wholesale grocery houses, who, we see by
our exchanges, are again convassing this
State, offering very plausible induce
ments to procure their orders, but upon
the delivery Of the goods they do not
come up to what was represented, by con-
siderable. We are sure you can do no
better than by patronizing your home
dealers, who, if every thing is not found
as represented, are easy Of access, and
will rcctify any misrepresentation or
mistakes. Our merchants, who buy in
large quantities, can certainly obtain goods
and sell them to you fully as cheap as
these "sharpers," and we do not believe
any reliable wholesale house would SO in
jure their wholesale trade with Iowa mer
chants as to send out men to retail their
goods.
