In addressing my many friends
and supporters who have favored
me with their patronage in the
past and all who are in need of, or
will require goods that we sell, I
would respectfully call your atten-
tion again at this season of the
year to the many linos that we
keep. I might just say in the out-
set, that 1 do not claim (as is fre-
quently the case with others) to
have the
"Larlest ,.jsso7't712e7bI"
in town, because, how can I tell ?
I have not had the privilege of in-
specting their stock or examining
their invoices, which would bo a
necessity in order to make sure I
would be telling the truth. You
will readily see, therefore, how
dangerous such a statement is
when made by another. We have
a
Large Collection
of goods that have never come be-
fore the eyes of my customers,
much less those pretending toihan-
clle the same line of goods. In many
cases the best we can do is to
merely show you samples of what
we have, as our premises are too
small to make the display we would
like. We have goods for sale that
many might suppose we have nev-
er kept simply because they do not
see them. It is on this account
that we always feel gratified when
asked for goods that we do not
carry, as it proves to us, that our
customers favor us with all the
patronage they can, even beyond
our capabilities to supply. I would
then urge upon my ninny patrons
to ask for such things that they
may require but do not sae, as we
have many lines of goods it is im-
possible for us to keep displayed.
ARE YOU IN WANT OF
gTOYS OR BOOKS,
for the children ? Then we have
just the ones to amuse or instruct
and that will be sure to please.
DO YOU WISH SOME
t F"./lJVCY GOODSIT
for presons for your friends or
relatives ? Then we have them.
Are you in want of some Xmas
and New Year's Cards ? Then 1
firmly believe that nowhere out-
side the cities can you get either
the assortment or the value that
we can show you. I might just
say that they are EXCEPTIONALLY
good value and very fine. I might
enumerate some of the many
things that would be, both useful
and ornamental for holiday pres-
ents but we would prefer having
you call when we no doubt could
suggest many %things that would
suit you at the holiday season.
Wa would be very much pleased
to have yon come and see us and
favor us with your purchases.
Wishing you a Merry Xmas and a
Happy New Year, I am,
Yours faithfully,
G. A. Deadman,
Druggist, Bookseller and Fancy
Goods Dealer.
