KAUFMAN.
The Man who SELLS Tobacco, Cigars HHd
Liquors at wholesale EzeIusfveIy.


In speaking OF the merits OF our leading
business houses in the various branches Of
trade, in our last Sundays issue, we inadvert-
entity omitted to mention one of our Oldest
and best established firms, who certainly have
n claim to be elassed among the foremost Of
our wholesale merchants. The Messrs. s.
kaufman & Bro. are among the oldest of our
Memphis merchants, aud have doubtless done
their share toward rendering our beautiful
city one of the most important markets in the
Southwest, theirs being the Oldest established
cigar and tobacco house In Memphis. We
distinctly remember, many years ago, when
We were wont to step into their coy little es-
tablishment at the corner Of Jefferson and
second streets, TO get our daily supply Of the
!" fragrant weed, " and noted With pleasure the
gradual enlargement OF the premises, which
the constantly increasing business OF the firm
rendered imperative. The strict and honora-
BILE policy in business which the house pur-
sued at last made It apparent that their prem
iSes were not sufficiently spacious to transact
the business Of this popular firm, and with
true business tact they leasedthe eommodious
store,
NO. go MAIN STREET, UNDER ODD
FELLOWS, HALL,
which they ntted up in truly magnificent
style, rendering it by far the finest wholesale
tobacco waTerooms in our city. We learn that
the firm have made another enlargement or
their business, in adding to their extensive
stock of cigars and tobacco, a full stock Of
wines and liquors, and entering regularly into
the wholesale liquor business.
The brands of cigars manufactured by this
firm are so numerous, and most Of them are so
well and faYorably known in our city, as well
as throughout the country, that special men
ton of any or all of them would be entirely
unnecessary. The members OF the firm are
thoroughly versed in their line with a knowl-
edge gained by many years experience, and
having concentrated their sole mind upon
their business are now reaping q rich reward
for their constant study to please and satisfy
the wants of their customers. Within their
spacious warerooms may be found tobacco
grown in all parts Of the Union, producing
the best grades of the tweed" and manufac-
tured into ali sorts Of shapes, prominent
among which are the hne old Virginia tobac-
eos, hid look luscious enough to tempt the
palate Of the author Of the immortal book
"Counter-blast of Tobacco"
n THE LIQUOR DEPARTMENT
comprises all the well-knovn brands Of fine
AAoAAN anu bAA - wi CD III CAAAIhAF
goods in this line, and all are OF a hneness and
delioacy Of flavor that has never been sur
passed. This department being in charge OF
a gentleman of extensive experience
is, as we have mentioned, a new feature in
the firms business, and has been supplied
direct from the best and most popular distil-
Ieries in Kentucky and Tennessee. With the
indomitabIe energy, which has ever charac-
terized the firm, they have at once established
connections with the various foreign markets,
whence they draw their supplies OF brandies,
wines, champagnes, etc, OF which they are
now receiving large Invoices. Messrs. Kauf-
man & Bro, recognize the fact, that Memphis
sjust emerging from her infancy, and with
the rich country surrounding her, and rail-
roads branching ont in every direction, thus,
opening facilities TO reach a territory which
has hitherto been almost q terra fneo0ntfdt to
the mercantile world, isdestined at no distant
day to become the great commercial center Of
the South, and they are wisely "making hay
while the sun Shines" and are establishing a !
trade to meet, not only the present wants Of
their many customers, but also the require
ments of the vast amount of business which
necessarily accrue to them with the in
creased growth of our city. s
z Their is no greater evidence of success in
business, then a constant increasing traderand
this new feature in the house of s. kaufman
& Bro, speaks loudly in favor Of the energy,
perseverance and our business tact Of the
firm.
If their past success is any criterion, we
may safely predict a brilliant future for this
one of the oldest and staunehest firms In our
city.
In conclusion we desire to say q word to our
friends in the country, who are about TO visit
city for the purpose Of laying in their fall
stock. Messrs. s.. Kaufman & Bro, are urbane.
liberal gentlemen, who have grown up with
their business, and themselves thoroughly
versed. with all It's details, have sur
themselves with a polite and able
corps of assistants, who delight to show their
friends over their extensive stock of wines,
liquors, cigars, tobacco, cards, ETC., and we are
that a visit TO this spacious estab-
lishment will well repay them for the trouble.
