Saturday Sale Prices From 19th Century Ad

A fragmentary advertisement lists various discounted items with odd phrasings and prices such as 90c for $1.10 purchases and 4 20c for fabrics. It references colored laws and linen goods, including Bon net curtains, lace, calicoes, shirts, parasols, and hats offered at reduced rates. The text is garbled but depicts a sale with many 19th century items and terms.
