| MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, AT II A. M.

But few short months have elapsed since it was our pleasure to announce to the people the opening of our business. We could then give but partial idea of our intended pro ject. We endeavored, however, to convey an idea of what our intentions were. Since then the most remarkable events that have ever transpired in the history of the dry goods trade of New Haven have taken place. The most important of these were caused by the scale of extremely LOW PRICES which we inaugurated. and which at one fell swoop destroyed the last remaining vestige of war
 prices and profits. Innumerable were the
 schemes and devices resorted to to counteract
 the tide of popular favor with which from
 the outset our enterprise was hailed.
 The advent which followed is well known
 to the people by the prices which have ruled
 in dry goods since the commencement of the
 first blow we struck at monopoly. Endowed
 with that inestimable blessing, determined and persistent energy, guided by long and varied experience, having at our command all the auxiliaries necessary for the successful operation of great business enterprise, we shall follow the same marked course in the conduct of our business throughout, regard ing only the interests of the people and their wants in the line of Dry Goods exclusively. As we stated in our first address to the peo- pie that we should at once extend our prem ises, it is most gratifying to us to be able to say that from the first day we opened to the present not only have we felt justified by the volume of trade with which we were favored, 1 but we felt compelled to enlarge in order to l accommodate at all the popular feeling mani Tested towards us, and enable us to carry stocks of such magnitude as we felt the exi- gency of our intent demanded, in order to be in a position to counteract the greater part of l the trade from this State which yearly goes
 to swell the coffers of New York merchants. | This will no longer be necessary, since 'tis our resolve to carry stocks of Silks, Velvets, Satins and Dress Goods, which for richness, magnitude, variety and grandeur of assort- ! ment, as to shades, design and texture, can- 1 not be surpassed on this continent, and at prices that very many New York houses can not afford to sell at, since our scale of pro- fits is much lighter than they can afford to live on, while our facilities for obtaining | and in Europe is not and cannot be exceeded by any metropolitan retail house, we make no exceptions. Having for years past care- fully observed the energy, thrift and innum- erable industries for which the people of Con- necticut have become world-renowned, parti- cularly the good City of Films, the mother of Yale, so noted for it's onward march and pro- gress in commercial and manufacturing inter ests.
 And otherwise in point of importance our own State stands out in bold relief, with it's I broad and navigable streams, with miles and l miles of sea-coast some of the finest harbors I in the world, with diversity of soil and eli. i mate well adapted to all the products neces- l sary for mans comfort, coupled with the i'm
 mense wealth of it's great corporations and | private citizens combined, with one of the
 most energetic and industrious populations
 that any State can call her own. These facts
 have secured to Connecticut that progress
 that excites at once mingled feelings of SUE,
 prise and admiration for her great growth and material wealth throughout the civilized world, and will stimulate us in our own en 1 terprise, and nerve our mind to energetica1ly supply the wants of the people in our line, by carrying one of the finest, richest and most
 extensive stocks, exclusively dry goods, that
 have ever been carried by any house in the | State. With the completion of our grand ! mammoth addition, our increased facilities
 enables us not only to enlarge all our depart ments, but to add those which we had not
 room to accommodate when we first opened 1 Our immense establishment will now extend l from Chapel street through to Center, clear l sweep of 25O feet by 45 feet wide with base- 1 ment accommodation throughout for reserve | stocks, having entrances from Chapel, Greg son and Center streets, and will positively be | the best lighted and most cheery warehouse
 within the borders of New England. The en- tire establishment will always have flood of clear light supplied through 40 windows and skylights constructed specially for the ad- | mission of light peculiarly adapted for the l display of colors, by which means ladies or l others with weak sight can never be mistaken 1 in shades or qualities at any hour of the day. l With an area of nearly 15, 900 square feet, over 2,oOO feet of counters and about 10000
 feet of shelving, we can with propriety call l It bIltC WHICH OGDerS uaV6 a1Hoo PAOAAOu1SOo
 it, "The Dry Goods Exhibition Palace" o1 Connecticut
 1 We would invite particular attention to the
 fact that during last Spring we placed,
 through our Agents, extensive orders fol
 Silks, velvets, Novelties, Hosiery, Millinery, &c., &c., in France, Germany, Holland, Swift zerland and England, these goods now arriv' ] ing and specially imported for the Fall and opening of our Grand Mammoth Addition will form display the grandeur and magni- fcence of which cannot fnil to call forth the most enthusiastic admiration. The interior view by night will form through the diversi-
 ty of color, acted on by 500 gas jets,a perfect
 Monster Kaleidoscope, ,as represented through
 the Model Dry Goods House of the State, the opening of which shall take place on Monday
 the 20th of September, at Il a. m., by
 Grand Exhibition of the choicest Novelties of
 the New and Old Worlds, to which you are
 most cordially invited.
