to my opening at corner of West and
Calvert streets. and expressed the opinion
of the necessity of first class wholesale
and retail Liquor Store in this locality
where the choicest liquors obtainable
could be purchased. for family and medi-
cinal use. am pleased to state that my
expectations have been fully realized,
and the patronage accorded me by those
who appreciate my efforts in supplying
the best brands of liquors at the lowest
Irices encourages me to announce that my
prices remain the same as two years ago,
Notwithstanding the fact that the tax inn
posed by the United States Government
increased the purchase price of goods.
My goods are bought in bond, in large
quantities and my motto has and always
will be, the very best goods obtainable
at the lowest possible prices.
