Tuesday afternoon we had the pleasure
of taking 8 stroll through Mr.. G. A
Reeds building, on North Main Street
and inspecting his large stock of sewing
machines, pianos, organs, buggies, car
riages, etc, and we must confess that W.
were agreeably surprised to know wha
an immense business he is doing. Mr.
Reed occupies Il, 500 square feet OF space
and each department is kept full of th
goods he handles. We venture the asser
J. ton that there is not another business
house in the State engaged in his line o
trade that can show as largo stock o
machines, vehicles, pianos and organs a
Mr.. Reed. He buys direct from the man
ufacturer, and consequently is able tt
meet any competition in prices and terms
It is worth any PERSONS time to visit hi
establishment Mr.. Reed left yesterda,
for the Northwest for the purpose o
adding to his stock, and when he return
he will be better prepared than over befor
to meet the demands of his trade, whici
is increasing every day.
Mountain Creek takes the cake. Th
best order and most attentive gathering
