A CARD.

On the 17th day of September last, op. ened a store in Prescott, and in my first announcement to the public, after stating
 that had purchased my goods in the cheap.
 est markets in the U. S., New York and Boston, said that provided I received a 1 liberal patronage from the public, would < II my goods at very moderate profit. Liberal was DO name for the patronage at once received. My small store was often crowded with customers. The first attempt in the history of Prescott to supply her with goods direct from headquarters, instead of from San Francisco. which is and will for a long time be dependent upon the East for rhe manufactured goods, showed conclusive
 ly that hepuolic here had slight prejudice
 gainst being taxed on nearly every article
 hey required for their daily use by paying
 reight to San Francisco, eos: of warehousing,
 lauling, city taxation and the modest profit
 of a San Francisco joober. Satisfied my
 self that my experiment was success, and
 what the public required. started at once
 pack to purchase stock large enough to meet the wants of the Community, And now after more thorough knowledge of the goods demanded here gained by six months contret with the public I start to-
 morrow for the East to visit her leading
 markets and take advantage of the low prices there prevailing to purchase goods for this market, I leave my business in the charge of my cousin, Mr. Gorham A. Bray. assisted by Frank Murphy, from whrm nave the greatest confidence, that the pubic
 will receive honest. fair and courteous treat ment during my absence.
 In inviting a continuance of the extraord- mary patronage which tho public have so generously extended to nay efforts f0 bring Ill kinds of manufactured goods to reason .ble prices. so that the new conner might snt on his arrival immagine that the war was not just over, and thathe was transported .s Snssrr 5 camp of the 1864 pattern, or the -'oid timers" occasional dream of fine saine situation. have to say that my stock 1 IS large and that arrivals will soon make if ! complete: and that my best efforts during my absence shall be given to take snch advantage of the great competitor which inc extreine depression Easthas caused. to secure s stock of goods adapted to this market and | sucn prices as will never cause a sigh of re- gret from any one composing the purchasing public at tho sudden demise of Mir. High | Free, which joyful event occurred on the | 18th of December last.
 The above is merely preliminary to the | he sum and substance of this card, which | s published by me for the purpose of re- urnlng my warinest and most sincere thanks D the public of Preeeott, the military com nnnity at Fort Whipple and Verde, resi- Tents of the Valleys and Mining Camm round Prescott, and the many from other ountiess especially Mohsva and Maricopa. rho have sent to or called at my store to 'crchase.
