CHAPMAN'S MAPS.

We cheerfully call the attention of
our readers to the advertisement Of
Chapman's Sectional Maps Of the
North Western States, and we are
glad to learn that they are meeting
wirh circulation which their merits
80 richly entitle them to. Travellers
and locators Of lands have given them
the preference over all others, and as
actual use is the best test of their &C.
curacy, they are kept in nearly all the
Land Offices for refcrence--in the
Surveyor Generals office at Dubuque
and by the Iowa Railroad in their
surveys and plats. The Dubuque and
Pacific engineers having the map of
Iowa with them, by it made their sur
veyes through the State, without dis
covering single typographical error !!
We doubt if this can be said of a
single other map in the world. We
unhesitatingly commend these maps
to travellers, persons locating lands,
and to eastern dealers in preference to
those thrown upon the public by those
who have no interest in the prosperityof
our State, and whose motive is to get
the most for an inferior article. A
map to be of any use must be accurate,
and these are the only ones having u
just claim to be correct we recommend
them as the only ones worthy of pur-
chase
Messrs. Dyer g. Pasmore, two en-
terprising young men of this city,
have commenced the map and book
business on an extensive
scale. They will publish Chapman's
series of maps, carefully corrected, as
alterations or changes may occur, and
without delay, therefore laying before
the public at all times, guide, as
perfect as the most thorough care,
long experience, and heavy outlay
can accomplish.
They have, also, engaged heavily
in the book publishing business in adj
dition to which they will have for sale
on their counter all the works of the
leading houses at the East, as soon as
with the first newspapers
and magazines Of the country, received /
by express. Blanks of every descrip- |
ton always on hand, or got up at
short notice
Messrs. Dyer g. Pasmore, are also
prepared to publish maps for railroad
companies, new towns, OF additions,
at short notice, and on low terms.
They occupy the rooms formerly occu.
pied by S. Chapman, as map publish
american.
Chapman's Maps are for sale in St. |
Charles by Hildreth & Carver.
