LEsSING. LYONS, SOLOMON &

As successors 10 the old firm of
Lyons, Lindcnthal & Co., this firm
began business April I'D, 1873. With
well established trade to begin
with, not second certainly to any sim
liar establishment in Central Texas,
the house received in the change in
| dicafed the valuable accession of a
large increase of capital and a Scarce
~ less valuable consideration in the
personal services of Mr.. II. leasing,
late of Memphis, Tennessee, as the
senior member of the firm. Mr.. Less
ing is a gentleman of large expe-
rience and eminent ability in
business as a wholesale dry goods
merchant, especially in Office work
and over that department accordingly
he now presidcs. The office ITSELF,
a model of convenience and adapta-
bility in construction is conducted in
the most perfect ordar and decorum,
and with that thorough system,
| which is at once the evident secret
and the silent evidence of skill and
power. Mr.. S. Lyons, the second
member, still retains his position in
the firm as resident buyer in New
York. His perfect acquaintance
with the market, both there and here,
is qualification surpassed only by
his Incompatible skill and energy as
a buyer; and the success with which
he performs his part of the work,
will be recognized as another very
| important element in their elaborate
system ofbusiness. Indeed such is the
recognized value of services of this
class that good buyers" are always
/ in demand at fabulous figures, and it
is a common remark among mer-
chants that to buy well is half the
battle. Residing in New York, watch
ing constantly the market, MIR. Lyons
is very frequently enabled to take adj
vantage of heavy depressions, and
thus enables his firm, at home, TO sell
at figures. no higher certainly than
many pay in New York.
Mr.. j. 4. solomon is in charge OF
the wholesale department, while Mr..
A. COIN. Il universal favorite among
those who know him. presides over
the retail department with equal eff
cheney and general acceptability.
Such are the parts assigned the
different members of the firm. show
ing Enthusiastically an accurate knowl-
edge both of personal adaptability
and of that great economic principle
a proper .division of labor" Fur
uler applying the same principles the
employees. a@gregaiing some twenty
five or thirty men in the active bust
ness season, have each and all their
own distinctive duties to perform.
Mr.. 4. COIN. conducts the retail
department on the tlrsi floor, Dan.
Wise, the wholesale in dry goods, no.
tions and gents furnishing goods in
the second. and Levy Bear the whole
sale in boots, shoes, hats, trunks, etc.,
on the third floor, with full and etfi-
cient corps of subordinatcs.
Of the building itself, famed a it
is alike for magnitude and exquisite
architectural structure. it would seem
,upcrfluous to speak. Suffice it, that
whether as regards the building or
the business, it is in all respects well
worthy our metropolitan cities, and
will not suffer materially in compare
son with the best of them.
With all lis arrangements, thus
svsteniatised and perfected, with Il
run of trade already aGgregatins
from five To ten thousand dollars
day. and with facilities to increase
their business to an indefinite
amount. this house is presented with
Ia retail merchants of the
interior. a. both willing and able 10

buy in Waco. Buyers, at retail, will
in like manner be accommodated ON
the most satisfactory terms, the rule
OF the house being 10 treat all alike,
whether great or small.
