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. THE BRUSSELS POST. A NEW SYSTEM AD CHEAPEN GOODS.
