Mr. Leopold Recently Spent Four Weeks in the Wholesale Markets in order to select good, honest and reliable goods to suit a good, honest and reliable trade, which stock, in quantity, quality and style, cannot be surpassed by any other house in the country. Advantage in Buying Gives Success in Selling. A few words to illustrate this proposition may not be out of place. Mr. Leopold buys for cash only, discounts all his bills, pays no high rents, sells only to good parties when credit is wanted, and, best of all, has no partner with whom to divide profits except his numerous patrons, and to them he promises a fair share of all these advantages, thus equalizing them to both buyer and seller.
