Weasiy and Sickly Persons.

Many persons who are weak and
sickIy at this season of the year are at
loss to know what will restore their
health. 1t has lately been found by
experience that the use of SPEER's
Port Grape Wine when taken in mod
crate doses is one of the best restora-
tives known. Physicians, clergymen
and temperance advocates should en-
courage the use of the Port Grape
Wine, and thus aid the cause of tempe
rance and moderation. 1t is especially
recommended to families for its purity,
exquisite flavor and healthy properties.
Medical men certify to its valuable
medicinal powers. Mr.. Speer has been
for years engaged in preparing and
perfecting this wine, and requires four
years process before it is fit for market.

lent for females to use, especially for
those with nursing infants.

IMPORTANT
WOOL GROWERS.

To supply a steady growing demand for
Combing and Delaine Wool, and also making
it more profitable for the grower, we have a
few suggestions to offer to those who are en-
gagged in the production of this important sta
Pile The wants of the times demand great
er proportion of Combirs and Delaine woods;
one of the chief causes Of the low prices of
fine wool, is the over production of this
grade; at least ole-half of the farmers OF Ohio
should grow the COmbing and Delaine wools,
to meet the Increasing demand of these woods
and supply :he machinery lately put in opera
ton in the United States. Formerly manu-
factufers depended almost entirely on their
supply from abroad at high prices in gold.
We propose to encourage the production of
these woods at home, by paying liberal prices
for these grades. To satisfy you that these
grades are in demand, we annex a few certi-
fcates from those of whom We have bought
this season:
This is to certify that Mr.. Somers paid me
81 cents per pound for my Combing and De-
laine Wool this serson.
WIN. ANDERSON,
Homework, Columbiana county, o.
hereby certify that L. Somers paid me 55
cents per pound for my Combing wool for the
season of 1875 HURAM RUFF,
Homework, o.
take pleasure in certifying that Mr.. Son.
ers paid me 55 cents per pound for my Comb
ing wool for the season OF 1875.
JESSE Brooks, Homework, 0.
D. s. Bowman and Abraham Fifer certify
That Mr.. Somers paid US 81 cents per pound
for our Long wool this season.
North Georgetown, Ohio.
On demand, we will furnish reference to
hundreds of parties of whom we have bought
wool this season at the above prices. The
highest grades of Combing and Delaine woods
are produced by cross of a Lincolnshire with
the Merino This cross produces an animal
that natures young and attains a large size,
valuable for mutton, and yields large fleeces,
weighing from seven to nine pounds; while
the cross with the mongrel long wool breeds
usually brought into this country, produce on
ly the cheaper grades, and very much of it too
tender and unfit for Combing purposes.
Having business relations with parties who
are engaged in the importation and breeding
of Thoroughbred Lincolnshires, which gives
us more than ordinary facilities for furnishing
these sheep to farmers, which we propose to
do, at small advance over cost, with the I'M
derstanding that we are to have, at the high
est market price, the Combing and Delaine
wool produced with the cross from sheep we
furnish, for the period of three years. We
are prepared to furnish at once, any number
of Lincolnshire Rams wanted.
Any further information cheerfully given on
application to us at ST. Clairsville, Belmont
county, Ohio. SOMERS & CLOSE.

ONE PRICE PLAN.

When merchant does business on the One
Price, cash on delivery plan, he must have
that price popular one, and to be popular, it
must be responsible. An appeal for cash on
delivery is made directly to the purse, and be-
fore man submits to that rule, he naturally
weighs the cost to the last fraction. Shrewd
business men know that the sharpest bargains
are made for cash down, and every man e1-
poets to pay the lowest possible price for an
article, when buying it in this way; and he
has right to demand it. Now, therefore, the
One Price, cash on delivery system, as prac-
ticed at II. FRANKS Palace Clothing Hall,
IS Twelfth street, Wheeling, is to be prefer
red to all others, if il embraces the advantage
in prices which the purchaser naturally looks
for, and when it is based upon liberal princi
Piles and small profits, is certain to meet with
a flattering recognition. This way of doing
business had been frequently attempted by
merchants before he adopted it without sue
cess; simply, because they did not try to make
a cash purchase more advantageous to the GUS
toner, than one on credit. We made it an
inducement for people to buy our goods at
One Price, by selling them at the very lowest
figures, being satisfied with small profit, and
we found, as we expected, that the people
preferred to buy goods in this way, if the
claims of cash customer for close purchase
were onty recognized. In spite of predictions
to the contrary from many respectable quar-
tiers, our motto Of cash on delivery, on the
basis of small profits, is successful, and is now
firmly established in our business. Thus, we
have no bad accounts in our books, and the cash
purchaser does not pay for the losses incurred
through non paying customers. In this way
we are enabled to dispose of our goods at ex-
tremely low figures, and we can assert, with
out fear of successful contradiction, that our
prices are quite as low as those named at
wholesale. In return for these advantages
which we offer, we insist on leash on delive-
ry" every time. Remember this and the Pal
ace One-Price Clothing. Hall of Fl. FRANK
