sion andju1icious foresight of Mr.. Moore
and Mr.. Watkins, whose long expert

as to the dry goods trade, enabled
them to conceive the plan for the

THE BASEMENT, OR FIRST STORY,
OF this mammoth dry goods house,
where we hold peIhaI the largest and
best assorted stock Of brown goods and
woolens, blankets, etc., ever brought to
Memphis. The large auction sales OF
brown goods and woOlens recently made
in New York afforded merchants a rare
opportunity to purchase reliable ,brics
at unusually low figures. Havinga STIR.

themselves Of this opportunity, and put

Hence, the Inducements In the Way of
a varied and we'll selected stock in this
line and the low prices they now Offer
their patrons and their trade generally
But it is not otir Purpose to speak of the
stock cf VIM. R. Moore & Co, put rather
describe the character and convenient
arrangement of their large store. The
off1cs of the bill.clerk, wash. rooms and
toilet.stands for the use of merchants
and clerks and the packing department
are located and conveniently arranged
in this comm odious base ment, which is
fitted up In modern style and has every
appointment requisite for the con-
venience and comfort Of those who have

sE6oND STORY
is devoted to prints, jeans, fannels, lin
seys, plaids, bleached domestics, mus.
lins, bedticking, etc. In the center
of the long ToOm are extended counters
for the exhibition and examipation of
these gooda, the character, 5'5le, and
quality Cf which are easily aud accu
rately judged by the merchant by means
Of the light shed through the large

or shelves are solidly stocked with the
above mentioned line of goods, and at
one glance the visitor surveys one whole
side of the large room, with lis countless
articles. No one who enters this room

1eble arrangement and the fine display.

may be tTuthfu'ly fsid that William r

elegant of any establishment in the

otherwise. In winter. time the Office is
warmed by good fl e during all hours

every facility as well as comfort. The
| THIRD STORY
is devoted to dress goods, white goods.
stationery, notions, and ali kinds Of
articles for stocking country stores. This
stock is full and complete, and what has
been said OF the hosiery, ,woolens, blank
ets, etc, is equally applicable to this
line. These goods are varied, extensive,
and reliable in quality, and having been
purchased at favorable times, will he
sold at correspondingly low figures.
Merchants should not lose this Oppor-
unity to lay in a large stock, for at no
future time will more, or perhaps as
favorable terms be had anywhere.
This story is arranged, like the
first story, the walls being lined
with large cases and row of wide
tables, extending nearly the entire
length Of the room, which is well light
ed, handsomely fitted-up aud prettily
finished. We find similar appointments
and equally as much taste displayed In
the arrangement and appointments Of
the
FOURTH STORY,
which is devoted to a mammoth stock
Of shirts, shawls, hosiery, gloves, gentle
mems furnishing goods, underwear and
fancy articles generally. 1t is hardly
necessary to speak of the excellence OF
these goods, the comprehensive charac.
ter of the stock, and the good terms at
which all articles are being offered by

FIFTH STORY,
devoted to the storage Of packages o1
goods embraced in the various lines.
Here you behold countless packages, fol
remember that this is the package de-
partment of the establishment. Mer-
chants who purchase largely and in bulk
will fad it especially advantageous t.

stock are here 10 readiness to be shipped

hardly necessary to elaborate on this de-
partment, for its mere mention informs
the merchant of its advantages. Mos
persons would doubtless feel tired by the

such an establishment. William r
