Imported Prepared Cycas Leaves 



We advertised these goods with our low prices a few weeks ago — the selling was 

 tremendous, we knew it would be at those prices — we were splendidly prepared, but 

 ran out of some sizes. 



Another shipment of the same fine quality just reached us per S. S. " Numantia," 

 and we can now supply all sizes. 



The lowering in prices is due to the impetus given by M. Rice & Co. to the man- 

 ufacturer of Imported Prepared Cycas Leaves by the great quantities we buy and sell, 

 more than any other house in the United States. 



A comparison of M. Rice & Co.'s prices for Cycas Leaves with those prevailing 

 elsewhere, is bound to bring US your orders.
