Never before was there as large stock of
goods in Middletown, as now. Our merchants
have their stock completed for ths fall and winter
trade, and as general thing have better class
OF goods than they formerly kept. Goods can
he sought rs low here as in the city, and many
articles lower. This the people are finding out,
and daily we notice strangers in town, shopping.
Let everybody, especially those who are in the
habit OF going to the city, spending as much for
car-fare and express charges, as would buy
silk dress in Middetown, give our merchants II
cal, and they will be astonshed at the fine stock
and low prices. Naudain and Hanson Bros.
