MARCHESSEAU& ,HALI!ON, Wholesale Gro
GERS and Dealers IN Hardrare and Liquors,
Main and Granite Streets.
Messrs. Marchesseau & Walton are
among the oldest wholesale firms in
Butte. The stone building which con-
stitutes their store and warehouses is the
property of the firm, and is the best fire
proof building in the county. 1t is di-
vided into three departments-the store
proper, the warehouse north of the store,
and the stOrehOuse in the rear of the
warehouse: In the latter department
the heaviest staple goods are kept, as it
it is the most convenient for receiving
and shipping purposes. There is a eel
lar beneath the storehouse which is
filled from floor to ceiling, with merchan-
disc. They ship goods to all portions of
the Territory. Orders from Missoula
II the westerly districts are generally
filled at the branch house of this firm at
Deer Lodge, which is under the SUPER
vision of Mr.. Walton. This gentleman
makes Deer Lodge his headquarters,
and attends to the business transactions
ofthis firm in that place. The best evil
dence of a firms popularity with its GUS
toners is a continuance of it's prosperity.
An idea of how this firm is accommodating
trade may be derived from the fact that
the amount of taxes paid by Messrs.
Marchesseau g. Walton on their last
years business, amounted to more than
that paid by any other firm for the same
period of timeand purpose. The stock of
Messrs. Marchesseau & Walton includes
staple'and fancy, foreign and domestic
groceries, wines, liquors, tobaccos and
cigars. They are also dealers in hard
ware, queensware and notions. egive
below a few reasons whythe prices asked
by Messrs. Marchesseau & Walton
for their goods are as low, if not lower,
than prices put upon the same quality of
merchandise by any other wholesale
establishment in the Territory. They
pay cash for all their purchases. Mr.
Marchesseau goes East every spring, as
he can make more favorable bargains in
person than by letter. Knowing that
his purchases are great, and that he pays
cash, merchants in the great cities of the
East compete in prices for his custom.
They have special contracts at reduced
rates with the railroads that ship the
goods to them. Give them a call and
examine their stock.
MA MING &c CODLING, Groceries and F,ori-
Sions. West Side BrOnd,ody Near Main Street.
These popular gentlemen have been
IN business here for about a year, during
which time they have greatly extended their
trade and formed many warm friends. Their
store contains a complete stock of foreign and
domestic, staple and fancy groceries, fine
Japan and English breakfast teas and also a
stock of choice liquors and California wines.
Doing a brisk business, their goods are con-
stantly being sold out and replenished with
fresh impOrtations, thus securing to the con-
sumner, fresh and delicious articles of food.
They keep a delivery wagon for the exclusive
benefit OF their patrons. They have already
a large circle of regular customers which is
steadily increasing and their patrons without
exception, show their appreciation of, and salts
faction with the firm and its prices, goods and
dealings, by the steady continuance of their
trade. Messrs. Manning & Cooling are bright,
enterprising, energetic and thorough business
men and are bound to prosper and make a
decided success of their business. Give them
a share OF your custom and they will satisfy
you, and in all probability the trial will re-
solve itself into a permanent trade and con-
slant contentment between buyer and sellers.

1t was with pleasure we welcomed last
spring, to Butte, the firm of D. j. WEIGH &
Co.. Mr.. Welch had previously been in bust
ness in Missoula and Glendale, but these
towns lacking the impetus of population and
general goaheaditiveness for which Butte is
noted, he removed his family and business to
our city, Here he formed a co-partnership
with Mr.. ]. NJ. Fish and together they opened
a grocery store in the heart of the city, on
the finest business corner in Butte. Their
