gratulations of the season, with the
promise that in the year 1884 I will sell
better roods and cheaper goods than I
have ever done before, because I have
added another year's experience to my
knowledge in buying, and the same
amount of experience to find out that a
criticizing and exacting public buy only
the best goods from the cheapest store.
I hope to sell everybody guano this
year, and while extending the compli
ments or the season, I take the occasion
tosay that I expect everybody who owes
me for goods purchased last year to set
tle at once.
