have bought the best of ita kind in every line->the BEST hut nut the FANCIEST. I car A
ry full Hues of both Dry Goods and Groonries; but iu the former department I make a
specialty of

And in the latter my specialty is
Pure Sugars, Coffees, &c.
I have no leader, that is I do not Rell granulated Rugar, ohocks and such well known
goods at cost, and make it up on things with which you aro unacquainted ; but my profits
are uniform throughout. lam Rgunt for
Fine Custom-Made Clothing
—AND—

Y ° n m y jnfer from the above that my prices are high, but not so, Ido not iutend
to be undersold by anybody, us a trial will convince you. All aro iuvitud to eall.
