THE REASONS WHY
Au should Buy their G Groceries from
PetlIs d Bird,

Au should Buy their Groceries from
PettIs d Bird.
Below we give a number OF reasons
why people should buy their groceries
from Pettis & Bird:
lst.-- Because their stocks is the largest,
freshest and choicest in the city.
End. Because they sell goods of every
kind cheaper than any other house in the
city.
3rd.-Because they deliver goods more
promptly and in better shape than any
other house in the city.
4th.-Because they keep the most com.
plote stock, and persons desiring to
purchase different kinds of goods are not
compelled to 60 elsewhere because
Messrs. =. & 3. have not got the goods
they want.
These we consider substantial reasons
why our readers should buy their goods
