Bav™ has opened a Branch, 895 Market Space, between 8th and 9th streets. 4.22.1: A MELANCHOLY Hanvest.—A fine head of hair isa crop that should know no harvest. Yet when it begins to fade, the comb rakes out the fibres by the handful. This need never be. The daily application of Phalon's Invigorator will keep the hair in full luxuriant growth and of its natural color through life. 03 Justice TO WHOM IT BELONGS.—In justice to one of our most enterprising citizens, whose energy and activity have secured for himself a fair share of public patronage, we publish the following card, which explains itaelt: To the Public.—As there are certain merchants who ridicule the idea of advertising, and say that it is only intended to make newspaper men rich, and who at the same time claim that they never devote a dollar to such a purpose, and y resort to mean expedients to reap the benefits of those who do advertise, I feel it due to myself and to my patrons to state that I have no branch store in Washington, and none save that of my hoop-skirt and corset factory: at 408 7th street, Intelligencer building. Ladies in search of my establishment will please remember the nams and the number, Charles Baum, 408 7th street. Thankful for past favors, I beg leave to inform the public that I have just received my new —— stock, including all the novelties in hoop- skirts, corsets, kid gloves, human hair, trim- mings, the most complete stock of fancy and piain hosiery, and ladies’ furnishings, all of which are specialties, and thai I will endeavor in the future, as in the past, so to conduct my business as to continue to secure the confidence of the ladies of Washington, the efforts of ene- mies and malicious persons to the contrary not- withstanding.
