consider it all important that something new should
be started ia Portland the first of the year, and in
view of certain existing facts, have to the de-
cided conclusion that they would sell goods for cash
only after tue first day OF January, 1868. Having
had encouragement from individuals that always
pay the cash their goods that such store is very
much needed in Port and, and that by little extra
effort part to buy goods low (which we ieel
confident we can by paying the cash for them,-that
we should be enabled to live, besides being benefit
to all who carry the cash in their pockets buy their
dinners. As We are taking the lead in this matter
we expect aud firmly believe that others will soon
follow, and soon the system of certain eminent
physician of this city will be true of us ALL viz-T
never eat anything until know it is paid for"
We solicit the continued iavois OF our present pat
rons, and wish all who would buy their goods low to
give us CALL feeling confident that can please
them in every respect, and enable them to go on
their way rejoiced that Petieng, Fullum & CO. are
