Tail0ring-Messrs. Sprague & Co.
Our friends at No. 10 East Fourth street.-the
Messrs. SPRAGUE Co.-have caught the mania
for fine buildings, and to use the current
maxim, seem resolved "to keep up with the
times.' We have it on good authority-that
of Mr.. SPRAGUE himself, than whom there
can be no more authentic nformant--that he
has taken the basement and first and second
floors of that fine building now being erected
by Mr.. W. X. Nixon at the southeast corner of
Fourth and Vine stroets--where he intends to
carry on the wholesale and retail Clothing bust
ness with renewed vigor, but yet on the same
principle which has characterized his mode of
doing business hitherto, namely-to sell every
article at its true value-asking no more and
taking no less.
The front elevation--facing the building of
the Gazette Company-is to be of iron, and the
windows are to be constructed on the model of
those in Carlisle Building. This structure will
measure 80 feet in front (on Fourth street, by
12714 feet on Vine street, directly opposite the
Post office.
All the arrangements of those portions rented
by the Messrs. SPRAGUL & Co. for carrying out,
in the most orderly and effective manner, the
details of the Tailoring and Clothing business,
are parts of the plan upon which the entire
structure is to be built so that the adaptation
of the building for Messrs. SPRAeuE & Co.'s
purposes is not to be an after consideration,
but will be "ready to their hand" as soon as
the builder turns the key in the lock of the
street-door, saying, "the job is completed"
SPRAGUE & Co. will, no doubt, receive the
congratulations of their friends for having se-
cured such prominent situation for their fu-
ture operation in broadcloth and shears, cassi-
meres and thimbles, vestings and needles, and
so on.
1t is true the rent will be something more
than what they have had to pay at No. 10
East Fourth; but then, an addition of hun
dred or q hundred and fifty dollars in the
shape of rent, is of no great account, should
their trade be increased by removing to more
eligible though more expensive situation. The
"Press" is confident that success awaits Mr..
got trade sufficiently large to justify, nay to
compel, him to remove to a more commodious
building, but he feels sure of adding materially
to it by the change he is about to malte-in
short, his calculation is that he will double the
amount of his present sales.
The plan of doing business by this firm is to
mark in plain figures the price of every article
al cash prices; and not to allow any salesman
to deviate from those prices, except in bills of
$50 and over, when discount of five per cent.
will be allowed. Clothing "out of STYLE" they
say, will be sold without regard to cost.
SPRAGUE & Co., we understand, will remove
about the 1st of August.
