1893.

We herewith extend our
thanks to the readers of the
VOICE for their liberal patron
age during the past year.
We have been in the Dry
Goods business in Wellington
more than thirteen years and
our sales for the year 1892
were much larger than previ-
Gus years. In the future as in
the past we nope to merit your
patronage by strict attention
to business, by keeping at all
times a we'll assorted stock of
honest, reliable Dry Goods and
Shoes; by having every article
sold by IS exactly as represent;
ed; by always having every
article in stock plainly marked
in figures so that a child can
buy at the same price as the
shrewdest man, and so that it
is impossible for a clerk to
take advantage of a customer
if they were so disposed. In
a word to keep such a Dry
Goods Store as any citizen OF
Sumner county may take pride
in showing to his Eastern
friends when they visit the
county.
If at any time you are
tempted to send away for
goods bring your samples and
price list to our store and we
we will guarantee to duplicate
any eastern prices and save
you the freight or express.
If you have never traded
with us give US a trial this
Spring and we believe you will
find it to your interest to give
us at least a part Of your pat
ronage.
we are receiving new Spring
goods daily, and in a few
weeks our Spring stock will be
complete; in the meantime all
Winter goods are being closed
out at greatly reduced prices.
Again we thank you forpas
favors,
