veil known ia, oughout the West that be
reeds NO words Of commendahen at cur
hands. His diligence, liberal dealing and
probity have built up business
.stab ishment which has scarcely rival in
he West, for the amount and excellence Of
t. goods. and the RESPONSIVENESS Of its
PRICES. Of late he has ass. .siatsd with
himself gentlemen Of the highest nercan-
lie character and effectiveness. Among
bese we notice Wallace Dalefield, Hq., d
most energetic and courteous gentlcmab,
md Hessrs. jacob N. Heintz and John Bu-
;hanan have been worthily selected IS
partners, for their lohg and satisfactory ser
,ioes ss ctrks. The same remark, Is no
leubt true in regard to the resident partner
n New York, John D. Egbert, ESQ.,, who
las charge Of the business necessarily ioca-
led In that city. In fact. the house is
among he frst in the West. and is .

and publio>spiritsd business policy. For
these qualities we can recommend the n to
our mercantile friends in Iowa.
