The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1884-10-04
Must and Shall be Sold.

would hereby notify the San Anto-
MO public that l have concluded to go
out Of the merchandising business and
to turn my attention to the loan Office
department exclusively. | know that
in order to accomplish this | will have
to sacrifice my stock, and yet my loss on
cost will not be so great as many might
think, as have obtained a large portion
of my goods from merchants who were on
the brink of ruin and were obliged In
many cases to sell Mt 30 cents on the dol
lar. | am determined to do as stated
above and you should not forget that
Emerson keeps great variety OF goods
and that yon can get anything in the
below described list OF articles at your
own price. hope by recognizing the
value of money andby continually keep
ing my object In view (0f selling QUIT to
be enabled by November l, 1884, to close
out the remnant In one lot to some
dealer. Show cases, counters and
shelving will be for sale us soon as we
can clear them OF goods. II Ia needless
to itemize all the articles we have In
stock, but among other things we would
mention our line of pocket cutlery. We
will give you prices on pocket knives
from 10 to Zoe; scissors, from 10 to 300
steal goods, such as mouth harps, Jews
harps, accordeOns, guitars, banjos, vio-
Inns and strings, and pieces for repairs
A full line OF clocks, including Seth
Thomas, Waterbury and New Haven
manufacture. Pistol and gun depart
ment never more complete, and many
Colts and Smith Il Wesson pistols at
prices that will surprise you; full line
of cartridges and shot gun supplies. A
fine line OF opera and field glasses, and
telescopes. About a year ago started
a line of cheap and staple articles In
hardware; will close out the same In
job lots or Mt retail, or sell the entire
line as purchaser desires. In watches,
diamonds and fine jewelry, will not go
into details, but will suffice 1t to say that
have as fine line Ms any In the loan
business In Texas, and / will give as
close figures ms any New York auction
house could give. have line of new
and second hand clothing that can be
bought at bottom prices. A large pro-
portion of the clothing Is new or as
good as new, and would mention that
have nine large packing cases Of first
class Overcoats that were purchased
during the hot summer months, and we
did not pay high prices for them, you
bet. 1t will soon be cold weather,
call and see us a little in advance, as
first pick will be desirable as to quality
and fit. 1t is useless to go into any
further details, as the people can readily
understand the character Of our bust
ness, and that there are thousands OF
unfortunate people who come to Texas
to make the big fortune In sheep, cattle
or farming, who find that the streets of
Texas cities are not paved with gold, or
her prairies covered with geese feathers,
and they finally have to go to see their
uncle to get money to live on. The pub
lie can easily believe that these same
people who have lived In such oircum-
stances Of comfort did purchase good
and valuable articles Of personal prop
erty. l would simply say to all those
who doubt 1t that II they will call at
my store will soon convince them to
the contrary. j. M. EMERSON.
