1877. 1878. The Cheapest Plnce In Town. BIG BARGAINS For Cash at A. LEOPOLD’S. THE ONLY PLACE WHERE GOODS ARE SOLD AT THEIR REAL VALUE FOR CASHI No more credit asked by me, but by paying cash for all I buy, and receiving big discounts, I am enabled to sell to cash customers at such figures that all are bound to purchase. I have just returned from Chicago where I found a very depressed market in all kinds of merchandise, and having the cash to pay I secured big bargains, and am willing and determined to share this advantage with my many patrons. Among the articles purchased is a fine assortment of DRESS GOODS, consisting of plain and figured Delaines, Debaizes, “Snowflake,” and other brands, at prices ranging from 10 to 20 cents per yard; Alpacas, all colors, at from 25 to 75 cents. The 25 cent Alpacas are usually sold at 40 cents a yard. Please call and examine them before purchasing elsewhere. English Merinos which I am selling for 35 cents a yard are worth 50 cents. Black and fancy Cashmeres which I am selling for 75 cents are well worth sl.lO. My stock of Calicoes is the largest in town and sold as low as 5 cents a yard.

A most beautiful stock of LADIES’ AND CHILDREN’S FURS, for the holidays, at from $2 to $3.50 per set, worth from $4 to SO.

A complete assortment of Ladies’ and Children’s Cloaks which are being sold at astonishingly low figures. A splendid line of LADIES’ AND GENTS’ NECKWEAR will be sold regardless of cost. CLOTHim My stock of Clothing is the largest and best selected of any in the county and will sell themselves, as the prices on them are 20 per cent, less than any other house can afford to sell. I have a complete assortment of Boys’ Suits, and Ulsters, for the holidays, together with a full line of AND <JAPS,'~very beautiful and cheap. I will sell BOOTS AND SHOES lower than purchasers can expect, for I am determined to control the trade.
