The above mentioned goods have
made material advances in wholesale
prices during the past few months and
will no doubt go still higher. We pur-
chased this supply several months ago,
and in consequence we are able to put
these goods on sale at the old prices,
which prices we will maintain as long
as the present stock bought at low
prices lasts. Anyone in need of this
class of goods, or contemplating pur-
chase in this line, during the next few
months, should make their purchases
from the stock at once and buy at the
low prices.
