famous brands which you cannot find in any other
store in this town. Better quality for your money
is what you gel when you buy your cigars from us.

in the heart of every man there is a
feeling of admiration for sincerity of
purpose
Kvor since the clay of its organiza-
tion t he City National has been sin-
cere in its intentions and purposes,
hence its conservative policy in all
f hings.
It has been our aim to consider the
welfare of our patrons and to extend
to them every courtesy pertaining to
tlui betterment of their condition.
In doing this we have also been
benefitting ourselves and for that
reason the years have been prosper-
ous,
Having back of us such a policy,
and"realizing that it has always been
and will always be the most bene-
ficial policy for both our customers
and ourselves, we respectfully invite
the business of any man who ap-
preciates REAL MERIT and careful
('ONSCIKNTIOIJS service.
Yours very truly,
