Drapery. O p ENI N G D A Y, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1869. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. THE following list, having the appearance of being given in detail, shows only a portion of tte Stock opened up for sale. The prices quoted, together with the Colonial va’ue attached, brings out prominently the advantages obtained by Ca-h purchasers. Household Drapery comprises an assortment of goods always in demand ; the more especially at this season of the year—such as Flannels, Blankets, Sheetings, Quilts, Counterpanes, Huckabacks, Linens, Hollands, &c., &c., —while the prices quoted offerspecial inducements to those desirous of furnishing economically. The Mantles and Jackets are worthy of special mention, embracing a tew select novelties, together with a class of goods not always obtainable and marked for thenusefulness. To the Dress Department, I have given my earnest attention, and with long and active experience, and a thorough knowledge of the requirements of the Colonies, I can with confidence invite an inspection of the variety of fabrics introduced, the qualities and selection of colorings, and specially to the value, as conducing favorably to the interest of buyers. The difference in rental of the new premises as compared with the old, is mo-e than balanced by the reduced rate of insurance on brick buildings as compared with wood. It is worthy of remark, that three months ago I tendered an ofler for these same p cmises; the landlords being large impoiters in the same line as myself, it was presumable that I should not prove so desirable a tenant as one who was not importing, and I take this opportunity of thanking them for their kindness in placing the premises at my service, and on terms extremely liberal, enabling me to open up my goods with greater pleasure, and certainly much more conducive to the convenience of those favoring me with their patronage.
