By careful examination Of the commercial
facilities enjoyed by this city, we find that
among it. contemporaries the house of F. G.
kinsman & Co., who are located corner
Bridge and Water streets, and Fuller drug
store" as one of the most important. This
distinction is accorded not only from the fact
that the house is one of the most reliable of
its kind in the State, but in the magnitude of
its operations, and the enterprise of its
business policy, it may be regarded as occu-
plying an eminent position, and exerting
marked influence upon the uade. Occu-
plying centrally-located premises, the
firm possess every appliance and facility
necessary for the successful prosecutions of
their large and constantly growing trade
and also ample accommodation for the extern
sive stock which they usually carry of drugs
and chemicals, patent medicines, trusses, dye
stuffs. toilet articles, fancy goods, etc.. etc.
all of which they can furnish, at both
wholesale and retail, of as excellent quality
and at as low prices as may be obtained from
any similar concern in New England.
Embracing the whole range of articles per-
tanning 10 the trade, this house enjoys a
position unusually favorable for atording its
patrons substantial advantages, and with
ample facilities and valuable and heightened
experience, Messrs. +. G. Kinsman & Co.,
are fully entitled to the success which they
have achieved, and the general consideration
with which they are regarded.
