To the People of Bastrop County':
We ask permission to direct your atten-
tion to a few facts that should interest you :
t. a. h asler & co., haye been do-
in^ business in Bastrop, as a firm, for about
twenty years; they have built up a
safe trade, which is shown by the nnmber
of orders ^iven for the different lines of
merchandise, and the amount of ^oods sold.
How satisfactory has been our business,
and how fair and how pleasant has been
our dealings and intercourse with patrons,
ask them—-their continued patronage is cer-
tainly very flatering to us and our business.
While we are in business for the profit
there is in the business, and do net pretend
to sell goods for the fun of it, yet we mark
everything down and sell our goods for a
living profit, giving to customers such low
figures as will not onlv induce them to buv
but hold them as permanent customers.
In the dry goods and in the dress
goods lines, we cannot be excelled, either
in quality of goods, or in the price.
In the boot and .shoe lines we offer
bargains that cannot fail to please.
In the clothing department, our stock
is well selected, and having been bought
at low figures, will be sold at a bargain.
In the furniture department, you
will find well selected lines, all of which
will be sold very cheap.
In the stove dooartment, we carry
the best make, and purchasing by the car
load, can sell low down.

"I have also determined to turn over

"I have resolved during the coming

Mr < l ifTkins turned pale, doubtless
with Joy r plying tremulously: "I
