My goods are marked down at the lowest figure and thereby commend themselves to all who purchase.* In these days of close competition I make it a rule to keep abreast of the times, and not only keep a large and attractive stock of GENERAL MERCHANDISE, j but mark them down at Rock bottom prices; and while I do not make it a rule to^ undersell, yet I know that my prices are as low if not a i Little lower than than the Lowest, taking as my motto, that old but practical maxim, "SHORT PROFITS and QUICK SALES." Especial attention is called to . my IMMENSE SPRING STOCK, now on hand. These goods have ? been selected with great care and ' embrace all the NOVELTIES OF THE SEASON. The young Gentlemen in my employ are ever ready at their post, anxious to show goods, and consider it no trouble but a plea- { sure. Soliciting a continuance of your kind favors.
