OURSELVES.

Possibly it is not good taste to make personal allusions, but we are such an excessively young firm that it may he pardoned. We cannot point with pride to a long and distant past-we cannot even refer to last year; but we can plant six feet on the living present and serve your interests with as much pleasure and profit as o.lr more ancient and respect ed competitors. Our stock is even newer than ourselves, and it may interest you to know that our ambition is a trifie larger than the commercial field we hope to occupy. We are a bit overanNious to place your orders on our brand new order book, and to feel the weight of your sil- yer in our pockets. Perhaps you will find it convenient and profit able to allow us an opportunity to do both.
