Personal.

S. A, Medary, Esq, of Nashville, son
of the late Governor Medary, of Kansas,
arrived in the city this morning.
Colonel J. W. Eldridge, from Missouri,
called on US this morning, and we are
happy to see he looks quite as young and
energetic as in former ante bellmm days.
His business in our city at this time is to
see what can be done in Memphis in
order to cooperate with the people of
Missouri and Arkansas in building the
Memphis, Springfield and Kansas City
railroad. 1t is evidently an enterprise
worthy of the attention of our people.

We are pleased to see that our largest
and most reliable Wholesale merchants
are fast adopting the course of special
trade pursued 80 advantageously by
heavy dealers in all large cities. Many
have seen the importance of this course,
and are now turning their attention to
the peculiar line of trade in which they
have the most experience, and in
which their success is rendered certain by
their being able to bring readily to bear
On intimate and thorough knowledge of
their business in oil its details and rsmi-
Gcstions They create confidence among
buyers by showing themselves masters
of "the situation" aHd thus succeed at
once in giving permanency 10 the whole
sale trade. Undivided attention to one
branch of business, of course, leads to its
complete mastery on the part of the
dealer, and consequently country mer-
chsnts choose snch houses from which to
make their purchases.
Amongst the large exclusive wholesale
dealers in the city that have taken this
view of the matter, the immense Boot
and Shoe house Of Friedman Brothers,
295 Main street, stands most prominent.
They now deal exclusively in the two in
separable articles aboye mentioned, and
in order to give their particular branch
of the Wholesale trade that stability and
prominence necessary to make Mem
phis a wholesale market in fact, they
have recently purchased with great
trouble and care, and immense outlay of
capital, one of the heaviest stocks Of
5oots and shoes ever put upon any mar
ket outside of New York or Boston. In
idea of this heavy stock may be formed
from the statement that their large four
story building is inadequate to its storage,
ans they are thus compelled to. leave
several hundred sesss in the warehouses.
Messrs. Friedman Brothers ore BUSH
meas man in the true sense OF the
word, possessing the advantage of long
and sue eessfui experiences, enlarged and
commemorative views Of trade. They
have made Boots and Shoes a specially,
and through their unprecedented heavy
investment, they feel assured of their
entire ability to success,""''v CON-
pete with any eastern market in
stock, styles or prices. They only
ask merchandise whom they sell ex-
clusively-,o give them call, as they are
confident Of securing their trade by the
SUPERIOR inducements they are ready to
offer.
Mr.. 1. N. Snowden, well and favorably
known in this city as long aud expert
euced boot and shoe merchant, is con-
nected with the house, and will take
pleasure in showing their very extensive
stock TO any Of his friends or customers
that may call on them. II merchants in
the county but call they will at once see
that we have not ovsrs,ated the matter.

Sensible and Substantial Merchants.
We rather like advance movements in
allindustrial and business pursuits, and
would not be understood ss trying to re-
press in any way Q proper spirit of pro-
gress manifested in any class Of business
On the other hand, however, we cannot
fail to admire the sound, sober and safe
judgment shown on all occasions by
those longest engaged in trade. The
large Wholesale house Of W. R, Moore Il
Co., 299 Main street. has ever been con-
Quoted on such principles. Mr.. Moore,
the senior partner. is eminently conser-
vative in his views on all subjects,
and never was known to jump hastily to
conclusions, but always TO wait for full
and satisfactory developments before
taking any step forward. Long expert
ence has rendered him careful and eau
tious in making purchases Of stock, and
equally so in disposing of them after
they are made. When others, in times
past, would deIuge the country with
shrewd, loquacious and often unscrupu-
lous agents, he quietly abided his time
and sent out only such men as he could
most implicitly trust. both as to judg-
ment and truthfulness. he maintains
the same position yet, and effects no sales
through tempting inducements beyond
what his very large, well assorted stock
and prices would of themselves accom-
plish, after they are carefully examined
by the purchaser. He claims that an
agent possessing the gift Of CAB may fairly
carry away the merchants Judgment by
storm, and all purchases made under
such circumstances are never made with
thorough consideration of contingent
cies likely to arise, and frequently turn
out to be mere hap-hszard ventures, and
not unfrequently result in injury to the
country merchant He further main
tains that if sales of goods are equal to
the representation, and the country mer-
chant prove equal to proper and profit
able management of his stock, then a
genuine and satisfactory sale has been
effected, which will result in future and
permanent benefit to the wholesale
business of the entire city. But if points
are made on the buyer from the country,
which he may not at the time clearly
understand, and for the successful man
agement of which he may not be fully
capacitated, and if he fail to achieve
sales and profits satisfactory, he will
most inevitably come to the conclusion
that lie has been swindled somehow, and
will thereafter give not only the house,
but even the city, in which the sale was
effected, wide berth. Such trsnsac-
tions are mere experiments, and if I'M
successful, result in absolute injury to
those that were in nowise responsible.
Mr.. Moore has always most thoroughly
deprecated such q course, and if any
trade has ever been Lost to Memphis,
through transactions of the character
above mentioned, none of the blame can
be laid at his door. Merchants are re-
quested to read his advertisement, which
will be found in to-day's LEDGER, and il
conditions there laid down suit, then an
examination of stock and prices is all
they ask of those desiring to purchase.
