My stock consists of 24 different kinds of COOK STOVES; 28 of Parlor and
Heaters. of the latest and most approved patterns, each of which has at
different times, been the subject of a patent, and none of which have been
hawked about the country by peddlers, whose only object is to gull the
community with some trash that no decent man would offer to a customer. I
pledge myself to sell a cheaper and better stove than any peddler or skinflint
that roams the country seeking whom they may devour. Also ... COPPER, Brass;
Sheet-Iron and Tin Ware, on hand, at wholesale and retail. All kinds of
Job Work done in the above metals with neatness and despatch. OLd COPPER,
Brass, Pewter, Wheat, corn, Lumber, Feathers, Beeswax, old Castings, and Scrp
