GROCERY AND BOOTS AND SHOES.--Among the influential highly commendable firms of Audubon none rank higher in the estimation of the public than this one. After eight years experience in business in Audubon we find this firm growing in public favor. This is not to be wondered at. Both gentlemen are conscientious, honorable and liberal in every transaction, both in business and private affairs; thoroughly understand the fundamental principles essential to success in any line of trade; are ambitious to succeed and appreciate the patronage of their fellow townsmen and country trade. They strive to please all, and few are they who have dealt with them who go elsewhere to seek more courteous treatment and better bargains in the grocery or boot and shoe line. Their social and business standing is certainly gratifying to themselves and numerous friends.
