A FIRsT-CLASS DRY GOODS Es.
TABLISHMENT
Success of J. Ryan & Co.

From It's dlVerslneQ character, and the abso-
Lutte necessity Of its goods, there can be no
second opinion that thoroughly appointed
dry goods house ranks as a leading acquisition
in any community-be it large or small.
Hence are we accustomed to find them almost
invariably fully-if not excessiyely-repre-
sented in every city. But in this line of bus
mess, as in most others where the entire COM
munity are more or less interested, the popu-
larity of keeping the choicest goods on the
most liberal terms, combined with honorable
dealing, soon inspires a widespread spirit of
partiaIity towards certain houses-and Justly
entities them not only to that desirable dis
tinction, but also congratulation through the
popular medium of ''the fourth estate" The
excellent firm of
MEssRs. ]. RYAN & CO.,
thus faring sumptuously of the peoples
preference, and evincing more than an ordi-
nary spirit of enterprise to serve their calling
worthiIy, have, therefore, this week q special
claim to our services. We have with unusual
interest minutely inspected their neat and ex-
cellently appointed store, situated at l, Front
street, (the corner of State street, and have
pleasure in attesting to their exceptional dis
play of season goods. Their very fine line of
dress goods-silk popins, fine black alpacas,
and beautiful light patterns in mohairs, pom
gees, prints, 6c.-is particularly attractive; as
also their cassimeres and light summer cloths
for gents wear. In fancy summer shawls and
handsome lace jackets they have a most de-
lightful showing-upon which goods their
summer trade has already set in, and though
the demand upon them is large they have
only adopted and still adhere to a popular
price. Cloaking cloths, the finest possible to
obtain, is another important branch of their
trade, as also in supplying domestics are they
well prepared. In white goods they have the
real Swiss, Bishop and Victoria lawns, main
sukes, &c. Also, about the finest selection of
hosiery, gloves, sunshades, ribbons, and ties
we ever remember witnessing in the city--all
this seasons goods and only just arrived
from the Eastern markets. Again
they deal largely in the famous
Nottingham lace curtains, table linens,
napkins, towlings &c. Nor are they wanting
in notions, in which they are constantly re-
plenishing with everything beautiful and
ssrviceable as they may come out. The fancy
goods department is in a word replete, and
affords rare treat for ladies to inspect guI-
pure laces, Hamburg edgings and Insertions,
and real and Sazony lace edgings, and white
trimmings commanding quick sales. We
particularly commend this line as affording
real bargains and truly charming patterns for
investments. Nor are Ryan 81 Co. be-
hind in splendid assortment of corsets, var
ying from SOC. to S2 each. Indeed were it
possible to spare time and space we could thus
continue to enumerste features of great in
terest to the extent of column, but as our
observations would only be read to advantage
by those about to purchase, we assure all such
that they will miss q golden opportunity if
they do not personally look in and Judge for
themselves before deciding. And now a word
as to the firm: Mr.. J. Ryan is by no means a
stranger to Fremont ladies-he having in this
city courteously presided in the same line Of
business for some twelve years, while anoth-
er member of the firm is constantly engaged
in the New York markets and is conseq uent-
ly ever on hand picking up everything new
and purchasing it in the Mich of time to Sc
cure advantages in price-gOods consequently
being received here almost daily and invaria-
bly, of the latest styles. Purchasers will read
lily see by this what superior advantages Ry-
an & Co. have for giving that satisfaction
which has secured them so large and fatter-
ing connection both in the city and its en-
virons. The firm are exceedingly energetic
and worthy young men-seek constantly to
deal fairly and squarely, and we believe our
friends have only once to trade with Ryan g.
Co., to discover we are more than fully justi-
fed in all we have felt it duty to say in their
favor.
