We therefore content ourselves by simply an
nouncing that our business having increased

increasing our stock.
We shall have in store by the 10th ofSeptember,
stock of three hundred thousand dollars, $780,

that go to make complete assortment fora Store,
which we offer to the trade at competing prices
with any Jobbing House from New York to New
Orleans. All we ask come, and we will make
good the above assertion.
Merchants in North Carolina have the addition
al advantage, that by buying in the State, they
have no purchase tax to pay.
We also have retail department., where we
keep everything from common to the very best.
Also, have Carpet and Millinery department.

vTyHE COOKING STOVES manufactured at our
works in Greensboro, N. c., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav-
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove in the
market, and consequently will the longer with
stand heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States, while tits confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should piece get acci-
dentaly broken at any time, we can replace it at
the mere cost Of casting. Not simply because it
sic merits as an article of household economy, do
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. More
than ONE THOUSAND of these Stoves are now
in use, and among many others having them we
