WATERBURY, CONN.
 Our trade from the people of Litchfeld and vicinity has been very large the past ten years, but of late, is has grown to such huge propor- tiuns that we desire to address few words to our patrons in that locality, through the columns uf tie Enquirer, that they may know what We are
 doing, and intend to do, ill the way of merchan- dizins, the present season; and at the same lime to express Onr grateful thanks for the gen. eroas patronage heretofore extended to us With the hope on our part, that this same confidence, pleasant feeling. and liberal patronage, may be continued indefinitely, we shall not approach Vou at this time, any other time, with high sounding words, laudatlng ill extavagant an- guage our goods, We regard such system Of advertising predudicial to the interest of the advertiser, to say nothing about Outraging truth. Our object Is simply to call your attention, in few brief. modest words. to some of our goods, af which st this season of the year every family is in want. With this introduction. We proceed to invite you to apersonal examination of our Carpet Department.

At this season of the year. when the birds begin to sing their earliest ard sweetest notes, and the grass is struggling for pls nd m m fa Is all others, to carefully look over the parlOr and i. cOZy sitting room. preparatory to the 1ntroduc- ! ton of new and modern carpets, and after se- l riOusly considering the kind wanted and about i the price yeu wish to Day, we should be pleased
