KUPPENHEIMER

NIMf*l?TE SATURDAY EVENING \»AII.. MARCH 9, 1872.

Capi. John H. Dickerson—well known in this city—for uteri of the United States army, died at St. Louis, on Sa-. turday last aged fifty-one years. He was a native of this founty, and was aprxjinted from here as cadet to West Point. Several of his brothers and sisters reside inXost Creek Township.

I received

your paper on Saturday evening and you ought to have witnessed the scene at our house in the perusal of its bright pages, fairly sparkling with good things. I got it out of the post office took it home, and, seated by the blazing fire, while I held it, my wife looked over one shoulder, my eldest daughter, a girl of sixteen—you saw her in your office with me on Monday—looked over the other shoulder, and little Ned got between my knees and read the oppo site pages. And so we read and read, away into the night, closing with the personal mention of business men, on the eighth page. Every line was read —even the advertisements, for I believe you have the best advertisements of any paper I ever saw—and whild in every column there was a pleasing variety, and all were of absorbing interest, I must say that your two columns of busines personals were of most benefit,for they told us where to go to trade and we resolved to go to Terre-Haute on Monday. So on Monday morning all four of us got on the train, and soon the street car landed us at the TerreHaute House, which I see has been greatly improved. Dinner over, we set out to do our shopping. I had brought The Miil along as a guide, and so we commenced wiih

Blio's,

where I found John, with his ever smiling face, and iny old time friend Tom Carr. I was soon fitted out with a complete suit ot clothes, ready made, as good as if gotten up, on order, by a merchant tailor,and at much less price. I shall tell all my friends to give John Kuppenbeimer a call when they want a nice, neat, well fitting suit. I know he can please them. •, J} ERLANGER A CO, In the Opera House building was next visited, for little Ned wanted an outfit. and I saw by tbe Mail that they make a specialty of boy's clothing. Their stock in this line is very full and complete, and I had no difficulty in fitting him out with a spanking little suit that made him feel prouder even 'than his father in bis store clothes. Tho enterprise of Erlanger «fe Co. in keeping up such a stock of boy's clothing must prove a great convenience to mothers in the city.

W. H. BANNISTER.

While in the clothing line, we ran over to Bannister's he, who, you remember, used to fit out our boys with soldier clothes. He had just returned 'rom tbe east and said he was looking for the largest and finest stock of Spring goods for gent's wearing spparel that had ever been brought to the city. He was very impatient at the delay In receipt of the same, and if he hadn't been such a pious man, I really believe ho would have said some bad words about the slow railroad freight trains.

Ot?LICK

BERRY,

Tho well known druggists, who have an enviable popularity up our way, came next in turn for a visit. Here my wife selected for herself and daughter a complete new outfit of perfumery, toilet articles, combs, brushes, seaps, etc., of which they have, I believe, the largest stock in the city. I am happy to say that I have no Use now fur drugs and medicines, so I didn't buy any but I noticed their store was crowded while we were there. It must be awful unhealthy in Terre* Haute, or else Gulick A Berry are selling all t^e drugs.

I** JBALIay

"Dick," as we call him for short, was next called on, for Julia—that's my daughter's name—said she bad seen tiut The Mail said he bad enough bird cages to supply the whole city, and I really do believe he has. Soch beauties, too. He showed me his stoves, snd made soch an impression on my wife that I shall have to bay one the next time I come to town. "Dick" can beat sny man I ever ssw talking stove. He Is clever gentiemsn snd thoroughly understands his business.

COOK a DAVIS.

Speaking of oookiag stoves my wifo reminded me that she mast have some flavoring extracts for pies, paddings and cskes, snd that the drag store of Cook A Davis wss the plaoe to get them, for they manufactured their own extracts, and so she knew that they were pare. They have a very neat establishment, on Ohio street, well stocked with drags, chemicals, paints, perfumeries, toilet articles, Ac. rrrsa

miixbk,

I found la the old post office building, who soon salted my wants with an ele

gant band siituhed buggy harness, and I think I will go back next week for a set of wagon harness. He mskes tbe best harness I exer saw, and I have looked around a good deal in my life time. vw-jvLL-

CORYA CO.

I am going to build this Spring, and so I called at Cory A Co.'s for my nails, and other articles to be used in building, and I found that The Mail was right in advising builders, mechanics, farmers and all others to go to Cory A Co. for the best and cheapest hardware. They believe in quick sales and small profits, and practicing what they preach, are doing a big business.

MOORE

HEGGARTY,

You said keep tho uiarbleized mantle, which is now being adopted everywhere. I am going to put up a real elegant house—(I want you to come up and see it when completed)—and after seeingthemarbleized mantle,and learning how cheap Moore A Heggatty sell them, I would have no othei in my house, and so gave them an order, with grates to match. -f

DICKHOUT.

Across the street I observed a lifelike sign of a man supporting a trunk, and knew at once it was Dickhout's^of whom I had heard so much. Going over I was astonished at the extent of bis manufactory and the stock on band. That visit ciused me to purchase a trunk for wile, one for daughter, and an elegant traveling valise for myself.

DUDDLESTON

BRO.

