CHRISTMAS GRoCBRrEs.-Messrs Thompson
Blacks Son & Co., the wellknown grocers, whose
old-time and well-remembered stand is situated at
the northwest corner OF Broad and Chestnut streets,
where the store has long been associated n every
bodys mind with everything which can at all be
comprehended In the general term OF nne groceries,
have lately completed extensive addition to their
business in the shape OF lne large branch store,
which is In every particular the equal OF the older
house. The proprietors OF the Broad aud Chesnut
streets store which is essentially the old and popular
stand, have perseverIngly and successfully long
maintained their leading position among retail
establishments. In the matter OF location suita-
BILE as 1t Is for q large class OF the community,
they, by the establishment OF a fourishing branch,
have shown that they determined to cater to the
wants OF everybody, without regard to stu alton.
The new stand has been placed at the northwest
corner OF Seventeenth and Arch, to adapt their
facilities to the great n orthwestern growth OF the
city. The branch is now firmly established at this
point and is now doing an imu uense business the
old store being run as before by the same firm, and
without any dimnution In its custom. Both stores
enjoy envable regulations, which is accounted for
by the fact that the stock embraces everything
which everybody WANT, in the best variety. Not
only are the staple articles which every family is
obliged TO have here offered in endless variety, but
the st OF luxuries are also exposed for sale for all
who may care to have them. AS this Is the season
OF tie year when just such articles wanted, 1t is
q natural consequence that the people should buy
them at this establishment, where they are to be
had at reasonable rates. The Christmas dinner table
especially is dependent in great measure upon
the number, variety, and excellence OF the
articles upon It, and many of these articles are to
be had only from what are known grocery stores.
III we wish these groceries, we must go to store
where fine goods are sold, and not where a second
rate article is offered to for as high price as is
charged for the best OF goods elsewhere. Every
housekeeper should remember the name exactly,
Thompson Blacks Son & Co., at Broad and Cnesnut
Streets Seventeenth and Arch streets, Philadel-
pbia.
