SADDLERY AND COACH HARD
WARE.
Burns a CO.-An Old and WeII-knOWn
House.

The above named house was established
thirty-three years ago, then as now being
devoted TO the sale of saddlery and coach
hardware, though, if We are not mistaken,
the business did not begin to assume es-
pecial importance until about 1850. Mr..
81. Burns, the President Of the First Ma
tiOnal Bank, was the founder Of the house,
and he continued to carry on the business
alone until 1855 or 1866, when the firm Of
Burns & Co. was formed.
The greatest development of the trade Of
the house occurred in the decade 1850
1860, and since 1865. By degrees it be-
came large jobbing house welding an in
huence and commanding trade in those
sections Of the South tributary to Nashville
not exceeded by that Of any rival house
south Of the Ohio river, and the prestige Of
the old house has been not only maintained
but added to by the present prOprietors.
The firm as now constituted comprises
NJ. Burns, Jr., 1st, James Burns aud NJ.
Burns, Jr., I'd. These gentlemen are all
young men, long acquainted with the de-
tails Of the business which they control,
and their management is characterized by
success as gratifying as it is cOmmendable.
The firm does its own travelling, the opera
tons of the house being largely confined to
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabamaand Georgia.
We find Burns q Co., occupying No. 90
North Market street, a portion of the hand
some Burns Block, one of the ornaments
of that thwoughfaTe. The entire premises
-four floors and basement) are used, the
stock carried is one that is very cOmpre-
hensive in its character, embracing every
thing that appeTtains to saddlery and coach
hardware. Full lines Of carriage and bug
gy material are also in stock, embracing
bodies and other component parts Of I'M
finished vehicles. Leather and cloth for
trimming purposes, ornaments of every
kind, springs sxles and hubs-anything
and everything that a carriage maker may
desire. The saddleTy department is equally
complete, and in addition to these two lines
Of trade the firm deals largely in shoe find
ings. They are also very extensive leather
dealers.
From this brief synopsis Of some Of the
more striking characteristics Of the house
our readers may obtain something of an
idea, even if imperfect, Of the establish
ment 10 which we thus allude, the Oldest
enterprise Of its kind In the city, and we
are not sure but the oldest in the State.

W. Duncan d Co.

In commenting upon our Banks and
Bankers We find occasion to mention the
firm Of W. NJ. Duncan Co., who do a gen
eIal exchange and brokerage business,
similar in every essential respect to
that Of the banking fraternity generally,
with two notable exceptions. Being pri-
vate bankers they, naturally enough, have
no circulation" but a still more notable
feature Of their business is the fact that the
house receives no deposits.
A bank without deposits at first seems
something Of an anomaly; the reflection
leads US TO remark that "there be banks
and banks" Shakespeare has made men,
Orable the one "Whereon the wild
thyme grows"-the national banking
law has created its distinctive feature
in banking, and now comes to the front a
bank that is not bank-a paradox and yet
a fact. In brief, the Messrs. Duncan are
stock and exchange brokers. They deal in
all kinds Of local stocks and bonds, and
through their correspondents in New York
and elsewhere operate in many of the
stocks and bonds that are regularly called
on the New Yoark board. The firm have
ample means, and are prepared TO operate
in anything offered in their line, and to
any extent.
The copaTtners are W. N. Duncan and
A. r. Duncan, their office being at No. 80
College street (the front Of the State In
sUTance COmpany's building). The senior
member was formerly Cashier Of the Me-
chanics' Bank, and is now a Director in
the Mechanics National.

The Nashville Savings Bank.

December Sd, 1858, Messrs. Julius and
Max Sax began a general brokerage and
private banking business in the city OF
Nashville. Conducting operations as such
until September, 1866. they organized IN
der charter for a savings bank styled the
Nashville Savings Bank, and since then,
while no less attention has been paid to
brokerage, a general banking business has
been done, similar in every respect to that
Of the National banks, except in the issue
Of currency. They pay interest upon de-
pOSitS, negotiate loans, and are, in every
sense, bankers. Mr.. Max Sara being the
German Notary Public for this county, has
commanded an exceptionally large bust
ness in collecting moneys and legacies from
Germany, as well as Europe generally, and
through this and other means the firm has
developed, without doubt, the largest trans.
Atlantic business Of the city.
Although doing a general stock and
brokerage business, and buying and selling
home and foreign exchange, the Messrs. Sax
have not pursued the policy of advertising
quotations of stocks in the Eastern markets.
Published reports are so manifestly incOr-
rect, as a rule, that they rather prefer giving
their customers the advantages and benefits
of their private advices from Wall street.
As for local securities the firm has estab-
lished a reputation for both buying and
selling to such advantage of their friends
that the published market rates are scarcely
to be considered as q criterion Of values.
The MeSsTs. Sax have been residents OF
Nashville for the past thirteen years-bOth
are young men who have shown themselves
to be identified with the real progressive
spirit of the city and the success that has
attended thir business operations has been
but the legitimate sequel Of business-like
energy, rightly applied.

