We should have noticed several weeks ago,
the sale by GEoRGE HALL, of his house and
dot, to Ensign 81. Smith, of Erie, for the sum OF
s., 600, who enters into possession on the first
proxI With this transaction, Mr.. HAIL, one of
our most worthy and respected citizens, closes
his residence in Ashtabula, and becomes citi-
zen OF Cleveland. g The importance of the busi-
ness he has built up here, the reputation he has
acquired as business man, make his removal
from us loss, and his location in Cleveland or
! elsewhere an important acquisition. The wide
| ly extended and intimate acquaintance formed
in the prosecution of his business, and the les
son that may be drawn by young men from the
success that has followed diligence, steadiness
and unwaVering integrity of purpose, are per-
haps good reasons for extending, somewhat, this
notice. Mr.. HALL is native of this county,
where he began the business in which he is now
engaged with no other education than he was
enabled by his own efforts to secure, and with
no other capital than a good name, more than
twenty years ago. OF a sanguine, earnest tenn
permanent, failure was never taken into account,
or found place in his vocabulary. Always
methodical and systematic these qualities were
made prominent in his business, and to them,
accompanied by his uniform fair dealing and
manliness, is tosbe attributed--his present posi-
tion in the business world. Though doing
large business at home, and taking the lead OF
all localcompetitors, he yet thought the field too
limited and set about extending it by the estab-
fshment of branches at prominent points in 9TH
er and adjoining counties. The several branch
es were each overlooked in person, and the re-
suit was an extensive business and social ac-
quaintance and very large trade. After fol
lowing this up for several years, he saw that his
Cleveland branch could be made his general de-
pot, and all the advantage derived from his ac
quaintance and business connections could be
concentrated at that point, his facilities still
more extended, and all the objection of absence
from his family and the Inconvenience and irk-
someness of travel, avoided. Thus he has been
gradually but certainly making one point, and
that an extensive and prominent business point,
where intercourse with his numerous friends
could be continued, anb extended to something
like the measure of his energy and ambition.

in any direction, and orders filed with the ut
most promptness. The conception proved, as
it inevitably must, splendid success Business
has flowed in upon him beyond expectation,
until he has no superior, even if he has rival,
in the great west. His ambition is TO stand
among the very first concerns in the country,
and the satisfaction is already his, that he has
not many heels to tread upon. His shipments,
as he informs us, are made to nearly every state
IN the Union, to the Pacific coast, and indeed,
even to foreign lands. AS the field thus opens
in its expansiveness before him, and with few
rivals to dispute it with him. it requires no eff
fort of imagination to place him at no distant
day, where he aims to stand, at the head of the
musical instrument trade His depot presents
the finest and most costly specimens of all the
different leading manufacturers of the Union
and be is enabled to meet the choice of any
of his customers. Notwithstanding this the
Bradbury instrument is made the speciality |
1t now is among the very best made and its
many excellent points give it preference with |
alarge class of buyers and musical adopts and |
ameteurs. AS this instrument is made thus |
prominent in the piano department, SO, also, |
the Jcwett & Goodman Melodeon and organ, |
occupies the leading place in that department.
No one viii think Of purchasing an instrument
of either description, without examining Mr..
Halls stock, or consulting him by letter in the
premises.
Everything connected with the piano trade,
such as Music, Music Books, Covers, Stools,
&C., is to be found at this establishment No 90
Public Square, Cleveland Ohio. His semi-an
nual advertisement appeared in our columns
last week.
Urgent overtures have been made of late to
induce Mr.. Hall to connect himself as partner I
with the business of Bradbury G. Co., New
York, that he finds it hard to decline, and an
of which, is to say the least, prob
able.
