Having Just returned from New York and
Philadelphia, where they, have been for
two weeks past, selecting goods for this
market, are now fully prepared TO sup
ply the millions with all the new and
fashionable goods to be found in the mar
kets. Their stock has been selected with
great care, and with especial reference to
the wants of their trade. The styles are
beautiful beyond description, the fabric
excellent. and the prices so low, that to
reduce them, would be equivalent to Civ
ing them away.
Persons can only get an idea of the
beauty aud magnitude of this immense
stock of goods by seeing it for themselves.
They are fully alive to the fact that goods
must be sold at low prices to command
the.attention Of cash buyers and having
determined to sell goods for cash only, will
always be found at the very bottom in
prices. They ask persons desiring to pur-
chase Spring goods to give their stock
careful examination; and thereby consult
their own interest.
All the new and beautiful styles in
Prints, Lawns, Brocdaed Damasas, Plain
and figured Delains, Buntings, Cashmere:
in all the desirable eolors, Plain and Bro
eaded Silks and Satins, together witt
every other new and desirable class o
dress goods. In staple goods they lea'
all other houses in goods, fabricks, ant
low prices, as they ever have done. Thei
stock of Carpets, of all grades is nov
quite complete, and SO low in price tina
any one can afford to have this luxury.
Don't fail to call and examine thei
goods before making your purchases. Re
