time to grow shop-worn. they turned over
rapidly, purchased at bottom prices, this
house can offer its patrons rare bargains in
clothing and furnishing goods Of all descrip-
tions. There is no more genial man in Au-
gusta to deal with than Storer, and his Gus
toners can rely upon his representations
every time.
