Hi. JVC- TP-A-TJXj.
..WEL&,
The Year 1900 Has Passed Out.
Let us all begin the new year of 1901, the beginning of
the Twentieth Century, with renewed courags and hopeful
of doing more good this year than we did the year 1900.
I did a good business last year, for which I feel very
grateful,and for which I express my gratitude to my many
friends and customers. I solicit your patronage, and by
fair dealing and prompt and courteous attention hope to
merit your trade. I am too well khown to enter into de
tails. I carry a Good Stock of Goods, and am in posi
tion to offer goods as reasonably as they can be sold.
Without going into an itemized advertisement, I will
offer Special Inducements on some Winter Goods rather
than carry them over another season.—-Clothing, Blank
ets, Dress Goods, Bugs, &C. I am aware of the fact that
Spring Goods will soon be here, and am willing to make
concessions on my Fall and Winter Goods in order to
make room for Spring.
I sell Wagons, Carriages and Buggies, and can fur
nish a limited amount of Good Fertilizers.
I like to have inquiries- Call to see me.
