Outfits for the Cold ReEions...Mtstaken
Policy OF Chicago Dealers.
There can be no doubt that large number Of
nea from all parts OF the country ate about to
start for the new gold alds On the had waters sf
the Platte. The vanguard of the immense crowd
is afrea1y tat On the way. As to the chances Of
success re have nsyer Tenturad an opinion. NE
have published facts just as we found them, and
left each one of our readers to ast upon his own
judgment Is public journalists ~e could do no
less, ard re have not felt at liberty to do more.
1t is matter cf regret thas cur tnascbauts md
manufacturers have not accepted the fact Of the
emtgtatton. Had they done this, and made the
proper efforts to secure their sha re Of the trtde,
they might have pzo6ted largely BY It. We pub
1shed few days 1.uec list Of articles necessary
for an outtit. and ne republish it this morning.
We have told our readers that al these articles
could be purchased here cheaper, by more tEah
The ralwny freight to J"wa Git9. Ottumwa and St.
Joseph, ard VT afe satisfied that our assertions
8e:e correct. But re hive not thought it to b.
our duty to depote our editorial columns from day
to day to tell our readers Ehere those articles
can be found That1 e7aerly belongs to our nd.
versising department, AeArs* EatoR and Abby
have from the first advafh&s ress Is. etaS,
ammunition, &C., aud they are having 1leey nd
trade. They have a 1arge and an excellent ash
sortment ut moderate prices, and they have also
added o,}.er articles not usually sold BY them
for tho sake of accommodating their customers;
bot there il q great variety Of Quitting articles
see list in another column-which would be
purchased in this city did eus!omers know cx-
aotly where to lind them. 70 accommodate our
dealers who may wish to try the experiment,
re will, If desired. devote asanuch Of our adver-
tising columns as msy be necessary, for some
time to coms. headed 'Pjke's Peak out6ss,"
under which We will place all advertisements in
this line. Thcse advertisements should en-.
b.sce sll tho artic1es in the ilst above referred
to, and u many mora as the fancy Of customers
viii be- likely to require.
In taking with some Of our intelligent mer.
chants Oh this subject, ne were sorry to fud
that large proportion Of this trade il going
from our own immediate vicinity to Bt- Louis.
That city ia having large snd lucrative trads
with tho efnigrants to tho mines, to portion,
perhaps to majority Of which she il entitled
but it surely becomes our dealers to secure I'LL
sbe advantages they can from this emigration.
The gentlemen ADORE slluded to told Us, that at
las: advicss st. Loris bud sold thirty steam saw
mills dcsticed for the lead waters Of the Platte.
Chicago, we beliess, has said two. If the trade
in other respacts has breu nnd continues to be
in the Same proportion, it will be mairly the
fault Of our OWE merchants und manufacturers
The facilities afforded bg the three principal
io*s railroads, snd especially The Burlington
aud Quincy aod the Hannibal aud St. Joseph
roads, together with The reasonable rstes at
which outfits cau be furnithsd hers, if proper
exertions wsra made, entisle our city to large
portion OF this Western trade. Iustesd. :here+
toro, {" crying huubug, let our snterprising CIT.
izens adverlise and use every o:ber Legitimate
means 10 accommodate Ind profit by this rnove-
meat Of the peopls westward to the land Of
gold.
