CAIRO FURNITURE AND MATTRESS
MANDATORY.

Itisa matter of pride and satisfaction
to all interested in the growth of the city,
that this extensive establishment, so prom
inent an object amongst our city's i'm.
provements, has, for some short time past,
resumed operations with renewed vigor,
under the propriertorship Of Mr.. William
Eichhof our enterprising fellow-towns-
man.
Encourage home mauufa ctures' is the
text from which THE BULLETIN has
held forth many energetic appeals, which
have been attended with good effect and
now, once more it calls upon Cairoites to
| act to the fullest extent upon this injunc-
ton not only on them. but likewise upon
neighboring towns and our country cous-
ms, as we'll as upon Southern dealers, to
examine the work done and the price at
which it is done at this Ane factory, before
going elsewhere.
In order to make as widely known as
possible, the character and capacity of the
Cairo Furniture and Mattress factory, we
visited the establishment yesterday, and
now propose to lay some of the particulars
so obtained before our numerous readers.
In the first place, then, let it be under
stood, that Mr.. VIM. Eichhof, sole propri-
etor, is Arst-class artisan, employing in
the various branches of his business none
but skilled mechanics, scarcely second to
himself; the work turned out by them az
fords ample proof Of this statement
There is not, probably, u factory this side
of New York, capable Of turning out ,
larger quantity of work of such superb
finish, than the one under considerati oil
In the largest and best supplied ware
rooms of st. Louis and Chicago can b,
found no specimens Of more elegant furni
ture, and at prices which defy competition

, Mr.. 4. Is we'll known to be an uprigh,
prompt, business man, and pays persona
attention to each department Of his extern
sive business.
We noticed, a large number Of mattress
es; this branch OF the business is to be ex,
tended on large scale.
. We cannot better conclude this we'll de
served notice, than by recommending in
tending purchasers OF furniture, whether
residents Of Southern Illinoins or of rive
ports, to come and see for themselves; snt
then, instead Of sending of to st. Louis
Chicago, or Canada for furniture--an un
a economical act Of folly--they will leav
