ovster dealers as TO who does and who
does not sell fresh opened oysters, as
noticed by All article signed by a num-
Der of oysters dealers, as am in the
oyster business and have been for a
number OF years, | would resp ctfully
inform the public that receive my
oysters daily from Crisfeld and other
places in the shell. The public in or
der to be sure OF getting fresh opened
oysters should call at Gardner's, cor.
7th and Shipley streets, and have their
oysters opened per order, as We are
continually opening oysters from 7 a.
IN. to II p. IN. daily, Sunday excepteD
at rs cts. per quart, solid measure, and
cleanly opened wish also to inform
the public that have no one kettling
oysters for me.
The public would do well to call on
me and leave their orders and avoid
the risk Of buying poor oysters FROM
parties who peddle them around in ket
ties We deliver oysters to all parts of
the city at shsrt notice.
