until thirty-tive thousand dollars worth

that there must be a terrible slaughter
of prices to effect it. and wonderful
nerve to face the severe loss which must
necessarily follow. If the prices found
in their locals which appear in this paper
are a criterion, surely this enterprising
firm have the nerve, as the knife seems
to have gone in deep. We commend all
of our readers in want of goods in their
line to give them call.
