Dear Strive are pleased Ia have the

derived by sending your tobacco there.
We have appropriated q splendid new
warehouse for the special accommodation
of Maryland tobacco, and will deliver your
hogsheads into it from any point Of arrival,
in Baltimore, lrith0Wd Ey chdrg6 for drdydg6;
and thus being placed at the waters edge
where most of the foreign vessels arc load
ed, you will perceive an additional saving
of drayage or sewage, which, although
paid by the buyer, comes ont of the tobacco
ITSELF because il is estimated rs part Of the
cost 10 the purchaser, and consequently
deducted from the price. II is therefore
apparent that the aggregate saving upon
the $4,000 hhds. OF Maryland tobacco
would be very considerable, if handled in
this way, and the net result to the planting
interest correspondingly increased
Your tobacco will be inspected as
promptly as desired, and the samples care
fully and neatly arranged, delivered i'm
mediately at your commission merchants
office, wherever located in Baltimore City,
without any charge.
Our warehouses are easy and convenient
of access by street cars, upon which free
transportation will be provided our Gus

Our office is located in the midst of the
tobacco trade, and has private telephone
communication with the warehouses en-
abling the prompt and convenient tranSac-
ton of all business connected with them.
Ii should &c observed that our establish
mcnt is not new or experimental enter
prise to meet the eXigeucies of tLc present
occasion, but has 5,eH IL successor! ny.ordtion
for tel, gears, and, because of its rcal ddrtH-
tdgcs, has handled more than eighty per
cent. of all the tobacco coming 10 Baltimore
for inspection and not subject 10 the com
pulsory law. Its reliability and response
bility are established and recognized, and the
samples have currency, not only in
Baltimore, but elsewhere. This naturally
enhances the value of the tobacco. by
enabling its sale in foreign and home
markets without the necessity Of removing
the hogsheadS and mourning the cost and
damage of rcinspecting them for that pur-
pose.
Our Inspector, Mr. John Eyerfeld, who
has been with us for the greater part of The
ten years, is thoroughly competent and
reliable, and il will be his object Ia issue
samples which, with filR and dny}e jsstjcc

purchasers; thus fairly representing the
tobacco, Il .TuH price is assured. That Is to
say. the samples doing full justice II the

At, establishes, beyond reasonable doubt,
practical means Of selling il in Baltimore
for all il is worth.
Should the extent Of our patronage JUST
fy it, we shall engage another Inspector,
subject TO the approval and interest Of ouF
customers.
No storage will be charged for six
months after the date of inspection; and
there being no charge for parts of months,
the result is nearly or quite seven months
free storage. As the bulk of the Maryland
crop is disposed of during that period, this
amounts to practical exemption from any
storage charge st all to the planter.
In order 10 facilitate the delivery OF your
