to the people Of Yankton particularly, and to his many
friends throughout Dakota and Nebraska, for the generous
patronage which has been bestowed upon the late firm OF

desires to call the attention Of these friends and. that OF
the people generally to the enlarged facilities, more aexteE-
sive assortment and more commodious rooms, which the late
firm had provided and which he, as the successor of Dudley
& Hawley, now possesses.
In the line of the Hardware trade, and in the manufacture
of Tin, Copper and Sheet Iron Ware, he claims to have an es-
tablishnent equal in all respects to anything in the north
west, occupying three grand rooms, each 25x10O feet in ex-
tent. .s a
In the future, by constant application to business, he hopes
to see the Hardware trade of the region which is naturally trib-
