N A S Ell WILL E
WHOLESALE DRY Goods.

Another busy season is about commencing, and,
as has been the case for several years, houses
presenting themselves for their share of the
trade showing that this particular branch Of bust
ness is increasing with astonishing rspidity. Nash
vile, from its central position in a country than
which none is more fertile, will command trade
which can never decrease and if we are not greatly
mistaken, a trade which will increase more rapid
in years to come, than it has done in years past
The extensive warehouses which are yearly beauti-
flying our city, speak more pOintedly than can any
words of ours on this point This season the whole
sale merchants present unusual inducements to the
buyer, and the number Of retail merchants who
viii go North for their goods will be STEW and far
between" We think no one will attempt to contro-
vert opinion when say that Nashville can and
does hold out greater inducements to the merchants
in the surrounding country than be found in any
city of the North. Our merchants buy in enormous
quantities from first hands, thereby saving all the
profits which are paid to the different Eastern Job.
bling Houses through whose hands the goods pass
before the Retailer can get look at them, and
when the expense of trip to New York or Phila-
depha is added to the cost of small stock of goods
1t makes the profits grow " small by degrees and
beautifully less" We think it q very plain case
that the merchant who buys his goods in Nashville,
saves the amount Of profit paid to the Eastern job
bing Houses and the expense Of journey North,
and it is candid opinion that in less than two
years it will be hard to find Retail merchant
going North for the purpose of buying goods as it
will be to find real live Nothing.
The Fall impOrtatiOns are arriving daily, and the
different establishments being rapidly filed up
with everything that is needed to make up the Re-
tailer's Fall and Winter stock.
= We were yesterday shown through the extensive
and magnificent house of MORGAN Co., whose Fall
purchases have nearly all arrived and been arranged
for inspection. This firm was established in 1880,
and has been in successful operation ever since
With experience of over quarter of century,
they know "every rope in the ship" and by conin-
ued and untring energy, have gained a reputation,
which, by the of business is much more valued
than fine gold. The members of this firm are too
well known to the trading public to require any
tice from us but if there are any of readers who
this buying their first stock in Nashville
we can assure them that they cannot spend their
time more probably than in examination of their
stock. This firm the first to erect the style of
building which now grace our Public Square
Wholesale Dry Goods Houses, and pioneers in
this good work they deserve not only the extensive
patronage they are receiving, but the warmest
thanks of every interested in the onward march
of Nashville in a commercial point of view.
To pretend to enumerate the articles which make
up their greater-than-ever stock, would be task
which we unable to perform, but when we say
that the four stories of their magnificent store (be-
side he basement, which is filled with heavy goods)
eramsd with all the novelties of the season. the
reader form idea of their enormous stock.
Nothing in the line of Dry Goods can be called for |
which is not in store, and the third floor be
found the finest assortment of Ready Made Clothing
We have seen. They the sole agents for |
the sale of the goods manufactured by the Rchland
Manufacturing Company of Pulaski, Tenn, which |
have gained the reputation of being the A. No. |
of the market. They consist of Sheetings, Osna- |
burgs Drills Linseys, jeans &c. articles for which
there is always an increasing demand. This prac-
teal demonstration of the great principles of home
panufacture glad to see and hope to 9TH |
ers initiating so worthy an example.
Merchants who have heretofore purchased in this |
market know this house, and will examine their |
stock. Those who making their experimental |
purchases this Fall, will, if they study their own
interest follow the example of the older buyers and
give them a call also. If they well pleased
with their examination as we were yesterday they
will be well repaid for their trouble, even if they
make no purchases but if any one who has the most
remote idea of buying go through the entire |
establishment without selecting stock Of goods, he
will perform a feat which now seems to next to |
an impossbility.
