street, corner of Third, were purchased by
Hon. w. P. Kellogg, one of the Representa-
tives of Louisiana in the United States Sem
ate.
1t will be seen that in jefferson City
their sales are chiefly in the vicinity of ST.
Charles street, though they make very con-
siderable sales somewhat remote from the
| line OF that street, both in Jefferson and
New Orleans.
The tact and energy displayed
by this firm, which is evident by
the conspicuous exhibition of pla-
cards in the front of their establish
ment announcing properties for sale and
for rent IN this and other parishes of Lou
isiana, and which is also evident by the
advertisements which occasionally appear
in the New Orleans papers, entities them
to most favorable consideration.
Whoever has the courage, energy aud
good judgement to strike out from the
beaten track the ancient style of trans
acting business in this city-whether
it be a dealer in real estate, a
caterer ia public amusements, manufac-
urer OF brooms, the builder OF an elevator,
or the publisher OF five cent newspaper,
deserves recognition from the people.
innovation, progress, energy, activity,
work. is what the South needs and what
this city needs. A friend of Senator Kel.
logg has a photograph of the dwelling
mousse and Immediate surroundings on the
estate he lately purchased, and
under the direction of Messrs. Ro-
binson q Alston, another Photographic
picture ofa beautiful house not far from that
vicinity, has been made to send North to a
gentleman who proposes to purchase the
property on which it is located.
The new citizens of New Orleans who
came from the North are by no means des-
titute of capital, and many of them are
investing in small estates in this city aRd
vicinity. They naturally seek the best
sources of information in their researches
for profitable investments.
They should go to Robinson 4, Aston
and carefully examine their lists of proper
ties, amounting, we should imagine, to be-
tween two and three million of dollars.
They have the reputation OF being honora-
BILE and fair dealing business men, and
have it in their power to offer splendid bar
gains to purchasers.
Judge Kellogg, in his judicious par
chases of real estate, has set an example
for other men from the North to follow
who should embrace an early opportunity
to secure valuable interest in the soil o.
Louisiana, and thus silence the silly clamol
against Northern adventurers.
