FALMOUTH HOTEL.
John K. Martin, Proprietor.


There is nothing of which as class the citizens
OF Portland take more pride in than they do in the
good name OF the Falmouth Hotel which has a rem
es rarely duplicated in cities of this size The bouse
was built by the late Hon.John Brown at cost If
half million dollars. 1t was fitted and furnished
on par with any hotel in the world and opened to
the public in June, 1868. 1t is no doubt that the
house was at that period too large for the city, and
ing it, financial disaster followed the efforts of each
succeeding landlord, until its present proprietor
John X. Martin, took the helm, from which time
for reasons which We will not shock Mr.. Martin S
modesty by mentioning, the enterprise has been a
marked and decided success.
Few of our readers, perhaps are aware of the
great benefit the successful conducting of this house
means for the development of our ciLy'S trade
Some facts, out Of the many, on this point may be
OF interest: Mr.. Martin expends every month be-
tween 81 1000 and SIS 900 among our merchants
1or supplies alone. He has on his payroll more
Lhan hundred people, whose wages eventually
mas ITS way into the tills Of our merchants. The
mouse annually consumes I 200 tons of coal, 500
barrels OF Hour, 1,2U0 bushels of potatoes, 5000
cans OIL milk 200 900 pounds of meats, 10000 doz-
en- eggs, 400 900 pounds of ice, and numerous 9th
u commodities which we have no room for mention
Last year IL accommodated seventy-two thousand
transient people, in addition to its regular boarders
ana many private and public parties.
- FROM these facts it may be plainly seen that the
halloQ1h ifotel Is greater help to the financial

That Mr. Martin should be ENCOURAGED in his nm
Cer1aAlng by every means within the power of our
cltlzens cannot be questioned by any man who has
the welfare OF our city at heart He is n most

Wholesale Dealers In CrocKery, GLASS; &C.
Especially to our readers at q distance for whom
this business review is more particularly designed,
some facts with regard to the most extensive china
and glassware establishment in the East may not
only prove interesting, but ultimately profitable.
We refer to the old-established house OF Chas. H.
Jose q Co., which was founded in 1869, and during
all these years has undergone change in its bust
ness policy. This policy, however, has oceasioned
no small change III the resources, facilities and
premises of the firm which many times greater
than they were twenty years ago. and even then the
house was regarded as prominent one in the trade
Of the city. During this period the facilities have
been amplifed to such an extent that the premises
now occupied by them at the corner of Congress
and Prebe Streets are the largest in the State and
rank among the finest and most extensive in the
country.
So far as the character and extent of their stock
concerned, we may say that their importations are
constantly afoat from the potteries Of Japan,
China, Germany, France and England. 1t embraces
diversity simply impossible to describe, frsm the
expensive ornaments in china, glass, crockery and
lamp goods, Lows arttiling for hearths, hrepaees,
etc. and in short every conceivable article that
would properly come under these general headings.
In the matter of silver plated ware of all manutac-
lures, this firm sell MORE wholesale and retail, than
all other dealers in Maine combined.
With every facility afforded by experience, credit
and connections, for making direct importations,
and purchasing only from first hands or manufac-
turers, the firm are constantly in position to deal
upon the most favorable terms with their Gus
toners.
The success of this house may be attributed to a
strict adherence to its representations as well as
liberal policy, which recognizes and promotes the
interests of others in every just and available

agencies, in this community is such that in depjct
ing the commercial, manufacturing and other ad-
Vantages of our city we should be 10th to omit
mention OF an institution that adds SO largely to
the financial aud good reputation of our city by
transacting business of such magnitude that has
but few equals in the country and giving satisfac-
ton TO all who are interested in it.
From its inception to the present time the career
OF this company, under careful, conservative man
agement has proved successful one in the highest
sense as may be readily inferred from the fact thai
their assets are now over six millions of dollars
Its surplus has steadily increased in amount yearly
Tor several years past, which is evidence of the
skill retained in its management. These figures are
an overwhelming commentary and reveal healthy
and prosperous condition worthy of the HIGHEST
praise. With a board of managers and directors
representing solid wealth. reliability and success
tho interests of the company are not likely to be-
come less important, OF its usefulness decrease on
the contrary 1t may be assumed from the past that
the organization will continue its career at the
heao or all contemporaneous institutions doing
business In this section of the country.
. Inc nne building owned and occupied by them at
the corner of Congress and Exchange streets is one
OF the handsomest structures in the city and as an
investment for the company, forms a splendid mon
ument OF the enterprise and wealth of the institu-
ton. The large and widely extended business
Transacted by the company ranges nearly all over
the United States and in every respect their opera
