ME ARE CONSTANTLY IN RECETPT OF A GREAT MANY INQUT
nes from all part- of this Slate and FI- rida no that we find it almost impossi
ble to answer each inquire soparatelv.f We now fake this method lo explam
to the readers of the SENTINEL all the partieolara necessary for them to
I . We will send .-onnles to any one who will writ* n for them, with price ■-
tached, provide-! a 3 cent postage stamp is enc Used and everr article mention
ed a hieb parties-Wc, snd can he asmpled; but do not write ne to send vou
samplfs of everythin-., f or ,hat is impossible. \Y r it e f, r lamp | e , of
go.ids only as yon have a notion of purchasing R member ,l s „, sa m „|e ß on !v
give an idea of wlmt the goods are, but do not give the article full juetic*.
2. Do not have nnv he.jtancv in goods vo n want, for wo gnaraa
•ee every article to e-me np t 0 sample, and if un-a-isfactory. it ean be returned 1
ns at our expense, and U’e will refund the money.
3. Should any article torn out unsntisiaetorr, which might occur through to
oversight or otherwise do not prejudice us of h-vine and ne o intentionally, buk
2-ve 1.8 the benefit of .he doubt, and before re.umins it writs n8 yonr'eom

4. Ctlicoeg we cannot alwavi match

ties of goods an ! it is imp s*ihlc to
k<’ep ev r 7 pattern for *nv length of
time. Such and similar gio I* w - guar
antee to fi I, by giving the *Ame tpisd
ty, and as near the pattern as possible.
5. We sk a* a fnvnr, that parties
ordering g<v ds be very particular in
writing their name and shippotg point
in plain letters, to avoid nitstakes; ds>
lo make their order us definite -8 p ra
bble, especially on article* of which
sample* cannot be ent. we would ask
to give us a limit in the priee, to enable

fer the nu ney to accompany the order,,
but we will iiend the goods C. O. D.

7. We do not sell oo credit under

9. We prepay the frei -ht on all or
der* ftmnuntii g to twenty dollar* or
over. This is the very bet we do, for
our profit so slight (as we retail our
goeds at wholesale prices) that we can
not afford to do better. Me * Imit
there are houses who pay freight on
ten dollars worth of goods, bot com
mon sense teaches plainly that tbeir
profit must be larger than ours, or else
th<y could rut rfford to do it. tnd,
then fore, in such eases, the party
ordering the good* of aueh house pay s
the freight after all —only indirectly.
We have endeavored to be a bon'Bt arid candid in onr **atemeot* as tha lan
at our command can do it, and if this fail* to convince, we do not know
what can.
We hold ourselves legally responsible to carrv ont the above assertions and
consider this a binding contract, entered upon by us freely and voluntary, and.
