The firm was first known as Brady &
Sproule, who opened in Louisville, Ky.,
IN 1854, They afterwards moved to New
York, where they began the n,anufac-
; ture of fine clothing. Soon after they
opened houses in St. Louis, New Or
leans and Memphis.
At the head of the house in New Or
leans we find Mr.. D. H. McCown, whose
quiet and affable manner has made him
general favorite-a gentleman whom
all feel that it is pleasure to know.
The statesmen are all men of energy and
intelligence. Mr.. Charles H. Sproule, a
prompt and obIiging young man, is we'll
liked by host of acquaintances.
Mr.. D. H. Longmire was formerly
with that enterprising merchant, Capt.
b. L. Walshe, where he made a host Of
| friends.
Mr.. Charles B. Drew, an old hand in
the clothing business, who was for manv
years with the popular house of H. B.
Stevens & Co., is now with Messrs.
Sproule & McCown.
Mr.. F. W. Rochester is also sales
man In the house. Young and atten-
tive to the wants Of customers, he is
rapidly gaining popularity.

to buy exclusively for cash. Manufac-

none but the best of hands, and buying
all their materials for cash, they are
able to keep the finest goods in the mar
