Don't be Deceived.

As the scarcity of money makes it
necessary for all merchants to be
both active and energetic in order to
make sales, it is matter of ingenuity
among them to devise some means
to offer the most alluring promises,
to induce those who desire to buy,
to go to certain places to trade.
While we believe in energy and
push and the extending of polite in
yitations to trade, expressing desire
for it and a due appreciation for it
when it is obtained, still we can but
condemn the awful practice displayed
by some to secure customers, when
we must realize that they go away
dissatisfied.
For these reasons we have never
made side-show promises, but we will
say that in legitimate dealing we are
not afraid of competitors.
This weeks bargains will include
another lot of ], 200 volumes of stand
ard authors, cloth bound, at 15c.
The first shipment was exhausted
in very few days.
100 dozen ladies' vests at Sc each :;
regular 25c goods.
Same quality we had such run
on last week.
100 dozen ladies' fast black hose,
Sc pair; guaranteed fast and good
quality.
80 pieces of challies at Sc; worth
15c.
Besides other bargains which we
have not the space to enumerate.
We think we have been in the bus
mess long enough to know the quail
ity of goods, and are sufficiently
known to warrant the assertion that
our word will be taken for anything
we say. Therefore, we say to all
North Louisiana that we have a
special stock of dry goods, dress
goods, notions and general house
hold outfttings, which we are selling
at prices that no one can surpass.-
All we ask is chance to show and
price and we feel assured that the
would-be purchaser will do the rest.
Yours, HENRY DREYFUss 4 Son,

modern improvements in the dental
profession. With these improve
ments | can do my work for just one
