TSsA CARD CHRIS REISSNER, Manufactu-
SE| rer and Dealer In Stoves, Tin Ware &c sc ,
No: " 9TH street, between q and III takes this
method OF informing the citizens of Washington and
vicinity and the PUBLIC in general, that, in conSe-
quence OF information having reac he'd him that false
REPRESENTATIONS have been made by A certain sfa1e
merchant concerning his method Of doing business,
he deems II his duty, in Justice to himself to state
that ne does not make his tin preserving out of
loaded or roofing tin; but, the contrary he manu-
lectures them out of the very best quality of tin,
made fer that purpose, and he defes any manufactu
in this city to produce better work or material
IN his li1e OF trade In the next place. he desires to
infOIm the public that the reason why he can sell
his goods cheaper than Others is-not a. said mer-
chant says, that he does not pay for his material
flor that Is false Sbut the true reason because Mr.
RElsSNER works hard himself, as he has done for
the past 10 and has learned by experience that
the only way a man can produce superior work at
cheap rates and then make fair profit to not only
superiniend, but lay hold and take a hand himself
and not lay around with hands in pockets, living
beyond his income, as many others do, and then
charge fabulous prices TO keep up the style. In
conclusion, ne respectfully invites all in want of
anything in his line to compare his work material
and prices with those Of any O,her manufacturer i'm
the city, and be convinced for themselves of the
ruthfuness OF his statements, said merchants false
and malicious iabrications to the contrary nOtwith
