Hoping that you may be as suc? cessful in relieving others as you have been in my case, I remain, Very truly yours, John B. Patrick.

Thus sold under the best auspices, go promptly and give satis? faction, and this is the kind of trade we are willing to pay for by shading our profits to the "live and let live" basis. We are simply honest, and never over? charge. We are simply sensible, and do not scare away trade by askiag double value. We expect to keep in business, and sell so low that people believe us when we claim to be just right in our prices. Give us a look, and we think you will trade with us.
