AND VICINITY.

AND VICINITY.
l feel under great obligations for the liberal
patronage extended to me since / commenced
business in this place. an entire stranger. and
heartily return my most humble thanks fol-, the
many tavors shown me. I have decided + to
make ICE CREAM FOR Thirty GENTS
PER QUART, put up in paper, or $l.O per
gallon, packed in ice and sent to all parts OF the
made to order. How can it be done2 lst, l
have secured a low rent; I'd, pay cash for my
goods 3D. buy the best of cream at reduced
price; 4th, do away with hiring hands; 9th, make
the cream myself; Oh, am determined to give
full satisfaction. Picnics and Sunday schools

ICE CREAM.

My Ice Cream Mandatory. one Of the lsrg-
eat in Virginia, still continues to supply private
customers, Sunday schools, excursions, picnics,
fairs, festivals and associations, as we'll % the
trade, with that SUPERIOR CREAM that has
made a name in this community, and is known
everywhere as BRENGLE'S ICE CREAM. /
could easily reduce its price by lowering its quail.
Ingredients, cannot be furnished at less price
than l serve it. OF course, could grade my
cream by tho price," but my cream would lose
the good name that years OF fair dealing have
won for it. l ask that persons abroad ordering
"Brengle's Cream" from third parties will as.
sure themselves that the cream sent is certainly
from my establishment. warrant my cream,
and do not wish that inferior cream, sent out as
mine, may injure its reputation. 1t is my aim
to furnish the BEST CREAM IN AMERICA,
and my customers are satisfied that do so.
