The Merchants and Manufacturers

tne largest anu most popular JcWcliy associ-
alton in the United States. The business isl
and always has been conducted in the most
candid and honorable manner. Our rapidly
increasing trade is sure guarantee Of thel
appreciation of our patrons for this method
Of obtaining rich, elegant and costly goods.
The sudden stagnation of trade in Europe,
owing to the late German war, and recent
disastrous financial crisis in Europe, has
caused the failure of q large number of jew
elry houses in London and Paris, obliging
them to sell their goods at q great sacrifice in
some instances less than one-third the cost OF
manufacturing. We have lately purchased
very largely of these Bankrupt Goods, ut such
extremely low prices that we can afford to
send away Finer Goods and give better chan
ces to draw the most valuable prizes than any
other establishment doing d similar business
OUR AIM Is TO PLEASE, and we respect
fully solicit your patronage, as we are conf
dent of giving the utmost satisfaction. Du-
ring the past year we have forwarded a num-
her of the most valuable prizes to all parts Of
the country. Those who patronize US will re-
ceive the full value of their money, as no ar
ticle on our list is worth less than One Dollar,
retail, and there are no Blanks. Parties deal
ing with us may depend on having prompt re-
turns, and the article drawn will be Immediate
