Y*H Whereas ; Certain of our V/CVI lower grades of Goods, bought from us as such, have been sold to the people of Rensselaer as our prime goods, same being an imposition upon the people and ourselves as well, we wish to make it known that our prime goods bear a green warranty stamp, whereas our second quality goods do not. The latter are most excellent goods for the money, for which we sell them, but they do not, of course, equal our primes; and it is to prevent injury to the reputation of our goods and imposition up on the public, that we publish this notice.
