Description
PEIRCE'S FREE GROCERY STORE,

C. PEIRCE, grateful for the encouragement heretofore received, in the sale of Groceries raised by Free Labor, respectfully informs those who give a preference to goods of this description, that he has lately received an extensive assortment of them, of an excellent quality, which he is enabled to sell at prices much lower than any heretofore obtained.
Having made arrangements to import the goods in large quantities, direct from the places where they are manufactured, C.P. would respectfully invite the attention of the country as well as the city store keepers, who wish to keep them, either from conscientious motives, or for the accommodation of those who are desirous of bearing their testimony against Slavery, trusting that he will be able to supply them on equally favorable terms with any other individual in the United States.
