With any Patent Cushion Manufactured
in the United States, at Prices that Defy
Competition.

INUR ADVERTISEMENT, WHICH AP-
IOPEARED IN the Commercial and Enquirer
of last week. is beginning to make rival Bill
their long ears to the public. They are EX-
TREMELY JEALOUS, and it hurts them very
much to think that any other firm should have
| the audacity to offer to the public a Billiard
Table that is 50 greatly superior to their own
| make. They nave heretofore had everything
their own way in charging high prices and
palming OIL an article that is worthless-in
| every way inferior to the celebrated Bruins
wick Bros, Stephani, Hart y Co.'s Tables,
which are universally praised throughout the
whole country, and as to mechanical execution.
finish, durability and low prices, our custo-
mers will testify. !.
Our competitors call us "humbugs," and
that we are audacious enough to advertise our
establishment as the "largest in the world"
and that our premises comprise quarter sec
tion in the rear end Of a store. As TO our being
humbugs, all we ask is for the public to be
their own judges, and call and inspect our es-
tablishment examine our goods and ask our
prices They speak OF our quarter section, but
do not state whether they mean quarter sec
tion Of land, or store room that large. We
would say one thing to the public, that we nave
one of the largest sales-rooms, as well as one
of the finest stocks OF Billiard Tables in the
Western country (1a different styles, and our
manufactactories are much larger than those
of our competitors who seem to think that there
is no room for parties who are engaged in the
same business.

ing deceived, as we should regret very much
to have the public think we had any thing to
do with parties in the trade who are so jealous
and show such uncalled for hatred to cOmpeti-
tors in the same business Their warnings to
the public are well understood, as they come in |
such vein that shows where the trouble lies
that our establishment is doing the business
and carrying OFF the palm in the Billiard Table |
lire. Our competitors blow their bugle partic- |
ularly on their absolute right to sell the Pheian
Il Collander Patent Combination Cushion. Now,
we would say again to the public tnat we have
not only the right to sell the above Combina
ton Cushion but we have the right to sell those
manufactured by ALL OTHER PARTIES,
and we are patentees Of the celebrated Ever
tasting Steel Plate Cushions. They accuse us
of falsehoods IN our advertisement II the
public knew these parties as well as we do,
they would see that they are the meanest and
most sneaking OF men,
There is a suit now pendngin in the United
States Court against the senior member Of our
would-be rivals for obtaining money under
false pretenses in advertising an unpatented
cushion as one of his invention. There is moth
ing too mean for them to do that will I'LL their
pockets with money.
We do not desire to waste words or attempt
to secure a trade by blowing Of our merits as
they do, but we do not want the public to be
deceived by such men, and when you want
ANYTHING in the BILLIARD TABE line don't
forget to call at the
