Takes this method to inform her friends and the public that she has taken a Store at
Medford, and offers for sale a good assortment of family Groceries, comprising [almost] every article usually called for in that line; and solicits a share of patronage, proportionate to her endeavors to please.
Among her assortment she would enumerate the following
Hyson, Young Hyson, Souchong and Pouchong Teas,
Flour, Raisins, Almonds, Figs and
Goshen Cheese;
Molasses, Coffee, Cocoa, ground and unground
Rice,
Ginger, Cloves, Nutmegs,
Cassia and Jamaica Spice.
Sugars of all kinds, and better you will seldom see,
Made by
black and
white, by labor bond and free—
Entry Mats large and small, the produce of Manilla
Soap of [all
1]kinds made from tallow and barilla—
Choice Butter just from the land of steady habits,
By tub or single pound just as you please to have it—
Lemons fresh from
Sicily, and as you and I know,
Far better than those from the
Island of Palermo-
Oranges too, and whether you want few or many,
Be sure and take those from the
Isle Messina—
Brushes, Straps and Razors to smooth the prickly chin,
Oil to slick the hair, and
Lavender to polish down the skin;
Brushes “to shine de boot, to slick de coat and friz de hair,”
And French Cologne to make the face and neck look fair;
Sponge, Paste, and Day &
Martin's Blacking,
To improve the shoe and keep the vamp from cracking.
The smallest favor received with grateful thanks,
And bills received in payment on all the solvent banks;
If you please to purchase, or favor with a call,
Stop at the new store, between the
Church and Vil-Lage Hall.
