Sul.Lps' N. q. Tyre ForrrrR7.-While in
New Orleans a short time since, says the
| Plunfer's Bunnry, we had the pleasure Of
being shown through the entire warehouse
of Mr.. Thos. II. Shields. 6e Gravier street,
and were not a little surprised to find It one
of the most complete establishments OF the
kind in the South.
The second floor OF the building is nscd for
Tie sa,esronr. and is fitted up with h,uch
taste. IT, this room we found a large stock
Of fancy aud Roman type, ornaments, b"r-

thing used bv the printer. In the rear por-
ton OF the same room we We're shown a large
and well-selected stock Of job printing paper,
such as note. letter. commercial and packet
post. fnolscap, flat zap, ruled bill head, DENY,
medium: royal, coIond pc. ter, cover paper,
fancy note paper, and a variety of other
printing paper. the names OF Which W. do
not now remember besides q large variety
of white and colored cards. and card boards,
fancy ball and invitation cards, fancy glazed
papers. and many othe fancy articles too nu-
merous to mention.
Ascending to the next floor. we found five
or six hundred bundles OF newspaper Of all
sizes aud qualities. as well as a good supply
of book paper. We also found III this room
a number OF Ruggses' card and job presses,
Hos Washington hand press, Gurdon's new
Franklin job presses, and Ada-s' celebrated
Alligator presses. Still higher up, in the
fourth story, We found card and paper cut
tiers, cabinets, stands, cases, glue, book and
news INK. and a number OF other things nee
.ssarY in a p hitting office.
We were happy to learn from Mr.. Shields
that the printers of the South appreciate his
efforts to build up an establishment We have
all lelt the need OF for a number of years
past; for he Informed us tina: in the last six
months his busine S had increased more than
double what it was the year preceding. This
is as it should be tor. independent of his
good business qualities, everybody who has
ever dealt with him Will bear US out in the
assertion that Io,a Shields is a real clever
fellow. We commend his establishment to
all IN want Of anything in his line.
