Every effort will be made itt the future to render business relations mutually
advantageous.
We would also respectfully request that all will recelleet that we can have
but one price, which is .marked in plain figures uponithe goods, and that we
much prefer that purchasers should leave the goods if the price does not suit.

"Bargain Huntere " must be very evident to the more respectable portion of a
community.
We shall be pleased to show all who wish through our stock, quoting prices
