SAVANNAH, Aug. &c. 1889,
Mr.. S. J. N, Wdyc. oss, Ga:
DEAR SIR-Yours of the nth to hand and con-
tents noted. In re ly, would say, that when
ever you see fit TO send in the order spoken Of
it will have my best attention
Yes! have tae finest line OF Table Injuries
and SpecialtieS that it is possible to get and a
stock of these goods, such as cannot be found
anywhere in this country, outside of some few
or Chicago.
Now, regarding Candies If you were in Sa-
vannah, intent upon getting some fine Candy
and would take the trouble to go to each of the
candies, " were you anything of Judge of what
constitutes even good, pure candy, you would
soon come TO the conclusion that there are
ONLY TWO houses in Savannah entitled to
your consideration. Everyone in Savannah
knows who that other party is. He has Fine
Candes-there is no doubt about that But in
paying this just tribute to the goods he SELLS
please understand that do not for moment
admit that they are one tot better than mine il
as good. For very many reasons, too, am in
hnitelv better fixed on Candies than he is.
l. The house that supplies me my Candles
has nothing whatever to do with my selling
prices.
2. My Candies do not come in onepound and
half -pound packages, but 1 bring them out in
bulk $50 to speak and pack them here to order
in any style and of any kinds wanted 1t is
needless to say that for very many reasons is
means quite difference in my favor in the cost
of Candies.
Candies and CONNECTIONS. while his stock con-
sists entirely of few packed specialties of a
certain maker,
In conclusi n 1 would say that until started
my Candy department it was not possible to
obtain any Good Can lies in Savannah except
from this arty, hence from necessity, all who
wanted Good Candy were obliged to go his
way y" Now, though, the situation is changed.
and almost all who appreciate Fine Candies
flow in our direction
For these reasons, therefore, 1 think you
would do well to place your Candy orders with
me. Yours truly, J. j. RELY.
