PLEASE give me your attention while I

the new leaf you have pledged yourself to

THIS may be called a fine speech by those
who have never taken tbe trouble to
make my acquaintance, or to study my moda
of doing business. Still. 1 don’t ask any
body to take my word, or ir, tact to be inlu

but cordially invite all to call and investigate

I mean business and every word I say.
Fair dealing helps trade better than fair
weather. Nothing but steady, low prices,

prices alone tell the story.
