attacking it without further provoca

IRIEND, / ask you to give this advertise.
L ment a careful perusal, q candid thought,
and see il facts are not made sufficiently
interest, as we'll as the general public inter
est, to shun the class Of individuals travel
ing around the country soliciting orders
You undoubtedly think l have an object in
Publishing this proclamation have, and !
ask your pardon for my boldness at this time
but you will find my motive is rs much tor
your own Interest as it is for mine. Can you
afford to purchase a Monument, Tablet or
GIavestone, to mark the last resting place Of
your dear departed friend, from travelling
man who is not practical workman, when
YOU have plenty of opportunities to visit
some marble shops in your vicinity Can
this travelling nuisance sell as cheap or
cheaper than q fair workman can at his own
workshop or salesroom, attending to his
work every day, without any travelling ex-
penses J Can you by small sample Of
stone and pictures generally carried by those
travelling men, see how Monument. Tab
let. or Headstone will look when completed!
Can you afford your farm produce, goods,
or manufactures, as cheap travelling yourself
or hiring some man to travel around the
country, as you could by staying at honor
Any man who has to travel to sell his goods,
must either furnish cheaper goods, OF charge
more for them, than the man who can sell
his goods at home while attending to his
manufacture. I do not claim to be a God
send, trying to benefit mankind at nv ex-
pense but, l claim you can save money,
give yourself better satisfaction by visiting q
marble shop, where honesty is respected,
and looking over fair assortment Of Gem
etery Work, than you can in any other way.
Consult yonr own ability and feelings; and
when the time is set in your own mind that
you are ready to purchase some nensento fo'
your dear departed one, ask you to come ana
examine my Stock. Work, and Prices, before
purchasing. If you find after looking my
property, you can do better at some other
shop, providing you are sure of getting the
same quality Of stock and work, then will
consider it your duty to purchase where you
can get the best for the least money.
In conclusion will say that below give
you few names of we'll known respectable
citizens Of your surrounding for reference Of
fair dealing; these gentlemen, with many
more, which space will not allow me to pub.
lish, have had my work. Hoping have
uttered no remarks unworthy Of truth and
manliness in the above statement; also,
asking your pardon for intruding on your

fore you in this way,
