The Trade Advantages of Evansville
"A Feature not Fully Known.

We find in the Bowling Green (Ky.)
Democrat the following letter, which
presents to our Kentucky neighbors
the advantages of trading in this city.
Some of these advantages are we'll
understood: but the especial facili-
ties offered, as represented in the
last paragraph, are not generally
known. We publish the letter en-
tire, as interesting reading to our
merchants, and for the information OF
the public: 2
EVANSVILLE, IND, July 19, 1867.
Editors Democrat:
Believing that useful information
cannot be otherwise than acceptable
to your readers, | propose, through
your columns, to call attention to a
few of the many advantages pos
sessed by your neighboring Hoosier
city, Evansville, for supplying the
wants Of the Green River country.
In the purchase of goods or mer
chandise of any kind, the two most
important considerations are their
cost aad the cost of transportation.
1t is an universally conceded fact that
the river presents great advantages
over railroads for the transportation
of all heavy merchandise and articles
peculiarly liable to breakage, which
will be fully appreciated by every ex-
perienced business man
Evansville is but two hundred
miles from your city, only half the
distance by river to Louisville, with
two regular Bowling Green packets
each week, thus enabling your mer-
chants to receive their freight from
here by river in much quicker time,
at less rates, and with much less
handling than from any other city,
while Ourw hOlesale merchants guaran
tee prices as low as Louisville or Gin
cinnati. We're these advantages duly
appreciated by your business men |
think they should at least induce a
fair trial OF our market by those par
ties who have heretofore done their
business with our rivals-L0ulsvllle
and Cincinnati.
Evansville not only possesses pecu
liar facilities for supplying the de-
mands Of your dealers. but also pre-
sents first class market for every
article of produce which your farmers
may have for sale-tobacco, corn,
wheat, oats. bacon. lard, and in fact
everything produced in the Green
River country finds here ready sale
at prices to compare favoIably with
any market to which you have access,
while the transportation on such pro-
duce to this place. Is much less than
to any other city. 1t is quite true
that in the past but little attention
has been paid to the sale of your lead
ing staple here, but our business men
are now thoroughly awake to the vast
advantages of such trade and are de-
