Were visitor, especially one anxious
to learn something about the true char

feature OF its prominent business, to ask
US where faithful and realistic iIlussra-

assuredly refer to Guy, Mcclellan & Co.,

We are sure that Memphis would not
occupy q second place to any city in the
! union were her reputation measured by
the character OF the ab0v- firm, and the
gentlemen, Messrs. w. w. Guy, J. Il.
Mcclellan, and L. G. Park, VINO conduct
it. Whether we regard them as gentle
men in a social buiiness sense, Or as busi-
ness men 10 mercantile affair, the judg-
ment, IS we'll as the opinion to be ex-
pressed, will be all the same. For years
have they done business in our city, and
during all this time their course has
been characterized, not only by marked
ability, but by strict integrity and un-
questionable honesty. And the result
to-day speaks for itself, for their business
is not only great, but extensive, giving
employment to large number OF per-
sons, and justly maintalng the firm of
Guy, Mcclellan q Co, as one of the
leading and most prominent business
houses in the south. To the efforts Of
such gentlemen are largely, If not alto
gether, due the present Importance of
Memphis as city and commercial
mart. To the continued efforts of such
gentlemen will be due her growth and
future development, which, with such
ronlf no0aso ariIJ ho Syraaf
and magnificent. We hail with all the
more pleasure then, the truth that Guy,
Mcclellan & Co. continue to increase
their mammoth business, and are daily
extending it through all the surround
ing country-TenneRsee, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Alabama. To meet the
demands OF their extensive patronage,
they exercise their chars cteristio judg-
ment in the selection of fresh and relia-
bic groceries, the satisfactory handling
of cotton, and the thorough method Of
conducting general commission
business. A visit to their hand
some and commodious store, on
Front street, will show such stock Of
groceries that is not often seen in any
one establishment. These groceries be-
ing bought in such large quantities and
at reguiar intervals, are secured on de-
sirabie terms by Guy, Mcclellan & Co.,
who, therefore, are enc Oled to sell them
at reasonable rates. Ii the selection of
the stock due care is used to obtain the
very best quality of goods, and in va.
riety sufficient to meet all demands and
to suit every purchaser. In fact, no one
has ever made complaint of any grocer.

on the contrary, their gonds have al

mission bust ness they are noted for their
good judgment and fair dealing, and
