In commencing our New Mode of

E. Smith & Co.,

Have alwas been famous for attracting crowded
houses. The great mass OF the people are
found purchasing at their establishment. You
can always find your friends and neighbors
there, and II neighbor gets lost, ten chances
to one you will find him at Smiths trying on
boots:-in fact every lady OF any account goes
to Smiths for Boots, Shoes and Caters.
Your money we must have, and we shurely
will take 1t from you IL you enter our DOORS
You can't keep it il your enter our emporium.
The temptation we hold out is too great: the
Money will come.
No matter what others sell goods for, it is
no criterian for US to go by. We are nearly
one hundred per cent below every tbeing else
IN the market, and are rowing upthe whole
Boot and Shoe fraternity and expect soon to
land on the shores OF Cal-eoo-tus Bay.
