NEW YORK MARCH 25tb, 1879.

EDITOR OP MAIL, I have been in this city during the past ten days, and expect to remain here about a week longer.

During my stay here I have been enabled to close out for cash extensive lines of BLACK, COLORED, and FANCY SILKS, DRESS GOODS, of Heaviest and Choicest Styles, LINEN GOODS of Every Description and many other kinds of choicest goods.

Most of tbe articles named were purchased from importers direct, who bad orders from the Consignors in Europe to sell, in order to realize the cash, whereby I was enabled to secure tbe goods at from 15 to 25 per cent, under regular wholesale prices, enabling us to offer tbe goods to our patrons far lower than any house in Terre Haute could possibly sell them. Our purpose is to give our customers tbe full benefit of tbe fortunate purchases, and they will be astounded when tbey come to learn of tbe wonderful bargains they can obtain.

CITY

Throws Open Its Doors

TO-DAY.

As we shall have but ond price, that will be the lowest possible cent which can be taken for any and every article offered. No asking 910 and taking |8 for an article we can afford to sell at |S. Every piece of goods will be marked in plain figures and be sold entirely upon its merits. A child just old enough to talk shall buy goods at our establishment as cheaply as tbe most scientific shopper in America.

We are rejoiced to say that owing to reduced expenses, to specially favorable contracts with manufacturers and im porters, and in some instances to a de cline in tbe market, we shall be able to to continue, for a short time at least, the nnpieoedentedly low prices at which we have sold goods during tbe past three moaths, except possibly on Prints. Even upon these the advance will be slight. It is impossible for us to quote many prices for want of room. We can but simply assure you—and if we don't make oar promise good don't you bay a dollar's worth of as—that whether yoa want a paper of pins, a silk dress, or an elegant carpet, we will give yoa abetter article at the same price than Any house In Western Indiana.
