SPECIAL NOTICE.

Our friends, when visiting Shreve-
port to make their purchases of
Wiuter Goods, would do themselves
injustice as we'll as injury, were they
to neglect visiting the oldest Dry
Goods House, that of RAPHAEL
KAHN & Co., whose stock is now
complete in all departments.
These gentlemen now offer to the
inspection Of the public the largest
and finest stock ever seen in this
section, consisting of DRY GOODS,
Fancy Goods, CIoaks, Carpets, Mat
tings and Rugs.
Also, a full stock of Fine and cheap
CLOTHING, Gents furnishing Goods,
Boots, Shoes and Hats, which can
not fail to please everyone.
All their goods are marked down
to hard time prices. A call on this
Old Reliable House will convince
every one that they can get better
value for their money at Kahn's
than anywhere in Shreveport.
