T® THE WOOL GROWERS Oh' 

 VIRGINIA* 



AS the new crop will soon be ready for market, 

 we beg leave'to call your attention to the advan- 

 tages of our depot system for the grading and sale 

 of wool. Notwithstanding the disadvantages under 

 which we have had to labour during the past season 

 on account of the dull state of the trade, we have 

 made sales of all that we have received, at prices 

 not only very satisfactory but exceeding any others 

 that we have head of, for wool grown in this State. 

 We therefore confidently refer all interested to 

 those from whom we have had 'consignments the 

 past year. CRENSHAW & CO.,
