THE
Mystery Solved !

1t has always been the great question Ct
our many patrons why we can sell Dr. end
Fancy Goods lower than our compel tors of
this city, and also compete with any house
in New England We will enlighten our Gu
toners by this explanation We are assooi-
ated with two active houses that are doing
business in large manufacturing cities,
namely,
j. ". PITCHER. of LeWiStOn.
+. ". UINSLOW. OF laurence.
These parties provide us with LARGE
! QUANTITIES of Goods which they pro-
cure direct from the MILLS, therefore the
reader can readily see that as we procure
the LARGEST PORTION of our Stock from
MANUFAC URERs, we avoid the AGtNT's
and JOB8ER'S Commission
We are also CONSTANTLY in the West
ern Markets picking up SPECIAL JOBS
and CHOICE STYLES, and being connected
with the above houses. enables us to han
die larg rquantities Of Go DDS than any re-
tail house in the state.
