Inc aDlllty Oh CITY 10 compete III
the wholesale grocery trade is the
true test of its commercial greatness.
The centering of railroads, with the
Ohio river connecting this city with a
vast territory, supports a wholesale
trade, which is one of the largest in
this section Of the United States. The
grocery trade of Wheeling has long
stood foremost among her jobbing
interest, and has thus far the present
year maintained its wonted vigor.
The transactions have been heavy,
while the outlook would indicate that
sales will largely exceed that Of last
year. The representatives in this i'm
portant trade have given it notable
and commendable elevation through
conservative and liberal methods.
The stocks carried are immense,
in which there are hundreds of thou
sands of dollars successfully invested.
The marketin this city affords sups
rior inducements to the dealers in the
Ohio Valley and the surrounding ter
ritory, for not only are prices as low,
but on some less than in other mark
cts. That this fact is fully apprecia-
ted is amply demonstrated by the fol
lowing successful firms.
