THE NEW YORK STORE.
THE NEW BUILDING AT TIE
CORNER OF NINETEENTH
STREET AND CONNER.
CfAL AVENUE

The proprieiors of the New York,
store, corner of Niueteenth street. and
Commercial avenue, fading heir old
quarters entirely insufficient Tor their al
ready largo and constantly s rowing trade
short time since, decided to ore. a new
building on the sito of their old me. Ac-
cordingly, some two months az they rc.
moved their stock of goods TO ihebuilding
on The opposite corner, an at ono, began
tho work Of removing the old structure,
which they had occupied for 90 many
yoara. A contract was entered into with
John Major for the erection Of three
story brick, and tbs timo agreed upon FOR
its completion was six,y days Tho time
was short, but Major was equal TO the
task, and employing large 0rce OF work
men, went TO work. As result Of the
push and energy displayed by tho con.
tractors, the building is now under roof
and the work ON the interior will lie
pushed forward with All possible dispatch.
Tho building is, beyond doubt one of the
IN ost durable ia che cry, and in point Of
workmanship and hai.h prosen.sa Il ne sp-
pcsrance, aud is credit to its builder. 1t
is ono hundred feet deep by twenty-five
feet wide, and three }rios in hight.
Tho fret floor will 10 devoted TO the re-
tail trade OF the Arm than which no firm
in the city has 'srsS or better paying
run OF custom.
The second and 'hrd oor will be used
for the storage OF god Nosignel for the
wholesale trade, the firm having decided
to in tho future give more attention to this
branch of their trade. On their efforts in
this direction we wish them success, and
cannot see why they cannot sell goods as
cheap as they can be- purchased
in either Chicago, 81. Louis, Louisville,
Evansville, or Cincinnati. The great and
abou. tho only thing necessary to build
up large and paying Wholesale trade in
groceries, dry goods, etc, in Cairo is to
make tho proper etlor, and offer induce.
ments that will command the attention OF
buyers. And we BELIZE there is no firm
in the city better cal ,ulated to accomplish
this end than c. y. P,,ier 81 Co. They
are already known TO rotail dealers
throughout large potion Of the south
ere country, and Their trade with them
amounts to many Thousands Of dollars an.
nually. This trade car be increased, and
this firm propose to make an effort to do
It, They have every facility for buying
from first hands, and with equal rates Of
freight are enabled to successfully com.
pete with the merchants Of our more pre-.
Lentious sister cities
The propriotors Of tho New York
store are Q. o. rGlier and VIM. won't
both OF whom entered the services Of the
tlrm as clorks, bat by indus,ry and strict
attention 10 business, became its pro-
pretors.
The cash snles OF the New York store
have besn from sl25. 900 to 100000 an
nuslly, which is As large, ii not larger
than that Of any like concern in the city.
They have constantly IN use two drays,
to which are assigned Ia, delivery Of
goods in the city, and double team to
deliver goods from the Wholesale depart
ment.
Potter & 90, will shortly return TO their
old quarters, not, however, TO the old
bailding When they do vo hope to see
them receive the some patronage and en-
coursgment that they have in days gone
by.
