fresh stock of family groceries, he opened "a
store in Mercur Block, late last sping. His
old customers, and many new ones, were not
slow in finding him out, and his establishment
now presents the appearance of beehive.
He buys for cash, and never keeps inferior
goods; is frank and honest in his dealings, so
that the poorest child in town is treated with
the same respect and courtesy, and receives
the same quality of goods that the richest man
would. 1t is no wonder that such dealer
is always crowded with customers.
