We buy our Goods at Auction Houses and who
prices uctuate, and will mark the steady downward
tendency sale after sale and day after day straight
capital chances to underquote the regular market
by at least 20 to IS per cent and to sell to the pub
lie, and to men to the retail at less than the case
price at the mill.
AN IMPORTER. HARD UP,
will offer goods at cost to raise money, but when
Note is Que tomorrow and money must be had, he
tambles his goods into the auction rooms where
THEY MUST co.
We buy them at nearly oar oes,a Price.
Money is tip-top thing, but brains is the Master.
WE BUY OUR GOODS CHEAP
and our profits are already saved and made, giving
us double the advantage OF selling at prices that
MUST CRUSH THE OPPOSITION,
who will at once start cry that goods are so
len, or that we are about to fail getting reputa
ton for u.s. without the expense of advertising-so
by iudicous management we may easily turn the
cnemys guns upon his retreating line or put him
in harness upon double daty.
To-day Wooden Mill stops, tomorrow their
goods will be displayed in the auction room and
sold for half its value. Next day Hosiery house
fails, their stock goes to the place and sold at
an immense sacrifice. So day after day, through a
dozen auction houses. these bursting merchants and
these moonshne millionaires go crushing through
at prices that bewilder both buyer and seller, only
to prove that in this advanced age OF stubborn and
edge cut, and to take advantage OF every chance
these giant engines afford.
WE DO NOT PRETEND,
nor do wish to lead the public to believe, that
we keep full OF regular assortment OF goods; we
buy everything at auction if we can get it below its
value, without regard to getting up an assortment
but what we have got will be sold at astonishingly
low prices.
Our present stock consists principally Of
Gentemen's Undergarments,
Clothing, Cassimeres, Cloths. Cassinets, Hats and
Caps, Notions, and all kinds of Boots and
Shoes, Ladies' Shawls a large
assortment of Furs,
principally misses and childrens'.
OUR AUCTION SALES will continue as heretofore,
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, to commence at
