Office -Court Houso Square, Columbia, S. C. Feb 3 Charleston Advertisements. CARD. TD THE Ml OF THE SOUTH. THE undersigned, WHOLESALE DEAL? ERS, advise you of the fact that Charleston is again a market for the pur? chase of goods; and in view of the early opening of the Spring Trade, we beg to solicit the resumption of the patronage so hberally extended to this market in the past. We are aware that many old and respected firms will be missed from our number, but many familiar names will be found in new associations, ready to supply the wants of the trade as of yore, and other old and now firms will be added to our number at an early day. The cash and short credit system having been universally adopted in all the North? ern markets, we are necessarily compelled to adopt a like system as the only safe one on which to conduct business, and the heavy per centage once necessary to cover bad debts will now be avoided. Small pro? fits and quick returns will bo the rule, and under its working ive hope not only to restore to our ancient city its former pros? perity, but to extend her trade to the full extent of the capabilities her excellent geographical position and natural advan? tages afford. Our interest and ambition combine to stimulate us in attaining this result. Tho South Carolina Railroad is now open to Columbia, and its President has officially informed us that the Augusta line will be completed to Blackville this month, and that on the first of February he will receive through freight to Augusta. A linc of steamers to Savannah will afford facilities for shipping in that direction. It is our purpose to have in store, by the last of Fcbruarv, a complete and varied assort? ment of goods in our respective Unes adapted to the Spring Trade, and every exertion shall be made to promote your interests. We extend to you thc hand of commer? cial fellowship, and solicit your co-opera? tion and patronage in our efforts to make Charleston the centre of Southern trade. Give us the encouragement we ask, and you will enjoy all the advantages of a cheap nome market, Dry Goods. W. T. Burge & Co. Edwin Bates & Co. J. R. Read Sc Co. .Strauss, Vance A Co.
