The enterprising wholesale establishments of
Knoxville are giving the city an enviiable rep
utation as a commercial center. OF the houses
that have contributed TO this almost national
reputation that Knoxville enjoys, that OF 4. j
Sanford & Co., wholesale druggists, deserves to
rank among the very foremost. This hrm nave

third floors are used for storing the immense
stock of the hundreds of articles wholesal drug
gists keep in store. 1t would require too much
space here to enumerate these articles, but they
embrace everything handled in their trade.
THEIR PRoPRIEToRY MEDICINES.
One of the leading features of the business of
this house, is the large list of medicines for
which they are sole prOprietors. These medl-
cines, familiarity and fayorably known all
through this section as Dr. Harris, are prepared
in large quantities, and with great care, in the
labratory above described. DR.. o. f. Hill, for
extensive practice in this city, devotes his en-
tire attention to the general Supervision of the
medicinal department of the establishment.
Under his general direction, and with the spec
ial skill and professional requirement of Mr..
Herman, the preparations of Messrs: Sanford y
Co., are certain to be of the best kind. Their
medicines Harris Great Relief, Harris Rub
Hard Liniment, Lytles EliXer, Damon's Stock
Powders, &c, &c, are fast growing in favor,
and their new and enlarged facilities for manu-
facture will certainly be fully tested.
THEIR FACILITIES FOR BUSINESS.

the rapidly increasing demands made upon
them, by customers extending over n country
