can afford.
TNHE SUBSCRIBERS having removed to their
l. new store on Main street, erected for them by
Col Brant, at a 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, a stock Of TWELVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS J! 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 10 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 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 buy
much lower than Eastern or Western Jcbbcrs 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, 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 more elegant stock of Fancy and Staple
Dry Goods and Notions 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 this
market.
We are prepared TO offer the same inducements
in silk and white goods as are 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 and
risk of travelling-loss of time (Which Is valuable
to good merchants )-expensve Transportation
detention of his goods by low water-and misInan-
agement Of incapable and careless forwarding
merchants, thereby subjecting himself TO loss of
sales and profits, and great inconyenience--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
large quantity of goods not adapted to his trade,
which are sure 10 be deprecated and become I'M
saleable, and being long absent from his business
and family, are good reasons for the retailer to
make his purchases in a home market.
/ We respectfully suggest these facts to the mer-
chants In the West, believing it is 10 their interest
in every respect 10 make their purchases i'll Saint
Louis and that the system we have established.
guaranteeing TO them cheaper goods and as large
stocks can be obtained in any of the Eastern ci-
ties, will bring to us many merchants and traders
who have not before seen that they could save
money and time by coming 10 home market fol
their supplies.
Our motto shall be, in fact, LARGE SALES ANr
SMALL PROFITS, an undertaking one price cash sys.
tenn at least ten per cent less than any credit house
in the East or West can afford.
