After a business experience in Brussels of 20 years I desire to return my hearty thanks to the Public for their liberal patronage and at the same time to state that I am in a better position than ever to sell good goods at low prices. Having two stores, one in, Brussels and the other in Seaforth, and consequently buying in large quantities enables me to purchase a great deal finer than I could in the past. You must not compare prices of 5 years ago, or even 1 year ago, with what they are to -day, and I assure the Public that it will well repay them to call and see goods and get figures, even if yoti don't buy. I cannot give a list of prices here as I carry such an endless variety of goods consisting of FURNITURE of all styles from the lowest priced to the best. owlitic Et The largest .stock of Pictures and Picture Framing goods ever shown in Brussels may be found at my Emporium and theyare sold at half the old price. In Organs I have been selling them at from $15 to 120 lower than other dealers, but I can now sell them cheaper than ver. Buy the best—the Goderich or the Bell—both of which I am gent for. .L niztlekaxtz I prefer to say but little about this department, as have been with you doing business for many years, and these who have called on me are best able to say whether I have given satis- action or not.
