Watches, Diamonds, Silver, Cut Glass and Other
Art Merchandise at Actual Wholesale Cost!
AS announced in this paper yesterday, I am offering the public an opportunity, during this wet k, to secure reliable
goods at wholesale prices.
It is not pleasant to sell goods at cost while expenses are going on just the same, but I believe it is the only way to
check the unfair competion now existing in the jewelry trade in this city.
There is more chance for deception in jewelry than in any other class of merchandise. The public will see therefore
the wisdom of purchasing such goods from a firm WHICH ?NTENDS TO STAY IN BUSINESS.
I shall make no distinction in the goods offered--the Diamonds, Libby Cut Glass and Fine Sterling Silver Pieces will
be offered on exactly the same terms as the cheaper lines.
Below are Some Prices: i
Men's 20-year gold filled Watches. .$8.75 Men's solid gold Scarf Pins. 65 cents Full size Chafing Dishes.$3.75
Ladies' 20-year gold filled Watches.$11.75 LadieB' solid 14-k Elgin "Wutches.$16.50 Cut Glass Bowls, 8-inoh.$2.85

An advertisement cannot convey the extent nor artistic merit of the st'ek. As i's well known, this store has never carried any but the highest
class of goods. There is $25,000 worth here to be sold, if necessary, at the prices charged by manufacturers.
