The notice proclaims Sullivan County’s Mammoth Store as no side-show and the largest, cheapest, best stocked shop. It invites opposition but vows to lead with low prices and fair treatment, touting vast silk and dress goods and an extensive boot and shoe stock. It claims to offer anything cheap, from a broken down politician to a second hand pulpit, promising value and superior selection.
The Washington birth site at Wakefield Westmoreland Virginia is discussed with detail on the original estate, its fate after fires, and relics as well as a ceremonial 1877 kitchen chimney collapse and a 1815 inscribed stone.
