In inviting attention to tho card of
Messrs. Cushings & Bailey, booksellers
md stationers of Baltimore, we would
note especially two considerations: the
increased Importance of Baltimore rs
market, md the large facilities of this
particular house. The trade of Balti-
more with the South has increased more
any other city, and the claim Of its mer-
chants and manufacturers that they can
sell goods cheaper than they can be
bought elsewhere, finds now substantial
proof in the large orders they arc con-
stantly receiving from every portion of
the South. The house of Cushings e
Bailey was established i'll 1911, and it
has been Characteristic feature of their
manner of trading that they have invn-
riably given the buyer who orders his
res by mail the same superior ad-
vantages he could have secured in per-
son. Employing large capital in their
business, they combine the utmost ell
terprise with the most elevated integrity.
For Mrther particulars we refer to their
advertisement.
