"% CARD OF THANKS ChriHtie, Henderson ti Oo., Acton, desire to tender their sin- cere thanks to their many custo mers for the large share of business accorded them during the past season. to On the 1st April last, in order meet the views of the closest buy ers, they determined to adopt the POPULAR CAjSH SYSTEM, doing business at the least possible expense and selling goods at the ; smallest possible protit. ..' ' This step they have no reason to regret. The result has proved most satisfactory to themselves, and they trust, much to the satisfaction and pecuniary advantage of their custo- -i -i i mera.- r ' v !' ' ! : - i - Notwithstanding the great de pression'in money matters gener ally, their sales, since adopting the cash principle, have been largely in excess of former years and their circle of trade much extended. They trust that by close applica tion to business, always watching carefully the wants of their custo mers, and selling goods at closest prices, they shall continue to merit the large share of trade.so liberally, accorded to them. They invite close inspection and comparison both in prices and qual ity of goods' offered, and have no fear of the result. Hoping that a bountiful harvest may crown the labors of the bus* bandman, and that a good price may be obtained for ;the same, thiy again assure their numerous friends that no effort will be spared en their part to supply good reliab le goods at the least possible cost.
