Must and Shall be Sold.

would hereby notify the San Anto-
MO public that / have concluded to 90
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 large portion
ofmy 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 you can get anything in the
below described list of articles at your
own price. hope by recognizing the
value of money and by continually Keep
ing my object in view (of selling out to
be enabled by November /, 1881, to close
out the remnant In one lot to some
dealer. Show cases, counters and
shelving will be for sale as soon as we
can clear them OF goods. 1t is 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 30c
per pair. We have line of small mu-
sioal 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 year ago | started
line Of cheap and staple articles in
hardware; | will close out the same in
job lots or at retail, or sell the entire
line as purchaser desires. In watches,
diamonds and fine jewelry, | will not go
into details, but will suffice ii to say that
| have as fine line as any in the loan
business in Texas, and | will give as
close figures as any New York auction
house could give. | have line of new
and second hand clothing that can be
bought Mt 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 oyerooats that were purchased
during the hot summer months, and we
did not pay high prices for them, you
bet; IL VIII soon be cold weather,
and 1t will pay you to
call and see us a little in advance. as
first pick will be desirable as to quality
and fit.. II is useless to go into any
further details, as the people can readily
understand the character of our busf-
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 prairles covered with geese feathers,
and they finally have to go to see theft
uncle to get money to live on. The pub
lie can easily believe that these same
people who have lived In such circum-
stances OF comfort did purchase good
and valuable articles OF personal prop
erty. would simply say TO all those
who doubt it that II they will call at
my store | will soon convince them to
the contrary. J. NJ. EMERSON,
II soledad ST., San Antonio, Tex.
