grand gift drawing. Encouraged by th,
results OF past donations, Cheap Tony viii
continue to give away these famous ma

must not be supposed, however, that the
prices Of goods are enhanced to make up

vince the most skeptical that Cheap Tony'e
prices are below those Of any Of his com

His stock is splendid one, comprising a
large array of dry goods. clothing, notions,
boots and shoes, hats and caps, groceries
and general merchandise, and affords bar
gains that cannot fail to suit all tastes and
purses. In short, Cheap Tony is still to
the front and proposes to stay there.
