THE SUBSCRIBERS having removed 70 tbei,
L new store on Main street, erected for them BY
Col. Brant, at cost of sixty thousand dollars, and
being the largest store devoted to the Dry Goods
Jobbing Business in the United States, offer for
sale by the piece or package, stock of TWELVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS Il! Of American
English French, German and Swiss Goods direct
from American and European manufacturers
Our long experience in the Western Taade. and
having correct knowledge of The wants of the
country, enables us to import such goods as arc
adapted TO the wants of the people.
We believe we have facilities in buvinr which
are not enjoyed by any other Western house. hav-
ing resident partners and buyers constantly at the
manufacturers and auctions in the East, and our
agents on the continent. Purchasing our goods for
cash and on short time. we are enabled TO buv
much lower than Eastern or Western Jobbers who
buy on long credit, and we are always able and
prepared 10 take every advantage Of change in
the market, favorable 10 cash buyers, which mer-
chants who buy on credit can not enjoy.
We can afford TO sell, for Cash, ten per cent.
less than other houses. because we do not sustain
heavy losses by crediting extravagant and iniudi-
c!ous merchants.
Merchants who have been in the habit of visit
ing Eastern Cities are assured that they will see as
large stocks of goods in 81. Louis, as can be seen
i'll New York or Philadelphia
We guarantee to exhibit a larger and better as
sorted and more elegant stock of Fancy and Staple
DTy Ooous anu Notions than was ever seen in one
house in America.
Our Dress Goods are mostly Of STYLES desened
by ourselves, and entirely confined to us in this
market. -.ggEpsg7g
We are prepared TO offer the same inducements
IN silk and white goods are offered by first class
houses IN the East, who are only in this branch Of
the business.
The country merchant will save tine and money
by purchasing his goods in st. Louls--expense and
risk OF navelling-lJss of time (Which IS valuable
10 good merchants -expensive transportation
detention of his goods by low water--afid misman-
agement of incapable and careless Forwarding
merchants, thereby subjecting himself 10 loss Of
sales and profits, and great inconvenence--a dis
count on money he receives from his Customers
exchange which is always in favor Of the Eastern
cities-the risk of over-stocking himself with too
iargea quantity of goods not adapted TO his trade
which are sure TO be deprecated and become un-
saleaoie, and being long absent from his business
and family, are good reasons for the retailer to
make his purchases in home market.
We respectfully suggest these facts 10 the mer-
chahts IN the West believing it is 10 their interest
in every respect to make their purchases in Saint
Louis. and that the system we have established
guaranteeing to them cheaper goods and as large
stocks as can be obtained in any of the Eastern c-
ties, Will bring to US many merchants and traders
who have not before seen that they could save
money and time by coming to home market for
their supplies.
Our motto shall be, in fact, LARGE SALES AND
SMALL PROFITS. an undertaking one price cash sys-
ten, at least ten per cent less than any credit house
in the East or West can afford.
