IA FAIR PROPOSITION I n ■ n I TO EVERY FAIR MINDED MAN. J I CONSBER THE FACTS, THEN GIVE YOUR VERDICT. I p ft ® A ew days ago the people of our vicinity were confronted with a GREAT, GRAND, LOUD- H B MOUTHED CALAMITY HOWL and PERSONAL ATTACK made up by our Hartford City g Competitors. " g g Since the attack was so personal and of such make-up which could only be conceived by a degenerated and unfair mind, consequently we take this method of placing the matter in a fair Q H way before the minds of the good people and citizens of Adams county, perfectly willing that B g they shall pass judgment. Consider the few following facts: g IU Who is building up the town? Is it the merchants of your town, or is it the Hartford City H O annex? O Or, if you are in need of a friend or an accommodation who do you go to, your own Home Q Merchants or your Hartford City friends? g And now when it comes to Prices on Legitimate Merchandise ||| I We Are, and Will Still Remain on the Ground Floor. I pg O We will meet any Price that our Competitors may name, and as usual are oftimes below, We give the following few named prices for example of how we sell goods: 2 Groceries. Clothing.
