tence of unexpired leases held by the
occupants OF the buildings In ques-

near future, however, and the Messrs.

try. Already the firm does an enof-
nous business. For twenty-five years

linery for women and children, and OF
late years their sales have not been
/ confined solely to the retail trade, but
to the wholesale as we'll The firm
owns a large wholesale house direct

tiers. They employ ten statesmen tc
travel through the Eouth, and scarce
ly a day passes hut that milliners from
several of the smaller Southern cities
visit the establishment to purchase
stock.
