WHISTLES AND BRANDIES.

MessrS. B. J. Semmes & Co., No. 254
Second street, Irving block, take the
lead in all that pertains to the wholesale
| trade in brandies and whiskies. Only
| the very finest brands are kept in stock,
and they have always on hand large
and most superb stock of Martell, Pinet,
Otard, Planet and Hennessey brandies in
all sizes of casks. Messrs. Semmes d Co.
have for long number of years been
thoroughly connected and acquainted
with the liquor trade, and have thereby
become experts in the business, which,
like many Others, requires time, study
and perseverance. They keep on hand
none but the very finest brands, as will
be seen by perusal of the names of the
manufacturers just named. Some of the
vintages belong TO the celebrated years
of lS49 and 1851, and have matured with
age, and consequently are unapproach-
able in quality and purity, while the
bOquet is delightful. In whiskies this
firm compete most favorably with the
most famous houses in the country, and
their celebrated original Stauffin West
morelRnd, which they introduced into
this city in 1S49, has never been excelled
if ever eQualed, and is even a greater
favorite with those who enjoy glass of
genuine aqua Uitg than it was ten years
ago. The Robertson county whisky in
stock is the very finest manufactured in
that now celebrated county, while their
Bourbon is of various brands, but all sur
passingly fine in quality. In rye whisky
they have only the best and the purest,
and the Virginia peach and apple BRAN
dies will compare most favorably with
any in the market. Merchants visiting
the city to purchase will do well to call
at Messrs. Semmes & Co.'s and sample
the above goods.
