RTH BUSINESS
HOUSES.


LeavenWorth, the metropolis of Kansas. for
the purpose Of procuring some advertising
patronage for our paper, and also to make
the acquaintance of the business men and
others. The time was very pleasantly and
probably spent by US. the latter of which
our columns will show. Business was new
er better in Leavenworth than it has been
this spring. We found many new houses,
filed from cellar to garrett. and most of the
old, long established ones enlarged, all of
which were doing q thriving trade. We
heard of days and weeks sales by some
of the houses. the figures of which we
cannot give. but which were astonishing.
Leavenworth is established as the great
trading point of this State, and also large
portion of Missouri and Colorado. There
is nothing in the way of her rapid growth
and development, as one of the fret cities
in the West in commerce, and all the
branches of industry.
We shall give brief notice of those of
the Leavenworth merchants and business
men, who know the value of advertising.
and have extended their patronage to US SO
literally.
4. c. BRANT & CO.,
Dealers in fancy and staple dry goods, at
wholesale and retail, No. so, Delaware
street. This is a new house just opened in
Leavenworth, with heavy capital, to do
an extensive dry goods business, and have
facilities for purchasing goods at the East,
which are not surpassed in Leavenworth.
One of the partners is an old successful
merchant of New York, who makes 1t his
business to watch the market and buy
goods, while the other may always be found
in the house at Leavenworth. r. G. Brant
needs no introduction to the people here.
He formerly resided here, and has nu-
merous host of friends in this section of
country. Our business men, and the peo
pie generally, will consult their interests by
calling at this house when they visit Leav-
enworth.
SEARS & EARLE,
Wholesale and retail boot and shoe house,
No. ~, Delaware street. These gentlemen
have heavy stock in their line. They
deal extensively in boots and shoes, buy
their stocks directly from the Eastern man
ufacturies, and of course are prepared to
sell large bills of goods for very small
sum of money. They have had long expert
ence in the boot and shoe trade, and do a
jobbing business at such rates that cannot
fail to suit the merchants of this section of
country. We advise our people to give
Messrs. Sears & Earle a call when they go
to Leavenworth, look at their goods, and
make the acquaintance of two of the finest
young men in that city. See their adVer-
tisement.
8. FEcHHEIMER & CO.,
Dealers in ready made clothing, gents fur
nishing goods, boots and shoes, hats and
caps, and notions, No. SO, Main street.
This is one of the largest establishments of
the kind in the West. They manufacture
their own goods in the Eastern cities, and
possess faculties unsurpassed for doing a
jobbing business with our traders. We
hope they may get good share of patron
age from this region, as We believe they
are deserving. They have an advertise
ment in to-day's paper.
H. W. GILLETT & Co.,
Wholesale dealers in wines, liquors and
cigars, at No. 81, Main street. This is
the largest rectifying house in Kansas.
