tho steam engine 90 by "a feet The brick
work was done by Anthony Finn and thu
carpenter work by John Pierce. The vine
gar manufactured by this firm 10 made from
barley malt, is pure article and entirely
free from any deleterious matter It is guar
anteed to keep pickles as we'll, and perhapi
better, than any cider vinegar in tho market
We are pleased to note the erection of thi
building, not only because it is an ornamen
fta ut .r
city, but because it is an evidence of the on
ward progress of our business interests, an,
affords our housekeepers an opportunity tt
procure pure and healthy vinegar for tn,
table at home, at a low price We trus
that these gentlemen will meet with a liberia
encouragement from our merchants. NJ
one has any cause to goabroad for this mucl
needed article, when they can purchase i
here on more favorable terms than elsewhere
and at the same time save tho cost OF trans
portation. Wilmington is entering upon
new era in her business prosperity, and W,
hope that this establishment is but the pre-
cursor OF numerous others for the introduc
tlon of new species of commerce into GU
market that has hitherto been procured iron
abroad.
