AUSPICIOUS OPENING.

And Great Success of a NewHouse. y Large wholesale houses usually obtain prominence byyears Qf patient industry, and do not start off fully equipped with expert clerks, surplus cash and eager customers, upon a large business career. Public conndence and popular favor are the growth of time. The exceptions to this law are phenomenal and always attract attention by their novelty. An instance of this kind is furnished by the unexampled success of the new dry goods firm of ~j BURKE, WALKER A CO., occupying the five-story bloclq 100 by 166 feet, 230 to 236 Adams street. Beginning business thgre last January, Under exceptionally favorable auspices, their trade has more than doubled their expectations, and 1s increasing beyond all precedent. Mr. Burke for the fast twenty-five years, has occupied a leading position in tiic.wfiolesale trade of Chicago. is favorably known to the business men of the West, and, by previous training and business experience, is specially well fitted for this enterprisfe. ' Mr. Walker, for the last five years, was the business manager of the great Dry Goods house of A. T. Stewart <t Co., in Chicago, and was trained to the business and familiarized with the details of a vast dry goods trade in the New York house. He has added to his knowledge of the dry goods trade in the East a thorough acquaintance with the condition and wants of this trade in the West. As the firm of A. T. Stewart A Co. was retiring frpm business, they secured the services of a large corps of their clqrk.s and salesmen, so that the house thus organized knew the standing and had the good will of Western merchants at the start. Importing largely, they have been singularlyfortunate in their foreign connections in selecting one of the most competent, experienced aryl trustworthy experts in foreign gbods at the head of their European house. Such a combination of favorable conditions rarely unites in the persons of so competent num to inaugurate their entrance upon a great mercantile enterprise as attended the introduction of this new house to the dry goods trade of Chicago. Both the active partners are in the prime and vigor of manhood, and good representatives of the class 4>f merchants who have given character, wealth and fame to Chicago, With ample capital, abounding industry and enterprise, courteous and affable manners adapted to make and retain friends, and a resolute purpose to win success by deserving it, and with the hearty good will of their contemporaries, this house has taken a very prominent part in the dry goods trade of the West. It is the union of active, experienced memliers of old, large and eminently successful houses in a new firm, to conduct a business which they thoroughly understand, in a field. in which they are well and favprably known. ‘ Little Johnny, who has been observing the diffi sully with which gorged mosquitoes fly, remarks to his little brother at the breakfasttable : “If you eat so much you will die, Billv, and be an angle, but you won’t be able to fly much. ” — Texas Siftings.

(M, says that for nine mouths he could not raise his hand to his head through lameness in the shoulder, but by the use of Thomas’ Eclectric Oil he was entirely cured. Curran, the witty Irish barrister, was plead-in-r the cause of a certain Miss Tickle. The Judge was also a bit of a wit. and opened his case with : “Tickle my client, the defendant, my Lord—” The Judge interrupted him with : “Tickle her yourself, Curran; you’re as well able to do it as I am.” Vennor’s Predictions. Vsnnor’s predictions so fai - have been wonderfully correct. He says 1886 will be remembered as a year of great mortality. German Hop Bitters ifliould be Used by everybody.
