JOS. L. lMeTeer'S Mammoth ES-
Enlistment.
Ready fer the Fall Trade, With
an Immense Stock.
What the Knoxville Daily ChrOn-
icle Finds to Say Concerning
this Sterling House.

Some years ago most'of the lclothing
bought by our country merchants had
to be purchased east, but the necessity
for this has at last passed away, as they
can come to Knoxville and visit the
aboYe-named establishment and pur-
chase their supplies in that line, and
/ do just as well as in the east, and save
the cost of freight. Few of our read
ers, we fear, really appreciate the ex-
| tent of Mr.. McTeer's business, but
call at his house during the business
hours of the day, and a little observa-
tion, viii soon convince them that his
trade is second to none in magnitude.

he deals in. He has now on hand
THE LARGEST STOCK OF CLoTHIJG
ever exhibited in any house in East
Tennessee, and the beauty of 1t is, it is
a general stock, comprising all grades,
styles and prices. The country mer-
chant will now have no difficulty ir |
selecting just such goods as his pecu- |
liar trade may demand. Mr.. McTeer, |

himself, Travelled for other large houses
in the east, and there is, perhaps, not a
locality within the limits of his present
trade. as well as many other sections of
our country, that he has not visited in
the interest of his employers, and thus
has become thoroughly acquainted with
the wants of his customers in these sec
lions, and being wide awake to his in
terest, these points have all been well
noted and brought TO account in the
purchase of his stock. There is proba-
bly, no one in East Tennessee who knows
better the wants of his customers - >. r.
