Tho most noticeable change which has
taken place of late years, in any department
Of business, in this place, is perhaps that
among our merchants and mechanics, or
more properly, in some Instances, manufac-
turers. Not many years ago It was no I'M
common thing to leave Bel Air, if you were
in want Of almost the scommonest article of
merchandise, for the simple reason that il
il was ever kept atall, those who professed to
supply It were as often without it as with it.
This can no longer be said Of our merchants,
who are now active and enterprising men,
Our stores are kept well filed With eve
ryarticle needed in family, and Is q conse-
iquence, trips of eight or ten miles to other
neighborhood stores are no logger known.
One who had been absent for ten years,
would on entering our stores be quite sur
prissd To see The marked change which has
taken place, in the quantity and quality OF
the goods which now fill the large and well
lighted and ventilated rooms of our store
keepers. We scarcely pass q week that some
OF our merchants are not adding new and
useful improvements, all ofwhich are well
calculated TO and do increase their business.
Not long since our enterprising friend,
isaac Amos DUH an addition TO his store
house, which not only greatly improves the
appearance of bis building. but increases his
facilities for business. The business which
mf. Amos mas embarked IN, Is OF the nrst
importance TO the people OF this neighbor-
hood, His supply Of iron, hardware, hollow
ware, stoves and agricultural implements is
large and varied, and his 10 just the establish

we observe that on tho northwest corner
o. MAN street and Fort Deposit Avenue, OPP
posite Mr. Amos, a. H.Greenfeld, who never
long remains behind anybody, has made o
most excellent and handsome Improvement,
py removing the oid-fashioped doors and
windows OF his store and replacing them with
those OF newer style and better suited to the
demands of his extensive and growing bust
ness. Instead ofthe old cramped front door
OF other days, ne has handsome, well de-
signcd double glass door at the entrance, and
- place Of the old-tiped 9 by 10 lights, he has
MS windows hlled with glass Of Large size,
all which add greatly to the appearance of
his already handsome establishment
Further up Main street Moore q Norris

about their establishment To give an idea
