III AVING established ourselves in the city
- of Vicksburg, with the view Of facili-
tating the business Of the house Of Hart,
Butler & Co. of New Orleans with the Plan
tiers in this section OF the state. We wish a
share of public patronage, we feel ourselves
fully competent to afford the usual facilities
to the planters which hes heretofore been ex-
tended to them by the number of well known
established houses, both of this city and the
city Of New Orleans.
We are assured to say to the Planter that
the house in New Orleans has taken out an
open policy of Insurance which extends to
the waters of the Mississippi, Ohio and Ms
souri, rivers, and all their tributaries, which
advantage it is to the planter when shipping
his cotton to the house of Hart, Butler & Co.
and informing them, or the house of A. Hart
ir. & Co. of the shipment; to either house 1t
win be considered fully insured and protect
ed from loss or damage.
We will receive and forward cotton, and
will at all times be prepared to sell bills OF
Exchange on New Orleans in sums to suit
purchasers, at sight.
