Not at a price fixed by the prviucer—BUT FOR LESS—50 cents. Seems that we must be the only ones bere who were fortunate enough to secure the GENUINE SCOTCH SWIVELS. That bears out what we have told you-ugain and again—about being exclusive im our stock- gathering. Nobody ever had cause to donbt SCOTCH QUALITIBS—Nobody ever found room to complain of SOOLCH PATTEUNS—and COL- OBS. These are ali you have always found the Scotch to pe—better than the Do ‘mestic — prettier —enticely different — and CHEAPER. It isn't the man with the loudest voice who sings with the most melody.
