GREAT BARGAINS. -Wm. Butters of “But-ters & Co.” has been cutting it remarkably fat in the way of auctioneering lately. He has cleaned out the Revere establishment, and is now engaged hard a work at “May’s Hotel” selling off its contents like “hot cakes” at extremely low figures. Household goods and furriture don’t bring as good prices at this season as earlier in the Spring or later in the Fall, but this is to the advantage of the buyer, and the seller must submit to the sad fate of being knocked down “for a song.” To-day Butters finishes May’s Hotel. Crowds bid yesterday, and crowds will get bargains there to-day.
- Hotel May, next door south of the Metropolitan Hotel.
