Under the head of removal of one
of our large drug stores" the n. 0. Picayune
says:
In the ever varying and constantly
changing scenes of city life, events which in
smaller places would attract considerable at
tention, are almost entirely unnoticed. Com
mercial crashes and crises, individual sue
| oesses and failures and social revolutions,
with a thousand other less important events,
come and go IN one unceasing round without
hardly engaging a passing thought of the
great multitude OF all others, perhaps
whatever directly or indirectly affects the
commercial good or i'll of a city or country
is most important, because ii is to the sue
cess or failure of trade and commerce that
the prosperity of people is chiefly due. 1t
is, therefore, one of the fixed duties of an
impartial journal to jealously watch over
and point out to its readers whatever has a
bearing upon business and commercial in
terests Since the close of the war New
Orleans, in common with nearly all South
ern cities, has displayed wonderful CONNER
cial activity and enterprise. Our business
men are fully alive to the Importance of the
/ work before them-the necessity of prompt
! and decided action, if we would Tesuscitate
! our trade and commerce and make good the
/ losses of the past five years To this end
/ stores and business stands of all kinds have
been renovated and repaired-new estab-
/ liShments have been opened, and every thing
/ in their power has been done by our mer-
/ chants to place themselves upon footing
! commensurate with the commercial i'm
/ portance of our city. They fully appreciate
! that New Orleans has advantages second
/ to none; that her business interests
must be guided and encouraged her
trade resources developed, if she is to
maintain and exercise that influence
which rightfully belongs to her. In
/ tlueuced by these considerations, as much
perhaps by self interest, many of our
merchants have left their old stands and
sought out new and more desirable locations
where, if not already, very soon the princi-
pal trade of our city must centre Among
| tue more recent and important of these re-
movals is that of James CONCEAL, one of our
/ leading and most favorably known drug
! gists, from corner Common and Magazine
streets to 20 st. Charles street. Mr.. G's
new store Is a credit to our city 1t is large,
admirably adapted to the trade and fitted
| up in modern and attractive style. 1t is,
! likewise, completely packed from ground
/ floor to garnet, with one of the completest
and best assorted stocks of drugs chemicals,
| paints, oils glass, dye stutfs, patent medi-
/ cines, wines and liquors, and in fact every
! attendant upon this branch of trade that
! can be found any where in this country,
| while his liberal and satisfactory arrange
ments with importers and manufacturers
| both at the North and in Europe, enable
| him to sell at prices absolutely defying COM
| petition. 1t should be source of satisfac-
| tion to the South that we have such an es-
| tablishment in our midst, while the con-
| tinued presence of the energetic, talented
and courteous proprietor insureS an iEcreas-
ed continuance of that large trade which
distinguished his old stand.
