GENERAL MERCHANDISE.
$. T.. TEASDEL.

|
Passing through Fast Temple street or
the west side person cannot but be at
tracted by the number of signs on tho
block bearing the name of Teasdel The
reason of this is that Mr.. S. p. Teasde
occupies that portion of it lying between
Nos. $50 to 40, having four distinct and
separate stores, stocked respectively with
different kinds of merchandise, and as a
whole embodying every grade of goods
ana merchandise generally found in a
large-sized town. In this colossal estab-
llshment there are no "Rooms to Rent. -
On the contrary, the whole Of the build
ing is occupied from cellar to garrett, and
even then is apparently inadequate to
hold the immense stock of goods. The
building has frontage of 80 feet and is
100 feet deep, about half of the depth in
'front.' being used in each respective store
as a salesroom, and the back as store
rooms for the class of merchandise kent
IN front The conducting of the business
of these stores is so finely systemized
that no one store interferes in any way
with the business of the other, and the
goods from each and the business done
by each are kept distinctly separate. The
basement is used for all classes of salt
meats, vegetables and all perishable
goods, and the upper story is used for
storerooms in addition to the stores in
the back.
In the first store to the South, No. 1873.
is kept hardware on one side and gro.
ceries on the other. This is one of the
most extensive of the lines of business
carried on. There are number of clerks
engaged in this department, and the way
they are kept hurrying around waiting
on trade indicates large amount of sales
IN these lines. In connection with this
department is an immense wholesale
shipping trade in green and dried fruit in
their seasons, and the luscious products
OF Utah are thereby shipped nearly all
over the United States.
Next comes No. 1885, the store for GEN
eral ladies' wear, including dry goods of |
all classes, and next No. 1874, ladies' and |
children's shoes, etc. The admirable fea- |
ture OF thess departments are that ladies' |
can enjoy large extent OF privacy and |
exemption from embarrassing scrutiny in
the selection OF their shoes and other
wearing apparel This is an advantage
much appreciated by ladies and a large
share OF the patronage rendered this
store is due solely to it. Last but not
east is the mems department, which
'outains mems clothing aud furnishing
foods, boots and shoes, hats and in fact
full assortment of gentlemen's ware in
General.
Mr.. Teasdel is a man OF sterling busi.
less qualities, OF kind and oblging dis
'osltion, and honest, straightforward
BUSINESS principles. These characteristics.
ogether with great insight into and able
xecution of mercantile affairs, Justly
ecures TO him the large trade which he
ow enjoys.

One of the principal business establish. [
tents in Salt Lake City is the wholesale
nd retail store Of Messrs. Barnes & Davis
he plain and unpreten,ious frontage of the
ore and its general appearance from with. !
II Is decidedly insignificant of the vastness t
this establishment and the amount of {
lslness carried on therein. That the 1
Stent OF their trade and their enormous c
ock of goods does not appear on the sur t
ce Is Tact which was plainly manifested +
the reporter who was shown through the o
hiding. They have the basement, upper
DRY and other storehouses in the city
DIVIDED to Overlooking with all grades of e
erchandise, The principals of which are {
ocerles, dry goods boots and shoes, hats "
Id caps Although they do an immense a
tail trade, their wholesale trade is still n
eater factor OF their business, and the a
lality OF their goods and their ability TO h
IL at low prices are rendered prima facie Il
the tact that from all over Utah and the a
rounding Territories they receive g
Imerons orders daily, unsolicited by either ii
ummer or agent y
They are sole agents for the celebrated =,

piosive POWDER as also Demerests nat. h

cycles. Personally, the members of the h

IS is their inclination and evident ability !,
