1 have just received most of my spring purchases in Wall Paper and am now offering you a stock of some 5000 rolls
to make your selections from. This line is especially strong on the cheaper grades, ranging in prices from 10 cents to 25 cents
per double roll. It will not cost you anything to look at this line and put you under no obligations to buy. ’ If my goods look
good to you and are priced right, I would appreciate your business. I am discounting all paper carried over from last year from
20 to 25 per cent, for the reason that anybody's wall paper a year old is bound to be more or less tender from age. I am backing
this assertion with discounts. Mail order and sample book concerns are jobbers, not printers, of Wall Paper, a little pointer that
it would be to your interest to bear in mind, for paper printed last year or the year before IS NOT WORTH AS MUCH as
new stock. Come and look over my line and get my prices. Very Truly Yours,
CORNER DRUG STORE GEO. E. McCOY.
