SMITH 6 MURRAY.

We cannot afford to enter 1893, un- til we've paid our respects and hearty thanks to good old 1892. The year that is past brought us increased busi- ness beyond our plans and dreams. The year was filled with opportunities and we'd have been blind not to have accepted them. The chances for. liberal trading were grand. It has seldom been the privi- vilege of business house to have the for tune to pass over to their patrons so many ex- ceptional values, brought about by constant watch in all markets for break in prices thereby securing for our trade the best possible values.
 We'll begin 93 with a brighter future than any preceding year.
 On Tuesday, Jan. Sd, we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over Western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an op- portunity presented itself in the way of break in prices While we do not welcome such state Of affairs yet manufacturers will make too many goods; partners will disagree-some of them die stocks have got to be sold cash got to be raised
  ilege to offer to an appreciative public the best values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies' Muslin Underwear. This branch of our business requires but little comment. Con- meneing last April we made contracts for this class of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation of goods and low prices that will play an important part in this great sale. Noth- Ing unworthy is offered.
 In connection with this sale every department in the house will offer special values.
 The sale begins TUESDAY, JAN. Sd, at g a. m. SMITH & MURRAY,
 SPRINGFIELD.
