we are prepared to announce TO our num-

! forwarded larger orders than ever be-

The year 1850 therefore begins with
fattcring prospects for farlucrs. mechaR-
les and all other "iaburerS alike. Tho
financial pulse OF the country.is steadily
improving and having returned almost
to II hard money basis, we shall aradt-
ally but surely recover our former pres
ti2e and the SO long declining prosperity
OF our beautiful Southern land. Being
firmly impressed with the fOrc-shadow-

luade arrangements commensurate with
the demands they will disclose.
Our Agent in New York Is already In
receipt q! our Instructions directing him
To he on the alert for every sale and fail

tho brink of bankruptcy, 50 that he, with
cash in hand may take in every bargain
ard TINS enable us during the present
year not only to increase our own re-
sources, but to become also Il never
changing source Of assistaucs to our
friends by selling them goods far below
the wholesale market Of New York.
1t WAS the credit system that paralyzed
oar industries in the past and caused Ed
many interests to dr0up and witllcr while
every article needed Tor fuMiIy consuinlp-

demands greater than the sources OF sup

make the supply larger than the demand
and consequently goods fall to bottom
prices when this rule prevails.
We pay cash for all our goods before
they leave The place bought from. Hence

1t Is therefore quite easy for us I'D Sell
