LEVY BROS.
We have no hesitation in recommending this
favorite Richnond house whose advertisement
appears in another column. Years of fair deal
ing have given it an enviable reputation, art
they would not do violence to that reputation
by allowing any but the best quality of goods t.

those quoted in their advertisement. to assure
all who may deal with them, that they viii
get their moneys worth. Don't overlook
the old reliable Richmond house in making
your Christmas purchases.
