To the Merchants of Watauga Co.

I now have a branch house at Elk Park, N.C., for the purpose of buying Roots, Herbs, Birch Oil, Pennyroyal Oil, Wool, Hides, Chickens and Eggs, and will at all times pay the Highest Cash Prices.

I will also have for sale at Wholesale Prices, Corn, Chop, and Flour and will sell as low as they can be bought anywhere, less the freight. I invite one and all to give me a trial and see if I don’t pay you more for your barter and sell you goods for less money than you have been paying.

For the present, I will pay $1.95 for Birch Oil.

Yours for Business, Millard F. Hopkins
