Business among the large whole
sale houses had not yet fairly opened,
although some sales had been effect
ed. We were assured that the coun-,
Try merchant would find stocks as
complete in the jobbipg houses in
Nashville as are usually found in the
Northern cities Formerly two or
three Wholesale merchants supplied
every description Of goods including
hats, boots, shoes, etc. Now, the
business men are classified, aud the
wholesale dry goods dealer confines
himself to that branch Of the bust
ness, while large amount Of capital
is invested in every variety Of bust
ness necessary to furnish complete
assortmenis. TO the country mer-
chant this is, Of itself, a great ad-
vantage, for it affords him wide
field for his purchases, and compe-
tition among sellers, which invariably
secures his bills at moderate rates.
We invite and advise our friends,
before making trip to other cities,
for the purchase Of their goods, to
examine and price the stocks in
Nashville houses engaged in the va
rious departments of trade, and we
ask as favor that preference be
given those firms making publication
in the OJSerrr. We will make ref
erence to the different departments of
trade engaged 10 by those houses, in
order that the reader may bear them
in mind, and for the purpose of show
that it is arranged in such a manner
as to afford every facility to the pur-
chaser. First comes the
Wholesale Dry Goods Houses.
In this department there are
EAKIN & Co,
DUNCAN, MORGAN & Co,
ALLISON, ANDERSON & Co,
All amply supplied with every de-
scriptiou of dry goods, purchased
from first hands, and which they will
sell on very favorable term IS.
Next in order comes the
Wholesale Boot and Shoe Business.
Merchants with large capitals are
engaged exclusively inthis business.
we may refer to
STRIckLER, ELLIS & Co,
who purchase direct from the manu-
facturers, and can supply the trade
to an unlimited extent.
Next in order come
Messrs. Hicks & DARDrN, ]
who are engaged exclusively in the
china, Glass and Queensmare TRADE.
To those purchasing in Nashville
for the first time, we may say that
if their demands in that line cannot
be supplied by those gentlemen, it
would be difficult TO supply them
elsewhere.
No stock Of goods is complete
without an assortment Of
Varieties,
Not usually found in the regular
wholesale dry goods houses, and the
firm of
A MORRISON & Co.,
Is el gagged exclusively il this bust
ness, and can supply every demand
