No Advance In Prices.

The purchasing public will be pleased
to learn that there will be no advance
in the price of goods at j. W. Hunters
this fall on account Of the increased
tariff. Mr.. Hunter is shrewd and
careful buyer, and always has the in
terests of his customers in mind and
has saved them hundreds of dollars this
fall by placing his order for fall dry
goods and notions last April before the
new tariff went into effect. Partly on
account of the increase in duties under
the new tariff, and because he believed
that the farmers would buy more ex-
tensively this fall than for years on &C.
count of the increase in the price Of
wheat, Mr.. Hunter tells us he has
purchased the largest stock of general
merchandise he. has had for many sea.
sons, and as the selling price will be
right, there should be no trouble in
finding customers. The increase in
duties under the Dingley tariff bill il
more on a great many articles than the
retailers profit, and the public will up
preciate the saving to them this fall by
Mr.. Hunters timely purchase. Hi
new goods are now arriving and will b,
opened for inspection next week. Hi
ad in THE COMET will tell you al
about them.
