One fact and one only do we wish to i'm press upon your minds, this week. If you need a bill of furniture of any size, it will pay you to visit Hawleyville and see our stock before you buy. We are not giving away goods selling less than cost upon any pre- text whatever. We have no attractive show window prices "for this day only" and no low priced leaders to mislead. No twill you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the hy' inducements. Our goods are marked in plain figures, at prices consistent one with cost. Our many advantages ot location en- able us to handle furniture on a much smaller margin than if we were doing business in the city, and yet we give you stock to select from that no city need feel ashamed of.
 We make all our hair mattresses, know what is in them and guarantee as represented. We renovate and make over old mattresses and do all kinds of upholstering. We deliver all our goods free of freight charges, to any railroad station within 50 miles of Hawley- vile. We do large and growing business in furnishing up summer cottages entire. We carry stock of childrens' carriages, retriger' ators and every thing it the furniture line. We are headquarters for the New Home and Wheeler X Wilson sewing machines. Look us over before you buy, that's all we ask.
