PURCHASING AGENCY.


FOR the accommodation of my numerous friends in various parts of the
country who prefer not to be at the expense of frequent visits to New
York, I have made arrangements with some of the most reliable houses in
the city to supply those who may favor me with their orders for

    BOOKS, STATIONERY,
    Hats and Caps, Dry-Goods,
    DRUGS, HARDWARE, FURNITURE,
    CARPETS, WALL-PAPERS, GROCERIES,
    ETC., ETC.,

on such terms as can not but be satisfactory to the purchasers.

The disposition on the part of many merchants to overreach their
customers when they have an opportunity of doing so, renders it almost
as necessary for merchants to give references to their customers as
for customers to give references of their standing to the merchants;
hence I have been careful to make arrangements only with honorable and
responsible houses who can be fully relied on.

As my trade with those houses will be large in the aggregate, they can
afford to allow me a trifling commission and still supply my customers
at their _lowest rates_, which I will engage shall be as low as any
regular houses will supply them.

My friends and others are requested to try the experiment by forwarding
me orders for anything they may chance to want, and if not satisfied, I
