forty thousand dollars together with very large

Der OF first rate workmen will be constantly on the
premises to fulfil every order, however diversified,
and please every taste, however fastdous; and for
this end range Of apartments, for the purposes Of
shaping, trimming, finishing, &C., are connected
with the saesroom, beneath which and the farthest
extremity Of the concern, orders and instructions

door IN front, to the extremity ct the rear OF the
wholesale wareroom, is about 1l5 feet, over which
distance cases of goods, sold, are transported by
railroad in the cellar with the utmost facility.
As to the goods offered to the public by Messrs.
Costar u Bebee, they require only to be examined
to establish their value; the specimens we saw OF
their "Moieskin Hat" upon which the French
pride themselves SO much, as well as their Black
Beaver Hats, are, IN point OF material, shape and
color, unsurpassed. In the project to which the
proprietors OF this new hat house have for years
been directing their attention, namely: that of uni.
ting, on the largest scale, a wholesale and retail
hat trade, we believe they have succeeded, and
will do a very extensive business in their line.
