Thank Yoe
We do not feel like passing up this season without
extending to yotf a :word:of4hanks for the liberal patron- .
for all the business, because you. aswell as we, Nfiilly ;;
realize the force of that old adage, "Competition is the .
life of trade," and we might add, 'the death of high
prices." While it is unpleasant and unprofitable to us
all at times, it is a mighty good regulator.
We ask you for that share of your business that
we merit through SERVIGE, QUALITY OF GOODS,
AND LEGITIMATE PROFIT.
OUR FALL GOODS ARE. BEGINNING .TO
ARRIVE and before you buy, look our goods dyer. Our
buyers are highly pieased with their purchases ' We
will be in fetter shape than ever to take care of your
wants. Gonnect with us, it wiljl prove profitable ' to
both.
