REDDIcK q GLLEN.-Every few days that
energetic merchant, Mr.. Hugh Gllsn, is obliged
to 60 east for new goods. No matter however
extensive the supply may be, the demand soon
sxhausts it. The firm do not trust to the iudg.
ment Of others, but whenever the occasion re.
quires, Mr. Gillen goes to the eastern markets,
not by an agent but in person,-and makes
his own selections. His long experience as a
buyer; his thorough knowledge of the business
and Of the demand to be supplied, enable him
to buy successfully whatever is needed ia any
branch of his trade.
