KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



THAT BEAUTIFUL TESTED QUEEN. 



That beautiful select tested queen arrived all 

 right on the 25th of last month. I am well pleased 

 with her. I think I have been successful in intro- 

 ducing her. Thos. A. Harrison. 



Burnet, Texas, Nov. 4, 1889. 



I have been without a timepiece for some weeks, 

 and feel so lost I am constrained to write you for 

 another watch. The one for which I sent you four 

 dollars was such a beauty that, as soon as received, 

 it was vowed to a nice girl, so I want another, 

 though a cheaper one, for myself. 



Tuscaloosa, Ala. J. A. Goree. 



I received the smoker a few days after I sent. 

 When I opened the package I was surprised to see 

 such a new style. I have seen different kinds of 

 smokers, but none so fine as that. I showed it to 

 several of my friends, and they said that they will 

 get one next spring. I am well satisfied with the 

 smoker. I would not have any other kind.
