TNHE SUBSCRIBERS havine removed TO their
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
Jobbng Business in the United States, offer for
sale by tie Piece or package, d stock Of TWELVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS /! of American.
English, French, German and Swiss Goods, direct
from American and European manufacturers.
Our long experience in the Western Taade and
having a correct knowledge of the wants of the
country, enables us TO import such goods as are
adapted to the wants of the people.
We believe we have facilities in buying which
are not enjoyed by any other Western house, hav-
ing resident partners and buyers constantly al 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 10 buy
much lower than Eastern or Western Jobbers who
buy on long credit, and we are always able and
prepared to take every advantage of a change in
the Market favorable to 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 injudi-
cious 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 ST. Louis, as can be seen
in New York or Philadelphia.
We guarantee to exhibit larger and better as
sorted and mere elegant stock of Fancy and Staple
Dry Goods and Noti5ts than was ever seen in one
house in America.
Our Dress Goods are mostly of styles designed
by ourselves, and entirely confined to us in thi:
/ market.
We DIRE prepared to offer the same inducement:
in silk and white goods offered by first class
houses in the East, who are only in this branch Of
the business
The country merchant will save time and money
by purchasing his goods in St. Louis-expense anc
risk of travel1ing-loss of time (Which is valuable
to good merchants )-expensive transportation
detention of his goods by low Rater--and misinan
agement of incapable and careless forwardin!
merchants, thereby subjecting Himself to loss O
sales and profits, and great inconvenience-a dis
count on money he receives from his customers
exchange which is always in favor Of the Eastern
cities--the risk of over-stockng himself with to-
large quantity Of goods not adapted TO his trade
which are sure to be deprecated and become un
saleable, and being long absent from his bushes
and family, are good reasons for the retailer +
make his purchases III home market.
We respectfully suggest these facts TO the mer
chants in the West, believing it is 10 their interes
in every respect to make their purchases in Sain
Lofts, and that the system we have established
guaranteeing 10 them cheaper goods and as larg
stocks as can be obtained in any of the Eastern c
ties, will bring to US many merchants and trader
who have not before seen that they could say
m5tiey amt title by coming to home market fc
their supplies.
Our motto shall be, in fact, LARGE SALES AN
SMALL PROFITS, an undertaking one price cash sy.
tem at least ten per cent less than any credit hou:
in the East or West can afford.
