A CARD.

SAN ANTONIO, February Q, 1888.
Our store for the past few days has been the
scene of curious wonderment. occasioned by
the startling display of the wonderful Nc
CAUsLAND DISH WASHER. We have carefully
noticed the couutenances and marked the YER
dict of each visitor, and all have, as in our
case, stamped it revolution in domestic la
bors. So. as an act of simple justice to its
agents, Messrs. SojOurner & Watson, We offer
this as slight testimonial of our belief in an
article which we pronounce perfect, both in
cheapness and Indispensable utility.
