worthless for any In fact hardly of the goods
extensively advertised cheap really so. being
made to sell and not Good articles always cost
to make than inferior ones. 1t is fact, howev
err that good goods being sold very cheap and
that the cost of manufacture of most kinds of goods is
very much less than formerly The same watch offer

at $20 The kind and quality of knives offer at

short time since good black walnut eight day clock
could not be bought less than So
Let US look at another matter. Is it not probable
that the best place to buy goods Of particular kind
is of man who knows the business who is judge OF
the goods he buys and SELLS who has given his whole
time and attention for years to his business and whose
reputation and good name dependent upon the
quality of his goods and the fairness of his prices?
