These good* were bought for cash, and a handsome sum was saved in the discount; this enables me to compete with any body in my line of business in this part of the country. Upon goods bought at my establishment ! will guarantee an actual Saving of at Least Tea Per Gent. To convince the reader of the truth of this statement the prices of a few articles are appended, and all others will correspond.
