BUSINEhS
I hat I am doing, and entirely upon tha
cash principal, enables me to manufacture
woods at far less prices than any other con
cern; and l am determined to
SELL THEM AT A SMALL PROFIT 1 1
So as to make it an object for every Coun
try Merchant to invest his cash capital in
Clothing, as it will PAY him a better prof
it, MEET with quicker sales, and LEAVE
no remnants to loose on. 1 Iv Stock this
Spring has been manufactured entirely dif-
lerent irom any previous one. 1 have de
voted my whole time and attention to it, as
my orotner, Charles O. Martin, attends to
the St. Louis establishment.' My styles
ana patterns nave ail been selected with
great care, and all rich and beautiful. All
I ask is the pleasure of a call, when I am
conhdent that you cannot fail being pleat
ed with my
STI LES, PATTERNS AND PRICES.
Merchants who are in the habit of tra.
ding East, and those bound for California,
will find, by looking through my stock, that
they can buy cheaper than can be boueht
in me eastern manteis, and save therebv
expenses of going, coming, transportation,
kc.
My stock this season it. and will be tre
mendously large, and I am determined tt
close it on with the season.
All bills warranted to be packed correct
ly sizes and gooda guaranteed to be per
