P A few days since we took turn through
the establishment spoken of below, and know
from personal observation, that it fully bears out
the description given of ID. The firm is composed
ofgenileman, whose superiors cannot be found for
integrity and fairness in all business transactions.
With the senior partner, we have enjoyed the
pleasure Of an acquaintance many years, and
moro honest and just man lives not, than our
friend BRookE. We rejoice 10 see him associated
in SO prosperous and extensive business, business
which will be increased and never diminished, if
probity can command success. y. s-..,. =
We cordially commend to purchasers the estab-
lishment of BRooKE & Whitney. The follow
ing is from the Daily F'ofes; City Democrat:
Messrs. Brooke & yyhitncy's Great
Depot Of Yankee Notions, &c.
This popular establishment is doing heavy
business and we question if any other concern East
or West can approach it so far as uuriety is con-
cerned. Upon looking through their we'll filed
store, Dominic SAMPsoN's exclamation of" Prodi-
gioxs - involuntary escaped us, and ere we had
seen half, we had well nigh made up mind to
turn Yankee peddler, just for the pleasure of ex-
hbiting specimens of the nice I" fixngs y which
Messrs. B. Il w. are almost hourly sending into
all parts Of the country.
Three large store-rooms are used, and their
assortment of Motions" though large, constitutes
enly portion of their stock. THEY have a briili-
ant array of watches and jewelry, which they are
selling at low figure; cutlery of American manu-
facture, warranted equal TO any in the world.
soaps, perfumery, hosiery, gloves, stationary and
paper of every description, merino under shirts
and drawers, all kinds of thread, brushes, combs,
suspenders, buttons, &c. ull fom the manufac-
turers. Some of the new styles of horn buttons
are very beautiful the material of which they are
made being completely disguised by American
ingenuity. Their stock of needles and sewing
siik may be measured by the cord, and the same
is true of a number Of other articles.
Imported goods also we'll represented ::
dress silks, silk brocades silk laces berage of all
coors tor dresses and wells, and every description
offancy goods; Vestiugs enough to elothe an army,
comprising every description of fabrics in use, at
prices ranging from 81 cents 10 $3.50. Their
stock Of taiors' trimmings, etc, is complete. The
upper story of the establishment is crammed with
clocks, whips. 'carpet-b bags and satchels-W Wilton,
tapestry, hemp, felt and enalneled- d-comforters in
endless profusion, girls and misses zephyr wool
bounets, shirts, collars, &c, &c. We have not
space to snumerate 1.-THE of the articles COM
prised ia their immense stock; an entire country
store or city millinery can here be turnsd oat in
short order; and it an assortment OF " Notions -
merely to "please the children " is required, the
gentlemanly propretors will be found always On
hand, with an inexhau=tibo supply of urbanity and
politeness.
The facilities enjoyed by Messrs. BROOKE &
WHITNEY for purchasing goods, are not surpassed
by those Of any other house in the Union; and.
while their prices never higher than the New
York prices, in that portion Of their stock (which
is very considerably received direct from the
manufacturers, they afford to undersell the
New York jobbers. They are gentlemen of
acknowledged probiiy and worth, and we feel en-
tlrey confident that their manner of dealing with
their friends will not fail to win additional custom
ers to the wholesale trade of our city.