The Nashville Savings Company.

This banking institution, familiarly
known as Mars Bank, which is situated
at the corner Of Union and College streets,
one Of the most prominent localities in the
city, is private bank, owned and con-
trOlled by Messrs. Mar and Tarbox.
These gentlemen have been citizens of
Nashville for more than twenty years, Mr..
Mar, before the war, being one Of the
owners Of the UNION AND AMERICAN, and
Mr.. TarbOx being one of the teachers Of
our city schools.
Their bank is one Of discount and de-
post, and does not issue a circulating me
dunn. The prOprietOrs are, however, best
known as extensive dealers in uncurrent
bank notes, Of which the country was filled
at the close of the war. By extensive ad-
vertising, Nashville was made one Of the
centres Of trade for Southern bank notes,
and for several years after the close Of the
war, this house was daily in receipt of
thousands Of dollars from every portion
Of the Southern country. This trade has
given way to that of stocks and bonds, and
a large quantity Of the local bonds sold in
this city pass over the counter of Mars
Bank. This bank has always been in the
habit Of keeping its New York quotations
Of stocks, bonds, gold, etc, open to the pub
lie, and thus il has become a sort of head
quarters for commercial news, and many Of
cur trading men can always be found at
Mars corner. The quotations given by
this house for local stocks and bonds are
generally considered the standard in this
vicinity, and such is the character for fair
ness which the owners Of this bank have
earned, that most disagreements and mis-
understandings in relation 10 stocks and
bonds are settled by their quotations.

EXPLANATORY.

Much as we may have wished, It has
been found utterly impossible to write in
detail Of all the leading interests Of the
city. There are a score of prominent
houses about town, engaged in jobbing, or
in manufacturing, that our representative
would have written concerning had he
been able to meet with those who could or
would have given any points relative to
their own or their neighbor's trade. Others
whom be did see, and see repeatedly, too,
would suggest calling again, aud the result
is no comments were attempted.
We regret especially our inability to pre-
sent some facts relative to such well known
houses as Adams, Throne & Co., among
the most prominent Of our wholesale boot
and shoe Dealers house that deseTedly
commands confidence and esteem wherever
it is known; the same is true relative 70
the large, prosperous and enterprising house
Of B. 81. Cooke & Co., wholesale clothing
merchants, and also Of a number of Others
we might name. The publication of this
dOuble-sheet, however, has been fixed for
to-day, and pOstpOnement was inadvisable.

WHOLESALE GROCERIES.
Morris & StraftOB as one OF the Repre-
senfatIves Of the Grocer Trade.


senfatiVes Of the GrOeerg Trade.
A wholesale grocery house presents IN
itself few objects Of attraction aside fOm a
business view. Barrels Of sugar, sacks Of
coffee and cases Of the innumerable arti-
eles, to even name which would be an end
less task, are moi susceptible Of such group
ings as ribbands and laces and flowers. 1t
is seldom, too, that a wholesale grocery
house is Frightened by the presence Of
ladies, and the shopping expeditions" Of
the fair sex rarely include a visit to the
wholesale quarter Of the town, unless It be
for the purpose Of replenishing depleted
pocket-boOks, and yet large jObbing gro
ceTyhOuse is a world in miniature very
prosaic world it is true-wherein the slight
est fluctuations in the markets are noted.
A jobbing grocery is also a stOrehOuse for
products from nearly every quarter Of the
glObe-a receiving and distributing depot
and the executive and administrative abili-
ty required to manage its affairs must Do Of
a comprehensive character.
Among the most prominent Of the mer-
camille interests Of the city may be named
the house Of Morris & StrattOn. It is no
stranger to the trade Of this State, or Of
Alabama, Kentucky and Georgia. Its Op-
erations are confined TO no 'spent-up Utica"
and we accordingly present in this issue Of
the UNION AND AMERICAN some items
relative to it as well as TO its competitors
in trade. The eopartnership comprises
K. j. Morris and I. f. StrattOn, and was
originally formed in 1S45. At that early
day the business was a combination Of
jObbing and retailing, but after a year or
two the firm went out Of retailing altOgeth-
er, and from that time until the war COM
PEELED the house 10 close business, an ex-
clusively wholesale trade was done. Afler
the forced idleness Occasioned by the war,
business was resumed in 1865 by the same
firm, and has since been uninteTTuptedly
continued.
The place Of business occupied by the
firm is Nos. q and % South Market street
one Of the finest business blocks upon
that thOroughfare, built by the firm in 1857.
It is 212x43 feet, five floors in height, and
extends from Market to Front street, the
basement Of the Market street entrance be
ing first floor on Front street. Having been
built especially for its present uses every
convenience was Incorporated 80 the ar
rangement, and It stands, in every respect,
