[TAR OR NO WAR ?—lt gives me y reel pleasure, without mixture, bout measure, to thank my many .costers once more at this recurring sea- , and with both rhyme and reason for ing out their money at my store. And, ilat there’s no denying, the times are bet trying, that trade is dull and money roe enough. I'm proud to have to say, t my friends buy every day, without aid of advertising puff. Ido not say laughter, as indeed I did’nt onghter, i below the cost I don’t profess to sell. ' t in fair play none can beat mo, I give im leave to eat me, who do not think erve them very well. Now, as might expected, my stock is well selected, lie great variety of goods I have in re. The teas so ably blended, can be 11 recommended, as has been often adrtiend before.
