viii be a special feature with us this
season, as our motto If doing business
is small profits andqnick sales. An ex.
animation Of our stock and prices will
surprise and delight you, as low prices
have a charm for all intending pur.

But please bear in mind we offer the
best for the lowest price, because we ap.

any ways near the business that we are,
where is one that has not got an expense
Of from $1,000 to $1,000 a year IA good
yearly profit for two partners,) We are
not under such an enormous expense Of
rent and clerks, and give the benefit
thereof to our patrons. Polite atten-
ton is another great scheme Of ours; we
like to be treated well ourselves, and
having learned the golden rule in our
school days, we have put It into prac.
tice in our business, 10 the manifest sat
isfaction Of friends and patrons, and
consequent profit TO ourselves; dnd a
child will receive the same considera-
ton as the experienced and shrewd buy.

energies to accomplish this end; remem-
Der We have no sympathy with bats,
but will sell honest goods at honest
prices. An investigation Of our goods,
prices, and method Of doing business,
will lead you to the conclusion that our
store is the place to do your trading,
