THAT we'll known and esteemed re.
preventative OF the mercantile COM
munity of San Francisco, Mr.. 7. S.
Merchant of the house Of James G. King
of VIM, called upon us yesterday. Mr..
Merchant looks as jolly as ever, though
he is on the road from one mouths end
to another. No sooner is one journey
ended than he has to begin another.
His business is so constantly increasing

called "Old Reliable" He don't say
one thing and do another. but stands.up
to the rack like little man and that we
presume is the great secret OF his sue
cess.
