The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1863-10-08

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The above caption has no reference to the
contest between political parties, or the au-
tunnal operations of Gen. Rosecrans and the
ornv of the Cumberland, but simply and only
70 the announcement of the fall trade OF the
great wholesale and retail Dry Goods house OF
II 7, Davis & Co. The MeSsrs. Davis have
left +his announcement later than usual, not
because they havenot received their fall goods.
but because they could not, until now, attend
to their customers as they desired to- Their
immense store has been thronged ever since
the first of September. We have had occa-
sion TO speak several times Of the large and
increasing sales of our notwithstanding
ING in the last thirty days to positively double
ever before sold in the same period. Inc eS-
tablishment of which we write is not an eX-
cention. They have sold goods the past three
weeks at the rate of 50, 100000 per annum.
The New York Herald mentions two houses
in Milwaukee that sold respectively $751;
and S12O, 600 worth of goods III one week,
and we think the writer alluded to this house
oe one of the two We well remember when
the Messrs. Davis came here abous SIX years
400 and opened cash dry g00dS store IN
small vyav' 1t was the source OF a great deal
of sympathetic speculation among the MIS-
Grnndy's of the day, whether they could make
a live Of it. They had a little 20 foot store
and employed five or six clerks, but they let
tbe neonle know where they can be found and
wear by year their business increased until
now their sales are ten times what they were
when they commenced; they employ more
than hundred persons in their different de-
partments; and their store room ID over ~
900 square feet packed to the ceiling. 30

the nublic it is not necessary for us to speak,
hut we will mention few items that have
attracted our attention. In dress goods we
hove never seen this stock excelled OIL broad
wav The line of silks is complete, embracing
oil The new colors and shades Of the various
Crrodae from 81. 90 to $500, III blue green, tan
9ooior and fine whole line Of drabs, they have
1ognnsT of natterns that will actually stand
Lone ;, as the ladies say. The heaps OF Win
tor dress goods in all the fashionableta and Der
s;rabIe col0rs-plain, and all those CHOICE stripes
and checks. are astonishing. We must not
FORGET the charming scarlet and blue cloth
clocks that have turned the heads Of half the
Ladies in the city. They have all grades OF
cloth. and make it up to the mode for their Gus
toners Besides, they make cloaks and man
tilIas for the country trade by the hundred ev-
cry week. ed ,ho.
If the people of Wisconsin cannot lind what
thew want in the dry goods houses of Milwau-
kee. then they do not know their wants. AND
as for prices, we have known from daily COM
narison of the two markets, that Mll"aukee
has undersold New York OH all the great sta-
nle goods-for more than year. any co ol u
trv merchant can to-day buy stock OF gooas
in Milwaukee cheaper than in New YORK to
saw nothing of the saving OF freight ana tray
cling expenses-and Davis IS one OF the houses
where it can be done.