Coming back I observed a new and elegant cigar store, in the Gilbert Block, next to Strong's. Stepping inside I was gratified to find that Duddleston Brothers, who used to be opposite the post office had just moved ins They have the finest brands of smoking tobacco and cigars. I was gratified at getting three clear Havana cigars for twenty-five cents.

S. R. FREEMAN.

Here wife remarked that Friday of next week was her birthday, and hinted something about a present. So we dropped in at S. R. Freeman's and looked through his elegant stock of jewelry. A fancy was taken to a beautiful chain for a lady's watch, and it was so cheap that I gladly gratified her dosire by purchasing it. Freeman can't be beat in stock or prices.

BARTLETT A CO.

Ned and Julia wanted some school books, and wifo and I some stationery, so we dropped in at B. G. Cox's. I was surprised to find my young friend Jud Button, the Co. part of BirilettA Co., behind the counter. Then I learned that Bartlett A Co. had bought out Mr Cox and intended to run both stores— this and their old stand lower down on Main street. I was really glad of this arrangement, for hereafter I shall not have to divide my patronage as heretofore. 5T. ANDREWS.

I always buy my shoes of N. An drews, because he keeps the best stock and sells at the lowest prices, and then it is a real pleasure to trade with him, he is so clever and sociable. I got complete outfit for wife, daughter and little Ned, and left my measure for a pair of boots, for he gets up the best custom made boots made in TerreHaute. I also got a pair of rubbeis for each of the family, for at this season of tne year they keep the feet so dry, warm and comfortable.

TUTTLE'a TEA'STORK'

Was next visited, and I want it distinctly understood that I am not the old gentleman bo advertises in the Express, who walked into bis store and borrowed bis spectacles with which to look at his cheap coffees and sugars, and then walked off with the spectacles. Tbe fact is, there is no ueed of spectacles to see that be has the best at.d cheapest sugars, coffees, teas, fec. in the city. By the way, that was a good joke the Express got off on Tuttle about the cranberries. It was entitled "a sure cure for corns," and went on to say: First find out which toe the corn Is on then bind cranberries on with a clean rag smash the cranberries and corn with a hammer. Tuttle will sell you cranberries."

r.th'e

rippetoe.

I looked all through the list for the name of R. W. Rippetoe—tho popular grocery man who runs the street car in your paper on which the conductor is told to stop at the "White Front," No. 155—and failing to see any mention of him, I stopped to see what was tbe matter. I tell you, Perry, he blowed you up for not noticing him like Major Smith did every week, but I told him that it must have been an oversight, caused by the many other things yon had to look after, (and I don't see bow you did think of so much to put in your paper the first time.) He thought so too. And then I told him to put me up my usual slluwance of groceries snd provisions, for 1 was nearly oat of everything. That's tbe way I always do with Rippetoe. He keeps everything in bis line thst can be found in tbe market, and be knows as well what a family wants ss the head of tbe family does himself. Tell the readers of The Mall that they ought to read Rippetoe's advertisement and local notices every week, and then patroniso an man---that's Rippetoe.

T. J. LANOFORD. "i:honest

After setting Rippetoe straight

I I «. -4

called

on Tom Langford, and asked him why The Mall didn't mention his establishment every week, like it did the others. Tom replied that he guessed It would now that it had changed hahds, for, he said you were a good friend of his, if yoa didn't drink. He filled my order and handed me his card which reads sa follows: "Tea Jay Langford, Holesall deetsr In farreign and Domestick Lick-

ers?. One 70 one Mane streat, Ttrry Hoote Injeanny." I. B. ZaTNX.

It was |retty near train time, and snd while my folks got on their things at the Terre-Haute House, I went across the way to J. B. Lyne's ior some some liquors for "medicinal purposes." Yoa know he keeps only the best snd purest Scotch, Irish and Kentucky whiskies, and he keeps the Ecdbever Carte Blanche Champagne, tbe best.

SCOTT SHOAP.

Telling the folks to go on the street car to the depot, 1 walked out,stopping on the way at Scott Shoafs on Main street, just west of the canal, for a stock of cigars and tobacco. He keeps the finest brands at the lowest prices, and the most fastidious smokers are always captivated by his manufacture, I advise my friends to try a cigar ol his make

IN CONCLUSION

I can never sufficiently thank you for having directed my footsteps to the above named business meu of TerreHaute. Hoping you may live long and and prosper, I am

We claim to sell goods lower than any Retail House in our line of business In the dtjr.

A few Substantial Reasons why we can do so.

1st. We pay no r#nt and in thH way ssve what costs other grooery bouses from two to six per esot. on every dollars worth of foods Ibeysell. 3d. We bar oar goods from manufacturers aad Int hsnds, snd In this way make a saving in our sverace of stlesxt four per sent.

Id. Our «Ues are at toast doable, if not treble those of any other ictai grocery in town, snd as this greater amount of buainew esa be done st only little mors expense, it follow* that we can on tbla account reduce oar profits at laaat five per sent. 4th. Betas ambitious to build up a still larger business we are salfcded with a moeb •mailer profit than many of our competitors.

TO RECAPITULATE,
