Notwithstanding the fact
that we are receiving new
goods by nearly every steamer
and vessel arriving from the
States and from England, we
do sometimes get out Of certain
lines of goods that are much
needed. We want our inquir-

have just received probably
the finest assortment of
Dog Collars and PadlOcks
ever offered here. In one lot
we had over SIXTY DOZEN, of all
sizes and kinds. We can fit
the largest watch dog or the
smallest japanese pug.
Those friends who have
asked so many times for Razor
Strops will be glad to know
that we have just received a
new supply of the celebrated
Reppenhagen Razor StrOps.
We have several other kinds,
all good. Our assortment Of
Razors is full, having just re-
ceived a new lot.
We receive fresh
Ammunition
every month, and can supply
all kinds needed. Rifles, Shot
Guns and Revolvers always on
hand.
That new lot Of
Score Books
has just arrived.
Also a fresh lot of
Cottage Paints,
Enamel Paints, Varnishes, Oils
and Brushes of all kinds.
We have sold thousands of
feet of
Rubber Garden Hose
lately and expect soon another
large lot running from ] inch

The demand for
Galvanized Water Pipe
is constant and we keep on
hand all sizes from J inch to 2
