SUFFER- BROS.
Largest Leaf Tobacco Dealers in
America,

mia, this is beyond question the
widest and most favorably
known Of the numberless houses
engaged in the same line Of
trade.
The firm is composed of the
six following named parties:
Messrs. Adolph Suffer, Louis
P.Sutter. Victor U. Suffer, John
e. Suffer, Jacob Suffer and Edo
ward A. Suffer.
The headquarters of this enor-
nous business is located in New
York City. Their commodious
and elegantly equipped New
York offices are located respec,
lively at Nos. 174 and 176 Pearl
street, and in point of conven.
fence and elegance combined, it
is the successful rival of any
suite of commercial offices, not
only in Greater New York, but
it may safely be claimed that for
all the combined essentials of
beauty, without gorgeousness,
comfort without Inviting indo-
lence, and utility with all the
convenient appliances suggest
ed by the higher attainments of
electricity and art, its superb
appointments would have ex-
cited the envy of the princess
and kings of the old world, could
they have been permitted to
have witnessed an approach to
the symmetrical and unostenta-
tious arrangements of these
modern affairs.
To the thoughtful and liber-
ally disposed mind these COM
Portable quarters are at once
suggestive of wisdom coupled
with utility; it is here that a
very large proportion of these
gentlemen's time is spent, and
being naturally of cheerful and
genial temperaments and fancy,
they evince their usual wisdom
IN thus inviting a constant sun
light of good cheer and happy
surroundings.
Ii is here that the trade is well
coined and received with all the
genuine cordiality and hospi-
tally for which this firm has
been SO long celebrated. Under
these considerations even the
visiting stranger is at once set
upon a free and comfortable
social or business footing, and
all suggestions of strained inn
perious hearing arc lost sight of
in the beauty and sincerity of
their proffered gracious well
come.
There can be no we'll regulat-
ed business without a head, a
manager. The efficient BUSH
ness education and practical ex'
perience, coupled with all the
requisites of a successful gov
ernor, as eyinced in many less
weighty, but none the less rec
sponsible positions, eminently
fitted Mr.. John 4. Suffer fol

The selection and election oil
Mr.. John Il. Suffer to this tryinl
and most responsible position

of the firms estimate of his bus
mess capacity. In nothing ha

more than IN the wisdom he ha
displayed in naming as his lieu
