Pettis & Bird.
Below we give a number OF reasons
why people should buy their groceries
from Pettis & Bird:
lsr,--Because their stocks Is the largest,
freshest and choicest in tho city.
End. Because they sell goods OF every
sind cheaper than any other bousc in the
city.
jrd.-.B Because they deliver goods more
promptly and In better shape than any
other house in the city.
ith.-Becausc they keep the most conf
piete stock, and persons desiring to
purchase litlcrent kinds OF goods are not
compelled to 90 elsewhere because
Messrs. Z. Il B. have not get the goods
they want
These we consider substantial reasons
why our readers should buy their goods
