VINO are III want OF OrugSS tDouSH nc
should Judge from the small bills OF
mortality shown none would be needed for
use while in Alton.
Stay moment while we cross to the
corner of Third and Belle streets, to the
wholesale and retail drug store of W. A.
HoLToS & Co., who have as nice room
as there is in Alton, and whose shelves
and basement are supplied with drugs,
medicines, paints, oils. dye-stuffs, glass,
brushes, soaps, perfumery, fancy arti-
! cles. fountain syrups, patent medicines,
and pure wines and brandy, for medical
purposes only. An experienced drug
gist, who has been eighteen years in bu-
siness, who understands the wants of the
West, and who is so amply prepared to
fll large bills, will not be neglected by
our friends who are putting up bills in
that city.
As it is presumed in coming such a
distance, with so long journey still be-
fore the traveller, that his boots are get
ting badly worn. our friends will next al
low us to introduce them to the whole
sale boot and shoe store of E. S. DIM
MOCK & Co., on the south side of Second
street. A very heavy stock is constantly
kept on hand, and the prices are exceed
ingly low. Our merchants will consult
their interest in sending bills to this
house.
Pass on, if you please, reader, to the
corner of Piasa and Second streets. and
supply yourself and friends with fash
ionable clothing for men and boys. at the
wholesale and retail clothing and furnish
ing store of 7. A. NAPLES. His stock
will be found to be large one, and Sc
lected with great care for the Western
market, and our merchants will find it to
their interest to take look at his stock
in their route through the city.
AS the traveller may desire general
stock of dry goods, boots and shoes,
ready-made clothing. DC, he will step to
the corner of State and Third streets,
directly opposite the book and jobbing
Office of the Alton Courier, where WHIP
PIE d TUNNEL will be found with very
excellent stock. There bills have been
limited, in the past, to $4,000 or $780,
900 year, but with the new facilities
now opened for trade, it would not be
surprising to see their bills running up
to 100000 the next year. They have
a varied stock, and merchants will do
well to examine figures.
AS teas, sugar, coffee, molasses and
salt will be essential in new country,
we will next visit the wholesale grocery
establishment of Messrs. WADE, BARRY
& Co., at No. 7, between Second street
and the Levee, entrance at either end
1t will be found well filled with general
stock in their line, including wooden and
willow ware. They receive their staples
regularly, direct from New Orleans, and
other articles from first hands in the Eas-
tern cities. Their sales ares$2OO, 900 a
year, and constantly increasing. With
very heavy capital, they feel that the
merchants interest of the West will find
it an object to patronize them; and this
was our opinion.
We will now go over to the fashiona-
BILE furniture store of G. G. MAUzY. and
examine his extensive stock of common
and easy chairs, sofas. lounges, bedsteads,
mattresses, bureaus, secretaries. book
cases, tables, stands, looking glasses,
glass plate, window shades, &c, at the
corner of Short aud William Streets
Though in the vicinity of the Illinois
penitentiary, yet if you deport yourself
as your own good sense will suggest,
you will have no occasion to isit the es-
Enlistment "by authority" Mr.. Mauzy
has very large building, and every sto-
ry was passed through by us, and found
filed to over6owing. His bills amount
to near s5o,Oo0 year.
But we do not propose that you leave
the city until you visit the furniture
rooms Of A. OLcoTT, on the corner of
Second and State streets. He is whole
sale and retail dealer in fashionable fur
niture, and holds himself ready, at all
times. to supply steamboats,, hotels, Off
ces, school rooms. lodges, and private
dwellings,, with the various articles which
may be demanded in his line. We pass
