ANIMPoRTANT ADDITION TO TIE STORY BUILDING.
Every body in town Is familiar with the building,
now approaching completion, at the corner of Camp
and Common streets the basement Of which is soon
to be consecrated as temple Of fashion by tina
clearinghouse Of countrywide fame, Alfred Munroe
& Company. The Story Building,' for such ia its
name, is sort of cross between house and cry stal
palace the only entire structure Of iron and glass in
New Orleans the loitiest and beyond all question
the most beautiful and airy commercial edEce in the
Southern country; building which will long bea
pride to the city, and object of admiration to visit
ing strangers.
The building being SO perfect in all respects as
building, our readers will naturally expect to know
what we mean when we speak OF an important addi-
ton being made to it, We do not mean any sructur al
improvement, for that would be impossible; we mean,
if not literally an improvement great acquisition so
far as concerns the occupancy Of the upper stories of
the Story Building. That popular and time.honored
educational institution, SO long Of the prominen
cies Of Canal street, Dolbears Commercial College,
will hereafter adorn and inteectuaze the upper part
Of the building SO that it may be well styled twin
temple Of fashion and learning superficial or per-
sonal adornment to be acquired in the clothing store
below, and actual or intellectual adornment to be
gained in the college above.
Of the great value of Dolbears Commercial College
to the city and the State and to the Southern country
we need notspeak at length Foryears it has pursued
the quiet tenor of its way, imparting to youn
men all that instruction which leads To success in
commercial life such as penmanship, bookkeeping
in all its branches mathematics, and the modern Ian
guages each branch Of education taught separately
from the other separate apartments by experinced
professors the division Of time such that man ma
study all the branches as be sees proper the
system in every respect perfect and admirable, and
the satisfaction Of all who attend invariably complete.
The College was founded twenty.seven years ago !;
and since then it has been sending forth regu-
lar succession Of young men, who, with their good
education, and beginning rightly, at the bottom of
the ladder, clerks and ookkeepers have risen to
situations of honor and eminence in the commercial
world, and in many cases to that competency and
wealth which constitute the aim of all who embark
in commercial life. 1t is not unfair computation
to state that at least two thousand of the former pupils
of Dolbear's Commercial College are now engaged in
lucrative business, in this city and the surrounding
country.
Such an institution this should have all the ad.
vantages of central situation, convenience in its
educational arrangements, and general airness com
fort and safety. All these requisites are happily
blended in the Story Building if Mr.. Dolbear had
himself built it purpose for college, he could not
have made it suit better. His college will add to th
reputation and fame of the building, already famo
as chef d'euure of architectural beauty and modern
| improvement.
The college rooms have entrances on both Camp
and Common streets. The public, and young me
in particular, who may not be perfect in their com
mercial requirements, will do well to go and take
look at the College in its new locality.
