The fire very unceremoniously moved us
out of our old store on the night of March
26th, where we have been doing business for
over seventeen years, but having secured the
store formerly occupied by J. YV. HARRIS &
CO., next door to Waxelbaum’s, on Cotton
Avenue, we are again ready for business.
Some of our stock was damaged by removal,
and as the insurance companies paid us in full
for all such damages, we are prepared to sell
them at a ORE AT REDUCTION and not lose
any money by so doing. We have ordered
new tools, fixtures, material, Ac., to take the
place of those destroyed, and will be fully
prepared to do all kinds of work in a few days.
We saved all our Pianos, Organs and Sewing
Machines, and will guarantee bargains in them,
as in everything else. Call and see us in our
new quarters. Don’t forget the place,—Cot-
ton Avenue, next door to Waxelbaum’s.
