OUR OLYMPIA ADVERTISERS.


facilities possessed by our business men
long enough, to give little advice to
those who have not been so intimately
connected with the trade of the place.
Gus. Rosenthal has been for many
years past one of our most liberal ad-
vertisers, and were it not for other adj
vantages he possesses over many deal
ers in general merchandise, this fact
would of itself, indicate the shrewdness
of Judgment, which has contributed in
no small degree to build mp the enviable
business reputation he enjoys. His
purchases are made by Mr.. Lightner, of
San Francisco, his former partner, who
is continually in position where every
advantage can be taken of any fuctua-
tions in the markets. This will account
for his stock always being seasonable,
and his ability to sell many articles ut
less rate than other merchants, who visit
San Francisco but once or twice year,
and whose stay is necessarily limited to
one or two days in that city.
The same advantages are possessed
by Messrs. 7. Macleay & Co., in the
grocery line. The firm of which the
Olympia house is branch, does the
largest importing business carried on
north of San Francisco. They purchase
from first hands, in immense lots which
command bottom prices, and this adj
vantage is enjoyed by the house here,
as is manifested by the low and uni
form prices at which all staple articles
of the trade are held, and which control
in O great measure their value at all
times in this market. In iobbing lots
this firm can furnish goods at rates
which actually defy competition.
The old and well-established business
of Samuel Williams, Esq, is deserving
of the high reputation it enjoys. The
stock, consisting of almost everything
in the hardware and hollowware line, is
complete in oil its details, and the bust
ness is conducted by qualified and cour-
teous assistants, whose ambition it is to
retain the prestige of the past. Mr..
Williams likewise enjoys unusual facili-
ties for purchasing in the San Fran
cisco and Eastern markets, on terms
which allow the widest margin for profit
ct reasonable rates.
MIR. Robert Frost, or Bob as he is
Familiarity called &c for short" is newer
at the business, but has shown o re-
markable aptitude for the branch of it
he has chosen. His stock of heavy and
shelf hardware has been selected with
discrimination and rare judgment. His
success, thus far, has been the result of
steady and well-directed effort, and we
may we'll say that he has stemmed " the
tide in the affairs of men which taken at
its food leads on to fortune"
In drugs, medicines and toilet arti-
cles, Mr.. C.B. Mann possesses all the
requisites of first-class business. His
supply of fancy articles, perfumery,
ETC., is complete and specially worthy
OF the attention of purchasers. Mr..
Mann is ready, prompt and capable
compounder of drugs, and enjoys a
large proportion Of the local trade.
MIR. W. /. G. Neate, late of the Olym-
pia Drug Store, has recently opened
very neat dispensary in the rooms
formerly occupied as the Temperance
Home" where every article in his line
viii be found. DR.. Steele has moved
his Office to the New Drug Store, where
q comfortable Office has been fitted up
for consultation-room. Mr.. Neate's
long experience as adruggist commands
the confidence of the public in his
ability as compounder of prescrip-
tions.
Charley Talcott. few doors south of
the New Drug Store, has opened an ex-
ceedingly tasty jewelry store, where he
has ample room to display his stock to
the best advantage He has instituted
many needed reforms in his line of bus
iness. among which, of special interest
10 the public, lisa reduction in the prices
OF watch-repairing from the old rates of
40 to living figures. His supply of
watches, clocks and jewelry, is the best
In town, and purchasers should examine
it before buying at other places.
