chairman.
L. II. WAsHBURN, Secretary.
~ Vicksburg and Port Hudson having
fallen, the price of sugar has not yet been
affected, but that or some other cause has
certainly produced very great decline in
-four. We know this from the fact that j.
A. BISHOP is selling Moline Flour at Two
Dollars and twenty cents per one hundred
pounds. At former high prices he was sell.
ing very large amount of this -four, and at
the present figures his sales, without doubt,
will be doubled. 1t is acknowledged on all
hands that the Moline Winter Wheat Fbur
is fully equal to any of the st. Louis fancy
brands of -four, and great deal cheaper.
Their Xxx -four made of Spring and Winter
Wheat, is far superior to any Spring Wheat
-four, and is generally considered superior to
any of the ordinary country mill brands Of
Winter Wheat flour.
BISHOP not only sells the Moline Flour Qfor
which he has the exclusive agency very
low, but has certainly demonstrated that he
can give you more goods, and good goods, for
the dollar than you can get in any other
grocery house in Muscatine. His stock is
always very large, and buyers will be aston
ished to find how low he is selling groceries.
You who want to buy groceries cheap, either
at wholesale or retail, will find Bishops es.
adjustment nearly opposite the State Bank.
