Tns DRf GooDs KINGS or rnE NoRrB-
wEsr.-The Northwest has seen miraculous
changes during the past twenty-five yeass.
The fertile plains heretofore inhabited By
Indians and Buiiioes, are now the domicll
Of millions Of civilized people. The wilder
ness has been ssbdued BY civilization.
Where scarcely half century ago game Of
every description dwelled, there stands nov
large commercial metropolis, with marble
palaces, inhabited by more than 10000
people. We speak ofthe city Of Chicago
one ofthe wonders Of our age. Like this
city, which had 80 wonderful career, many
Of her business men have been likewise iden-
titled with her success, outgrowing any
thing on record. One Of these remarkable,
successful, and renowned Arms are, doubt
less, Messrs. John V. Fsrwell L Co., tho
successors Of the old firm OF Messrs. Cody,
Farwell & Co., who still occupy the old
stand, viz: the five story triple-house, Nos.
AZ, ~ ard 46, Wabash Avenue
1t is admitted by everybody that this firm
has sold more Dry Goods than any other half
dozen houses Of the Northwest put together
IAN ample proof that they enjoy the conf:
dence Of the Dry Goods dealers Of this Sec
ton ofthe country 1t large, our readers will,
therefore, admit that Messrs. John Y. Far
we'll 4 Co., are properly to be termed the
Dry Goods Kings Of the Northwest, like the
lion is termed the king Of the forest.
Mr.. John V. Farwell is now in New York
to watch, as usual, the chances to purchase
cheap for Cash, and the firm will be prepar-
ed to display Spring stock unsurpassed.
While on visit in Chicago, We noticed
that Mcssrs John v. Farwell & Co., were
still, as usual, on the alert for improve.
ments by putting in a steam dummy with
three platforms for the purpose Of facilita-
ting the hosting Of goods to their immense
lofts, and the delivering Of goods. One Of
the curious features Of the store is the i'm
mense packing room under the street and
the neighboring building, IS well ~ the reg
iment Of men employed in invoicing, pack
ing, and shipping goods sold to their numer
Gus customers.
1t would amply repay our readers while
In Chicago, 10 call and judge for themsel-
vts.
We were entirely unprepared to ind such
, mammoth establishment West Of New
York. This is truly aprogressive age.
A LEGITIMATE PETROLEUM CoMPANy.--We
take much pleasure in referring to the ad-
vertisement of the Wyandotte Petroleum
Company, whose general Office is located at
No. 70 West Fourth Street. The incorpo-
rators are among our best citizens, and are
reliable and responsible. The pub
may, therefore. place implicit confidence in
the statements set forth in their card
