beg leave to call the attention Of the peop
Of Coplah county TO the fact that they can saw
One Hundred Thousand D0flars
by buying their goods from the Great New
York House in this place and Crystal Springs.
You may think the above Is an advertising
scheme, but think can snow You from igqres
below how 1t can be done. In the hTst pace
there are five thousand families IN the county
that trade upon an average OF two hundred dot
| ars per family, which would amount to one ~
lion dollars per arnun that they s9end. tuin4
that those who have dealt VITA me are sati5i'sa
that Trey have bought from me It least Ten
per cent cheaper than they coaid have bought
else where. But I will put II down at i've per
cent, making a saving on one million dollars ot
fifty thousand dollars; and now propose to give
i've per cent off in cash on all bills that exceed
ten dollars, which viii amount TO d,tv thousand
more, making ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS SAVED. The question may arise in
the minds Of some, how this can be done? !
will explain, that buy goods In such quantities
cent, and my sales are probably larger than
those Of any two houses In this part of the c0un-
try. My sales last year were Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars, nfarIy quarter Of Million
Now II can sell this amount, with the same
trouble AMI expense that other houses sell fifty
thousand dollars worth, 1t ii reasonable to sup
pose that can sell much cheaper than my COM
petitOrs. or in other words, If 1t costs houses
selling fifty thousand dollars worth, four thons-
and dollars clerk lire, house rent, etc viii Oh Is
eight per cent Of the amount sold to cover ex-
penseS, while my exp )n5es are only two per ct,
leaving difference OF six per cent which my
customers get the benefit Of i now ask the PEG
pie who trade In Hazehurst AMI Crystal Springs
TO price goods at other houses and then come
and see me, and will not only sell them their
bills, but will discount any bill offered by other
houses, and give the customer in addition their
benet of the five per cent. ask you not only
to read the Dove, but each and every one of you
to bny your goods from and take home your
five per cent in cash and lock it.up for the bene-
fit of your wives and chlldren and should you do
this tor ten years you will find that you have
the taxable property in this county Is worth to-
day; nd should you ali put it in bank together
1t would give you more capital than any bank in
the South, and sufficient capital to control all
the cotton raised in this county. and make the
spnners pay your price for it. If you viii look
back to the 1rst year after the war and had such
an offer been made } on, ard had you accepted 1t,
you might to-day start a bank in this town with
one million, five hundred thousand dollars CAPT
tai. think then l have convinced all reasonable
persons that tine above can be accomplished. |
VIII also offer Inducements in dlsposing Of your
Cotton, as handled more cotton last season than
any other house on this road, and | cau there
fore make more liberal arrangements with fac
tors ID New Orleans than can be made by houses
shipping less. can also offer the highest cash
price for all cow hides, as need them to supply
my tan yard. VIII sell baggins and ties to those
who deal with me at New Orleans prices, with
freight added.
Come and see me. My goods are fresh.
Respectfully,
