Cheap Tony. Donation.
The time j. near at hand when CheaI
Tony will donate another of those splendie
Light Running Domestic Sewing Machines

grand gift drawing. Encouraged by che
results Of past donations, Cheap Tony will
continue to give away these famous ma.
chimes to his patrons, each purchase to the
amount of 1--WE dollars emitting the GUS
TONER to one chance IN the drawing. 1t
must not be supposed, however, that the
prices OF goods are enhanced to make up
for the donation, az investigation will con
vince the most skeptical that Cheap Tony's
prices are below those OF any of his COM
petitors, while his goods will compare IA
vorably in quality with any in tbs market.
bis stock is splendid one, comprising a
large array Of dry goods, clothing, bottoms,
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.
