Now it Came to Pass, In those days, when the drums ceased to beat, and the bugles vibrate throughout the land , and the long roll was called; that the people stood up in their majesty and cried out in a loud boice and said: Lo! we have antecedents to eat, but what RAIMENT shall we wear? And behold, there arowe two mighty men in the way of Raiment, whose name is Fleishel & Goodman, They are performing miracles in the way of selling their Goods at much lower prices than heretofore sold in Tyler. Their stock was bought in New York, Boston and various Eastern Manufactories recently, when goods were being allmost sacrificed at the North on account of dull trade and want of money. Having derived these benefits, they propose to give their customers the benefit these advantages. So the people came forth, and Fleishel & Goodman girded up their loins, and came forth and proclaimed, in a lownd voice: Come forth, all ye needing Raiment, and wewill properly clothe you, and do so in the latest and most approved style, and at Unprecedentedly Low Prices! And when the people heard this proclamation, they believed them, and gathered themselves together from highways and by-ways and cross-roads, with their sheckles, half sheckles, and greenbacks--all decidedly good. And these mighty men, whose name is FLEISHEL & GOODMAN, proclaim further: He that hath eyes to see, let him see; he that hath ears to hear let him hear: BEHOLD! And when they beheld such prices as these: Prints, good and nice 71/2 to 10 cts 4-4 Sea Island 10 cts Quilt Lining 6 1/2 cts Cotton Stripes 12 1/2 to 15 cts Jeans, for Pants all colors 15 to 75 cts White Jeans direct from Factory 50 cts Clarks O.N.T.

The People were Greatly Rejoiced! and shouted, for they could not hold their peace, and they said one to another: Surely, surely, such prices as these have never been known before in Smith, Van Zandt or Henderson counties. And now the economics., the wise and prudent, are improving the opportunity. And as the cry and rush became great, they had for the imformation of the people, to publish a card, to wit: FLEISHEL & GOODMAN Tyler, Texas. 2-9-3m. ---------------------------------- GOOD & ASKEW, Dealers in General Merchandise.
