JOBBING TRADE.

As jobbing center the situation of San
Antonio cannot be eXcelled. The city is
on the shortest and most direct routes
to the northern southern, eastern and west.
ern markets. BY reason of this it COM
mands an unlimited territory, not only the
State of Texas, but a much larger scope,
reaching far into Old Mexico and north
into the Indian Territory, New Mexico,
etc. AS fast as new railroads are extended,
it is followed by an expansion of the job
bling trade with districts not hitherto occu.
pied. New establishments will find in San
Antonio an inviting aud renumerative trade.
There is no reason why San Antonio should
not in the near future be one of the largest
wholesale points in the entire south. Dur
lug the past year San Antonio jObbers have
pushed their trade into new territory, I'M
til now they are firmly established in terri
tory that was until recently claimed by
other cities as their exclusive field. In the
lines of goods ha ldled by San Antonio job
bers can be found almost any article of
necessity or luxury, and prices are as of a
necessity as low as any competing points.
A prominent factor in the growth of a
city is her retail trade, aud few cities, if
any, in the entire south or southwest can
be found superior to the San Antonio trade.
San Antonio citizens live on the fat OF the
land Practical butchers kill and offer
for sale fresh goods in their line. The
rrooaro ronly with tba fornmOSt in tho waSt
The Outer.man can also be well provided
for. The city boasts of a number of ex.
tsnsIye stores furnishing clothing of all
kinds which to decorate from head TO foot.
The shoe stores do large and thriving
business, carrying complete stock Of
goods and aim to satisfy their customers
whatever he may need in this line. In
the stock of dry goods, dress goods and the
and one articles of comfort and
elegance allied thereto and demanded by
the gentler sex, San Antonio dealers ex-
cell both as to quality and quantity. TAX
en- all in all our city is pre-eminently re-
tail market, and many of the handsOmest |
houses are occupied by firms thus en-
ployed.
