T. 81 W. EAKIN & Co.-Scarcely has our at

wholesale dry goods establishment ere it is 10.
vited to another. The above well known and
long established firm lie in receipt of by far the
largest stock of goods that it has ever brough,
TO this market. 1t is very complete in variety
and immense in extent, embracing goods of
style and quality known to this department of
trade. A survey of the fabrics upon the load
ed shelves aud grooming counters of these gen.
tlemen, shows the visitor that they are pre-
pared to fill orders to almost any amount, and
furnish a complete assortment of dry goods to
the retail dealer.
The advantages and facilities possessed by
this house in the purchase of goods cannot be
surpassed. Not only is it, from long experts

advantageous purchases, but the senior part
ner resides in the city Of New York, where
he avails himself Of the opportunities offered
of replenishing and keeping up the stock here
at very low prices. Tie result is that supplies
of fine and fashionable goods are constantly
coming forward which can be furnished to the
retail merchant on exceedingly favorable
terms.
With regard to the large increase in the
amount OF goods that this firm as well as
Others have received this fall, there can be
little doubt that all have acted advisedly, pre-
dicating their augmented purchases upon the
experience Of the past year, and the well known
fact that the jobbing business of the West can
be done wih great advantage not only of
themselves but to the retail merchants in this
aud adjoining States. Tha. such is the case is
evident from the fact that considerable num-
Der of jobbiug houses in the large Eastern
cities, have, within the year, gone out Of the
trade. Our mercantile friends in tie coun-
try will hardly fail TO examine the stock
of 7. & w. Eakin d Co., when they are buy
