by careful managsnent, BY keeping excellent
goods, and doing their work in the be1t poss-
IDLE manner, By : legitimate trade and their
popular address, established themsslvss in
public favor and built ups large and prosper
Gus business. Here We found shelves, draw
ers and tables filled full and piled high with
clothing and dress goods for the spring and
summer trade. We found all hands busy in
the manufacture of clothing to order. Nessrs.
v. l. J. have won fairly for themselves their
present prosperity and success. We are glad
that they have it, and hope it may continue
and constantly grow.
Passing out the north side of Main to
Sixth, we come to the new house of Ros-
ENTAIL h BRo., recently come to the city.
They brought with them . good stock of
goods, which they keep fully replenished.-
The gentlemanly proprietors devote them
selves to pleasing and giving satisfaction to
their patrons, and their growing trade proves
that they are successful therein.
Crossing Main street we pursue our inyes-
LEGATIONS upon the south side.
First we have the house of L. SOLOMON,
and further down the popular house of r.
VoGEL. Then we come to the extensive
house of HESS, STERN 4 Co., corner of Main
and Second streets. Fitting up last season
this store, which fronts upon both the streets,
and adapting it to the demands Of theirtrade,
they have made their establishment credit
to the city, and furnish fine illustration of
the growing importance of the business of
the place. We may add, too, as in the case
Of VExcILL l. JoNEs, their prosperity shows
the utility Of liberal advertising. They are
provided, for the seasons trade, with a very
large stock and are constantly in receipt of
additions thereto.
In their store below First street, STERN
BRorHERs have gotten into their new house,
with full stock, and are driving at that old
land new stand their usual thriving trade.
In this connection we may name Mr.. Nc
EvIrT, CLARK l. FRAZIER, and c. HIKES, as
popular merchant tailors, who are doing a
prosperous business.
The transition is easy to more inviting de-
partment. A department Of rare
flowers that are the products of femi-
nine taste and handicraft; Of beautiful
ribbons and gay apparel, and the
loveliest and smallest Of those pretty nothings
misnamed bonnets. A department Of things
| dear to the sex as the latest creations Of
| Fashion and the supreme admiration Of Mrs.
GRUMPY. Ifamong all our city fair there
were any FLORA McFLIMsIEs-but of course
there are not-they would have no occasion
to indulge in repinings about having nothing
to wear'-that is if parental McFLlxsY mas.
culine will "down with the dust" Our mil
linery establishments offer sufficient attrac-
tons to fill the measure of the taste, delight
the heart, and supply the wants Of all the
Miss FLoRAs.
| At her new and handsome rooms on the
North side of Main, just above Second, Miss
King keeps, to supply the requirements Of
her lady patrons, full, beautiful and care
fully selected stock of millinery, dress goods
and notions. Having supplied the lah dies Of
the city, for some nine years, with the goods
| of their choice, she has made by her expe
rience, her house favorite millinery institu.
ton.
A few doors beyond is the store of Mrs. r.
A. Fry, who has fine stock of millinery
goods, does her work in admirable style, has
a large number Of patrons, and invariably
pleases them.
Further along we have the well-known and
popular store of Mrs. Williamson.
Crossing Third street, the millinery and DRY
goods establishment of p. j. Talon attracts
us as it does vast many others. Mr. Tai
lon has long been in business in our city,
keeps excellent goods, has them tastefully
and elegantly manufactured, keeps we'll up
with all the latest styles, has made his house
very popular, and has a large trade.
Deserving much commentator and more
extended notice than our space permits US te
| give them, are the houses Of Mrs. Crowle 4
Bowman, on Third street, and Madame Vel
Ter, on Second street, and Mrs. Holmes, OF
Fourth street, and others probably whom We
have omitted, but who minister unto the fash.
| lonable demands of our ladies.
