The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1874-09-25


We don't mean the kind you take
sugar In, but the old aud ought 10 DO
played out way that some business
houses have Of keeping u little Of
everything until you can't tell from
the assortment Of goods whether you
ARE IN junk shop or dry goods store
These kind Of stores filled the bill
when Dallas was little village, but
now that she aporls metropolitan airs,
each line OF trade ought TO be made u
speciality, ~ ~ done In other large
business Centers.
Among the noble exceptions 10 these
stores we would call attention 10
China Hall, In which only house fur
nlshing goods are kept The firm NOT
having TO divide their attention M
tween many different lines Of goods,
make u speciality Of and are more
thoroughly posted IN the one, study
the wants Of their customers, and
know Just how and where to yet the
best bargains In china, glass and
queensware, wood and wilowware,
cutlery, plated wire goods, silver
plated ware and n thousand and one
useful household articles.
Every true, whole.souled and wide
awake merchant viii gladly forcgo the
little profit there Is in keeping few
articles In this line, knowing that II
business like that which China Hall
represents Is needed III this city. That
such store will at all times do the
bulk Of the business In that line there
can be no doubt, but IL takes all the
business there IL In that line TO main
tain such house, and the few cups
and saucers, plates, glasses and other
staples, sold by mirod stores, while not
amounting to enough to pay any mer-
chant for bothering with it, may in
the aggregate take away enough from
the sales of China Hall to cripple her
efforts to build up the best house in
that line between New York and any
where.

The NtOrY Of a I,rMnIk.

A trunk was taken through Dallas,
yesterday, among the baggage on the
Central train going north, that has
travelled some. The owner left Boston,
Massachusetts, month ago, for the
purpose of going to Charleston, South
Carolina, directing his trunk to be for
warded to him. AT Baltimore he
changed his mind, and started for Gin
cinnati, telegraphing to Charleston to
have his trunk sent to him at Cincin-
natl. AT the latter place he was called
10 Louisville, aud sent word when the
trunk reached Cincinnati to "put it
through" to Louisville. AT Louisville
he went to st. Louis, and directed that
active receptacle to be whacked through
to the latter place. At st. Louis the
trunk was so much behind that he had
toleave forMemphis withoutit 1t, but told
his friends in st. Louis not to forget to
hurry along that nice young trunk to
Memphis. Out of Memphis he went,
but loop-holed an old pard and says,
my covey, don't forget to send my
trunk to Key West" At Key West
he had u gay old time, notwithstand-
ing he was dispatched to "get out of
that" sooner than he expected, and so
the trunk was again behind. Still, says
he to an army officer down there, "Tvc
got trunk, Cap, that's been follow
ing me arounu Internally lively, but it
hasn't caught me yet, Oblige "a high
private in the rear ranks by sending
that Saratoga knapsack to Mobile.n
AT Mobile the proprietor of that trunk
found carte blanche from his employer
in Boston ITO go west, young man,
Then his trunk didn't come, and he
thought he'd start for Scyene or Eagle
Ford lin either of which places if he
had been born he could have been
