JoHN II. TYLER & CO.-IIere we have 4
notable announcement for the Christmas OF
1881. In the oldcn time, il any Richmond
man able TO wear q watch had disclaimcd
knowledge Of Mitchell IL Tyler it would
have been to argue himself unknown, so
universal was the knowledge OF the Nir-
ginia public with the merits Of the we'll
known predecessors OF MeSsrs. John II.
! Tyler & Co. Such was and is the reputc OF
this firm that its judgment on any article in
which it deals is always implicitly accepted.

SYCLE BROTHEBs.-Thesc gentlemen may
be found at No. 81 Broad street, stand
madc memorable by many years Of honora-
bic dealing i'm the past by merchants now
gone to rest, and whose worthy successors
Syclc Brothers were, are, and OF right
ought TO be, for like creditabe endcayor in
the line OF duty. Their specially (and
therein they excel is the gathering in vast
array those articles for which the feminine
soul longs, and without which it refuses 10
be comfOrtcd. OF the habit Of inserting
ones self in good clothing the "Divinc
William" has well observed in regard TO
the masculine gender:

For the apparel Oft procl4ims The mm.
Equally may these observations apply to
that softer sex towards which our linger-
ing affections ever point, as the needle 10
the pole. Sycle Brothers are purveyors
for the especial deectatiOn OF the fair sex.
It is in that line that they glory and find
their chief reward. See what they have:
Fur-wraps OF all kinds, dohnans, silks.
satins, moirG, brocadc, col0rcd radZimirS,
cloths, cloakings, handkerchcis, laccs (rich
and rare), gloves, and holiday specialtes
so numerous that they are only uncXcclled
by the leaves of Vallambros!a, or the sands
OF the sea-Shore. Our lady friends may
take our assurance that Syclc Brothers are
prepared TO reveal all the mysteries Of
dress. and furnish the same at cost that
shall make a gift rather an act OF pleasure
than one Of onerous eXaction. But dress
and its concomitants does not alone engage
the attention OF these wide-awakc, genial
tradesmen. They have thousand other
,articles, all worthy OF attention. See
them.
