for good and cheap goods of the
best quality, for they can be found
with JOSEPH LEVIN.
4th. Thou shalt bear in mind that
upon six days of the week thou
mayest make thy purchases of JO-
SEPH LEVIN, and on the seventh
day thou canst glorify over the
cheap goods thou hast bought, and
rest from thy labor, to the envy of
thy neighbors.
9Th. Thou shat honor thy father
and thy mother by buying thy clo-
thing, boots, shoes and hats, and
furnishing goods of JOSEPH LIE
WIN, and thereby save money for
myself and them, and live happy
in the land Of thy people.

crime of purchasing thy handmade
New, Orleans shoes at any other
place, but go straightway to 10
SEPH LEVIN, the cheapest deal
er in the land.

other house for the cheapest and
best assortment of goods in his line,

cheaper of JOSEPH LEVIN, and
get more and better goods for your
money than at any other place in

neighbors clothes, nor the way they
fit him, but take counsel of the jud.
ges of those good things; and call
at once on JOSEPH LEVIN, on
Front Street, where all these goods
can be obtained and warranted very
much cheaper and better than else
where, and "don't you forget it,"
