Young head OF this house has in
A few years. through untiring energy
and business integrity, built up q
trade and perfected grocery estab-
ishment that would grace any city.
His corps OF nine gentlemanly clerks are
most gracious in their polite attentions,
while the business OF serving customers /,
accurately attended to by i've porterS with
five handsome wagons. His store Is al
WAYS sweet and clean, and is filled with all
kinds OF choice Christmas comforts. One
is fairly puzzled with the array OF tempt
inc articles. Trufiles. mushrooms, Canton
ginger, pum-pudding. raisins. citron, cur
rants. mince.meat. cordlals, Jamaica rum,
Scotch whiskey,' Holland gin, old rye whis-
KEYS. old Smithfeld hams. buckwheat. and
