"It is ous thing to buy and another 70 sell, !"
/ il truism savoring Of no inconsiderable
amount of philosophy hy-hencs be who would
sell to profit must buy TO advantage. How
essential, therefore, is it for a commercial

| Just such firm we are about to treat, and
with sGchan one at Immediate command, we
are at a total loss to conceive why many of our
local retail grocery establishments should
evince partiahty for a more eastsrly market
possessing no apparent competency to afford
them either better goods, better facilities or
easier terms. We refer to the time-honored
house OF S. B. Wood, of 81 Summit street, To-
ledo, than WHOM, we venture to suggest from
personal observation, there is no house better
prepared to afford every satisfaction and pecu-
mary advantage. The business has been es-
tablished some fourteen or sixteen years, and
the fact alone of its very large and increasing
connection IS ample to afford every assurance
of Mr.. Woods uniupeachable integrity aud
and pre-eminent fitness to conduct the bust
ness. The warehouse consists Of four stories
25 by 100 feet, the first devoted TO grocery, the
second to heavy goods, the third to sundries,
and fourth to wooden and willow ware-the
cellars containing a very large stock of syrups
and other heavy goods. In teas, his Japan,
Young Hyson, Gunpowdsr and Imperial, for
superiority stand unsurpassed in thecity,while
his syrups, spices and fine line of grOcers no |
tions, fancy soaps, &c, cannot fail to CON-
mand the surprise and hearty approval Of pa !
trons-being replete to the smallest detail. |
In tobaccos, Mr.. Woods special brands "Gilt |
Edge "Ivanhoe," "May Qneen" and "May |
Flower" speak amply for themselves by the |
wide spread reputation they have achieved |
and the immense quantities sold. We were
particularly struck with the exceedingly fine
showing Of salt fsh-pickerel, mackerel, &c
and really could not resist the temptation
of silently wishing that sample Of them was
only little nearer homo. A finer line of
woodward and wicker-work than is here kept
no one need desire to select from, and the
hundreds of other features Of interest too nu-
merous to particulafizs, which 60 to fill up
their spacious warerooIns appear to have been
selected with equal care and due regard to
give satisfaction not only to his customers but
a generation beyond-bis customers custom

around the "festivs board" We next arrive
at subject perhaps little more familiar to
most in this section. The house is represent
