They put so much money and conscience int Oh

Yourself for Nothing.

We hear that the rockers that Messrs H. F. Blogg & Bro. were giving away are now exhausted, but they still seem disposed to force trade in these dull times, for they are offering a 16x2O unframed crayon portrait free with purchase of $50. Nor do they, as is the case generally, require that a frame should be purchased of them. giving as their reason that their store at 699 Chapel street contains the fur niture you want, but not necessarily the frames.
