THE PLACE TO BUY.

The purchase, by the Board of Trustees
of the charitable institutions Of the State,
Of over three thousand dollars worth Of
goods from Leavenworth merchants few
days ago, calls 10 mind the fact, tina, all the
supplies for our charitable State institu-
tons, during The present year, beginning
June LIST, have been purchased in Leaven-
worth, because they could be bought here
cheaper than anywhere else. The irus.
tees had proposals from St. Joseph, St.
Louis, Kansas City, and other places. and
found that they could purchase TO better
advantage at Leavenworth than at any 9TH
er point and consequently have purchased
of our merchants all the supplies needed By
all the charitable institutions Of the State
including bedding, furniture, dry goods
provisions and groceries. The supplies fol
. these institutions, were purchased last veal
at Kansas City, and the advantages Of
LeavenwoIth over that place as purchas
ing point may be seen in the fact that thu
table expenses Of the Insane Asylum, have
been two cents and seven mills per capits
less this year than last-resulting in gros
saving to The State, in this one department o
one institution, of our eighteen hundrse
dollars.
These are facts which speak for them
selves. and dealers throughout the Stat,
will ready perceive that if Leavenwortl
can sell cheaper than rival town., to GU
State institutions, she can offer equally ad
vantageous terms to country merchants.
