Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-10-29
WHoLEsALE.
Anew Branch Of Business Country Mer-
chants and others will take Notice.

1t has been q continuous source OF com
plant with merchants from the country
that when they come to Memphis to I'LL q
bill Of goods, they can purchase just &c
much and no more; that they can buy ali
they want of hats and caps, boots and
shoes, millinery, cotton goods, domestics
and woolen goods, but neither velvets nor
silks, Ane muslins or dress goods, or any
OF the lingerie, which women love more
than they do dress itself. The want oi
a store where this chssaeter Of goods could
be had at wholesale, has been felt as a
great drawback by ell our wholesale
houses, and Invitations have been
time and again extended to mer-
chants and capitalists In other cities
to come here and invest, with promises
from responsible parties of SUCCESS, or
damages In case of failure. The fiattering
prospects thus held out to strangers has
at last captured one of our own old houses.
Seessel & Son will take the chances. They
have announced themselves determined
TO go into the wholesale trade, and have
for two weeks been very busy selling out
their immense retail stock, with a view to
the completion of preparations necessary
before, what We hope will be prosperous
future, can be entered upon. They have
offered, and are now offering, extra in
ducements to buyers, and among other
things have set on foot q scheme
of ehancs in which all pur-
chssers of goods will share. Of
course, this is resulting in immense
sales. Seesel & Son are overrun and have
been. They are selling a splendid lot Of
dress and dry and woolen goods at prices
that the lsdies cannot match. Hence the
thirty or more clerks of this admirably
conducted store have been, as the common
saying is, "&1n to DEATH" They COM
mence at eight in tho morning and wait
upon customers until five in the evening.
A stock of over $500 900 worth must bs
sold before the first of January next, on
which day this old and stsunch house pro-
poses to commence the wholesale trade,
selling only the finer quality Of goods,
such as silks, velvets, linens, muslins,
hosiery and dry goods and woolens, as
well as scaris, trimmings, ribbons, and
generally everything that csn be found in
a well regulsted, well conducted, and
well supplied wholesale store of the frat
clsss. We are glsd that Seessel q Son
have embarked in this enterprise. For |
their own sakes, since we believe they |
will be permanently successful; and for |
the sake Of the city, bec=use we believe |
they will be the means OF securing larger |
increase Of trade to Memphis than the |
81, 600, coo or more which they propose to !
sell per annum. They will be able 10 sat-
lsfy every demand Of q country retail |
dealer, just as well aud at prices as low,
cost and freight added, as can be arranged |
for in New York. We bespeak for Seessel
& Son the help of the community in
this now venture, and we ask for them,
on the part of our country friends, such |
an extension Of custom as will justify the
predictions Of the APPEAL that Seessel d |
Son are destined to lead in the wholesale |
dry goods trade Of Memphis. One of the
oldest and most honorable Of the dry |
sools firms of the Mississippi valley,
whose name is q syncnyme OF integrity,
We regard it ss one of the stsunchest pill
ars of Memphis prosperity.
