Messrs. Bates and Fields have done so much in one way or the other to accommodate the students, not only by low prices and courteous treatment, but by giving one of the most expensive prizes presented last commencement, that we feel bound in common firmness to speak a few good words for them, not to old students, for they know the firm as well, probably, as we do, but to those new men and maidens who having just arrived, are thirsting for collegiate honors and the means to acquire them. The only way to accomplish this object thoroughly is to be well provided with tools or in plainer words with books, and we take this opportunity to cheerfully recommend the establishment of Bates & Field as the best place in the city to purchase not only text-books, but all the supplies needed by the regular student, and also as a place where low prices and gentlemanly treatment have always been the rule.
