To momma. worm County:
I desire to announce that I have
this day completed my Fall Inven-
tory, that my business for the past
six. months has been larger than
ever before, that my winter stock
is proportioned to a. corresponding
business for the next six months
and that I, personally am ready to
meet my customers in a liberal and
generous spirit. I believe that I
have as large, as well seasoned and
as well assorted a stock of LUMBER
on hand at this time as was ever
placed in this market. ‘
I have over Eight Hundred Feet
in length of floor: room under cover
in which to store Dry Lumber, and
make it a. special claim that I can
and do offer stock from two to three
years old at the same price at which
others are offering this year’s cut.
I am the only dealer in this vicini-
ty who buys his stock at points of
manufacture and while I do not
claim to under-sell anybody, I do
claim that I am so situated in obn-
sequence of my manner of ‘ buying
that I cannot be undersold by» any-
body, and can and do give my cus-
tomersybetter goods and a better
assortment to select from than any
other dealer in this market.
