LET me congratulate you on your new
store" 81 wish you great success in your
new quarters" These and similar kind ex-
pressions were rendered US during the past
week. They relate to the change of our
business location from 129 Congress street
to 1873 Broughton, in Lyons Block.
For the past twenty-six years we stood by
good old Congress street, at one time the re-
tail business street of Savannah, and even
as one after the other of our neighbOrs de-
parted, we still chung to it for the sake of
associations. Want of room to display our
| yearly increasing stock. which forced US
| last year to rent additional room at 140
| Congress street, compelled us at last, after
| several fruitleSs efforts to enlarge our prem
ises to secure the present quarters, which
were offered to us ten years ago, when first
erected. The late war has brought to Sa-
vannah many changes, and its present pros
| perlty can be traced not only to her live
merchants, but also to those who first built
it on firm and solid foundation. The Com
mercial City of the Empire State South
| was represented by men who gave her
name and fame, both at home and abroad
A galaxy of men of the highest integrity
and honor: anderson, BdtterSby, Brig
ham, Cohen, CuyLer, Duncan, GammeH,
| Gordon, Green, HdberShdn, Hdrdee,
| detfOrd, SOrreL, SOuIidrd, TiSon, Villa
Tonga, WddJey, Weed. etc.
We look back upon these Savannah com
mercial representatives with pleasure and
| esteem, aye reverence. In changing our
| locality of business, we have, however, not
altered one iota of our old time principles
of business. We expect to be equal to the
| demands of the pres Mt times but we wor-
ship something higher than the so-called
oil Ion i
are great factors in every undertaking, but
if associated with humbug, swindle and
fraud, they will some time or other come
to an inglOrious end, house built upon
sand There died in Washington a few
| days ago man ripe in years, for whom the
entire nation mourned, and whose body
was laid to its last rest with the greatest
honors, followed by a concourse of Amer
| ica's most distinguished men. Although
comparatively poor man, he left rich
legacy to his family, by the side of which
diamonds and gold sink into insignificance
an honorable, truthful and incorruptible
| life His name was Waite, Chief Justice of
the United States.
| A few days after his demise, there laid in
the last throes of death in New York, an
other conspicuous man, also old in years,
rich in worldly possessions Accumulated
| by dishonest means, swindle and fraud. he
| died sentenced convict, and the doors of
Sing Sing were open to him to meet his
partners in crime. prostitutedthe name
of New York city and purchased with his
gold corruptible men to vote away a val
liable franchise of the city. His death
brought a sense of relief to the entire CITY
| of New York His remains were followed
only by the members of his family, and in
the most clandestine manner The name of
Jacob Sharp is cursed and detested by all
honest men, as we'll by his confederates,
who either languish in prison or exile.
| What forcible lesson the lives of these two
men, Waite and Sharp, teach us.
We are now ready for business, and ask
our old patrons and as many new ones as
possible to call at 1873 Broughton street,
where we will be happy to serve them.
