In 1866. Adams & Bro, At No. SOC Market
strest. we're young men just starting In business,
with capital of only s750., which vas nearly Ill
absorbed in fixing mp the store which they now
occupy. From THE small beginning, they have
pursued the oven tenor OF their way, until thsy
not only occupy, the original store. but part
OF the adjoining building. In which Ferris 4
CARROTS establishment lie located From e760 ,
In 1866, these young men now have q stock ON
hand. OF not less than e16 COO Ia value.
Through all the fluctuations Of trade, and the
suspension Of numerous business houses, Adams
d Bro. have never halted In their prosperous
career, but by making large cash GALES on small
profits, they have weathered every financial
storm, and are as ready, now As ever before, to
sell cheap bargains, and show what piack and
energy can do.
1t Is almost bewildering, to take E stroll
through their toy department. which Of course
is now well filled ready for
the Christmas holidays. Seeing the numerous
toy babies neatly arranged In very attractive
manner Ground the room, We ventured to AJAX
the senior partner, the following question
.'Mr: Adams, how many babies have you here p
swell replied the calculating merchant, 'eount-
ing ell, from the penny baby toys TO these which
are worth Ella or els. each, we have something
over fifteen thousand !"
The baby department includes little babies
and larger babies black, brown, chestnut, sn-
burn, golden, haxen, silken haired babies ba-
bies that talk and babies that walk babies
awake and babies asleep babies with not only
two but three faces and indeed babies that de-
fy description.
The horse, dog cat. COW. and fowl department
is as full as the baby department, and then fol-
lowe an immense Tetinue OF wagons. coaches.
sleds, wheelbarroWs, and every toy imaginable
which youthful fancy can think OF.
Besides the toys. there are the dry goods de-
pArtment, shoe department, china department.
carpet and oil cloth department, al well stocked
with just such goods &c are wanted By TIE
Masses Of the people.
All the clerks In the store are obliging, pleas
ant and accommodating. aud We presume there
are but few persons in Wilmington and for some
miles around II who are not acquainted with
Thomas 8. Stats, the chief clerk, who has been
with the Messrs Adams ever aimee they COM
menced business. Always ready to crack q joke
on drive bargain, Mr.. Stats has become gem
eral favorite aud one Of the most successful
sslesmen in the city.
One the great secrets of Adams Bro 3 suo-
cess is that they ddUertiss, sS Systematically and
persistently. They have had their card in the
COMMERCIAL, right along, for years. and In their
busy seasons, before the Summer and Christ
mas holidays. they increase their space and put
in extra announcements. They have found 1t to
pay, and SO will any one who has goods 10 dis
pose Of which are Of real value, or use.
