known TO all the people about Memphis.
They occupied one of the finest stores in the
South. About two years ago they deter

largest stock of stoves, tinware, lamp stock,
timers supplies, ETC, TO be found in the South.
They deal largely in oils. In all these goods
they can offer to retailers the greatest in
ducements. Their stock OF hardware is large,
complete and new. They sell many of the
most useful and durable agricultural imple-

Signs of the Memphis Boom.

No better sign of the coming Memphis
boom can be given than the old reliable firm
of Hook & Lagrill, $50 and 291 Second
street, corner Madison. For nearly twenty
years this firm, with no change of style or
membership, has been sure index TO the
prosperity and adversely of Memphis. So
completely are their interests blended with
the city that they suffer or prosper rs she
suffers OF prospers. Just now, they are dis
playing unusual activity. You can scarcely
90 block or turn corner without coming
in contact with some of their painters or pa
per-hangera. You can readily recognize
their Workmen by their neat and gentlemanly
appearance. They employ only Competent
Workmen and men of character, who may be
safely trusted in finely furnished houses.
Their handsome establishment, $50 Sec
ond street, is filed with a choice selection
of Wallpaper and window-shades, where the
affable Mr.. Lsgsill will be found at all
times ready 10 show the latest styles in ar
tistic and plain paper-hangings. The ndjoin-
ing room, 291 Second street, is occupied for
the house and sign painting and kalsominipg
department, over which Mr.. Hook is the pre-
siding genius, who also superintends in per-
SON the execution of their work. By pur-
chasing their stock in large quantities for
cash, and close management OF their work,
they are able TO DO good standard work al
most as cheap as inferior work is being done
in the city. They do not claim to be the
chez pest, but are doing standard work at as
low rates as possible, and all their work Is
guaranteed. Honorable dealing hss given
them the enviable position they now occupy
in their line of business, and Is a guarantee
of a continuance of the same. We refer our
patrons to their card in another column, and

young gentlemen, VINO have been in this

impression that this is q branch OF the old

"eld men," is erroneous. it lie a separate

business and know how to run it. They Fave

close in this business, Jack Bros, IT., mark

JAMES & GRAHAM
Wagon Company, Established in 1862
on Their Present Site in Building.
OF Ihirty-SeVen Feet Front,
Now Cramped in Buildings Covering
n. Nearly Seventy Thousand Square (
=. Feet. X

About the date of General Forrest raid
on our city, the attack OF Mr.. Henry James
WAS made on the rubbish pile that then &C
cupied the site of his first building. While
the former is almost forgotten, the latter has
grown in size and usefulness until to-day
their wagons are well and favorably known
to all parts of the South aud Southwest.
AS an evidence of the pluck and delermi
alton OF Messrs. Henry james and w. l..
Graham, the managers to whose brains and
efforts belong the glory OF the fsctory's sue
cess, it should be only necessary to state that
the factory burnt down in 1869, also in 1878,
and again in 1880.
With equal vim they began the manuiac-
ture of "good wagons" and now make not
only the largest quantity but the very best
farm wagon. Aud of the many improve
ments added by them, none excel the iron
truss for wooden sxles, which has placed the
james & Graham wagon far beyond the
reach OF competition with all who under
stand the value oil good wagon. From Mr.
ii. N. Farnum, superintendent, who has held
the position for the past twelve years, we
learned the following: Nearly $1,000 is
now invested in the machinery of this estab-
lishment, giving employment to 100 hands
aud turning out nearly 100 wagons each
week. Their main building is three stories
high, 107 feet front by $50 feet deep, and
contains every known piece of wagon ma
chinery, which is arranged in the most con-
venient and systematic manner, 30 that the
rough and unshaped lumber and iron is
passed in regularity from one machine TO
another until they are fixed into a wagon
complete and painted.
The old skatipg-rink building on Adams
street, 100 feet front by $50 fest deep, that
adjoiDs the factory on the north, is now used
by them as a repository for their finished
wagons. and IL packed full. On the west of
the main building is one-stery house, sew
enty-fve feet front by l50 feet deep, that is
used as "machine-repairing shop" also for
the manufacture of specially ordered work.
Their lumber shed is located on the east Of
the main building, and is tall, one-story
building, fifty five feet front by $50 feet deep.
The management are paying considerable
attention to the manufacture of spring Work,
such as open buggies and double-seated
spring wagons, and are meeting with such
encouragement as to justify the belief that
in the near future they will be turning out
as much spring work as they now do farm
wagons. The browning feature of this ct
tablishment is the e1eelLeney Of their tcdgons.
Their constant efforts to improve their
wagons has secured for them perfection in
farm wagons" An invitation 10 "call and
examine" is extended 10 all

e. Witzmann & Co.

This music house prospers and succf eds
| by sterling merit and strict integrity. TheiI
stock is full 10 every department to the eye
OF casual observer, and yet Mr.. E. Levy, q
member OF the firm, well known for his
| musical ability and business talent, is in
New York selecting and buying the
largest stock of pianos and other To-
struments ever brought 10 this market. AL
ready over fifty pianos have been selected
| and half that number shipped. To look at
the crowded state OF the warerooms and the
| number of pianos on hand, many of them
yet unpacked, one naturally wonders
where they will find room for their new s.: ock
now on the way here. Such a growth in
prosperous and healthy trade has bad its
Legitimate effect in bringing them the sole
agency for the celebrated Steinway & Sons
piano and the Mason & Hamlin organ, in
addition to the renowned Weber piano, and
the Clough IL Warren organ, the Gabler
piano, Kranich & Bach pisno, New
England piano, Oriental Gem piano,
the PeloUbet Co. standard or
gan, and the Yell-known Smith
American organ, which they have previously
carried. From such an array of first class
instruments the most fastidious artist, or the
humblest artisan, could find one 10 suit his
taste and means, and get terms to suit his
convenience. The sheet aud book music Of
Z. Wiizmann IL Co. embraces every depart
ment of the art, and their stock is the result
of artistic and careful selection, unsurpassed
anywhere for educational and classic merit.
As music publishers Messrs. j.. Witzmann &
Co. are rapidly coming to the front, and have
already published nearly sixty new songs by
such artists as banks, Rutledge and Stra-
della, and number of instrumental mOrceaur
by Anton Strelezki, Mrs. G. H. Fits, Henry
Farmer and others. Their catalogue speaks
we'll for the enterprise and intelligence
that controls the house, and will soon
rival those now much better known
abroad Violin strings and other strings
of all kinds are made a special department
by Z. Wizmaun & Co, and The purchaser can
be sure of a good striDg-one worth mis-
money. The small instrument cstalpe ue is
complete-from fife up TO double bass-
and prices reasonable. E. Witzmsnn Il Co.
are part of thriving city. They own
their warerooms and pay no rents. Their
immense business has grown year by year,
and the prudence and honesty that have
their dealings have won them
a host of friends and made them the leading
music house OF the Southwest
