CuriositIes of Advertising.

A competitor advertised last week that "to 1 inaugurate'' something or another and to l show his appreciation of the very liberal patronage" received, he would sell goods tat 1 lower prices than any store in New Haven, |" and he proceeded to give examples. Among these was WiIIiams7iIle cotton at ten cents,
 called special bargain. Now, we have been selling that very good make of cotton for the l last month or more at loo and not calling it 8 special bargain either. Lately, finding we could buy it for less we put the price at 1-2 cents and still said nothing about it. deal CT who adVertises his sentire stock at lower
 prices than any store m New Haven" must have poor opinion of the in-
 telligence of New Haven people. We Sup-
 pose the other Especial bargains" were of the
 same kind as the WilEamsville. Anyway 1t
 would be interesting if some customer
 would compare, for instance, the Sc cam
 brics with ours at 61c, or the 200 cretonnes with ours at 18c, or the 4c prints with ours at 31c, or. in short, any of these Especial bar gains" with the goods we are selling every day ct the same ar less prices. We might not be cheapest tu every instance, tnaG we can't be sure of, but we are not afraid of the comparison and would like some customers to try.
