been immense and unprecedented largely exceed

before in our experience have we sold half as

had made much larger purchases than usual, and,
buying exclusively for cash, and selling for less

Pected large increase over previous years, but,
we admit, that we have been surprised at the
wonderful volume of our business.

The industrial classes of the country
