LARGE WHOLESALE

An Establishment Just Opened Which
Will Revolutionize the Dry

tion north or South,
One of th-e most important among
tbe new ttoreiopment* In the Macon
business world, is the opening of the
large wholesale dry goods and notion
house at 414 Fourth street, by ‘Mr.
Alex. B. Harris.
Mr. Harris expects to do a business;,
much on the same character aa that'
bo successfully operated by C. B. Rouse
of New York for a number, of yews.
Mr. Harris is an old Maoon boy, but
for some time past tba* resided a'wriy
from Macon, haying travelled a num
ber of years for Eckmjn & Vetsiberg,
and more recently for 'Meinhard Bros.-
& Co., both of Savannah. He now re
turns to his old home to embark In
business for himeielf, us he thinks Ma
con is one of the best points tu Georgia,
from which to (distribute his goods to
bis customers, and he reaches this con
clusion Intemigen^y, leaving traveled
Georgia and Alabama for the past
twelve years. His opinion has been
formed, it will be seen, from a personal,
knowledge of and experience with the
requirements of this territory. Ho
knows his future customers personally,
und win go before them as a candi
date for their patronage, not as a stran
ger, but us an old friend, the friend-
chip he has made toy reason of his cour
teous demeanor and business integri
ty. Wherever he la known he is es
teemed for hl« sterling business quali
ties end liked for his pleasant personal
address. The people of Macon Who
know Mm probably better than 'those
of any other city, commend him as one
worthy of the confidence and respect
of all, and the TeOegraph tout voices
their sentiments when it commends
him to the trade, as a gen-Homan to
whom the trade may turn with every
confidence of satisfactory business ar
rangements and pleasant associations.
The business of Mr. Harris will be
on a plan different from most Jobbers
in the 'South, inasmuch as he retains
and adheres to all that is good in the
old system of doing business, and
throws out that which is bad. His bus
iness will be conducted on n cash ba
sis, or thirty days limit to the best
trade, and at the very lowest prices, In
fact, he expects to sell goods less than
the regular market price at hll times,
and to enable him to do this, he has
made arrangements with one of the
shrewdest buyers in New Yoj*k city,
who will keep him supplied with the
b?st bargains that New York, with her
forced sales, can afford. This buyer
attends nil auction and sheriff sales,
buying, where goods can be picked up
for a song, with spot cash, and thus
Mr. Harris will, nt all times, toe sup
plied with Jobs and bargains that will
astonish the merchant who Was been in
the ha blit of buying his goods from the
regular Jobbers on long time. Not only
will close buying help him to make
low prices, but selling goods for cash,
will enable him to do business on a
much smaller percentage, pud he. can
also give his customers the advantage
of the Interest usually charged by the
long time Jobber. Each month he will
Issue to the trade a catalogue, called
"The Hustler" of ‘Macon, quoting his
prices and describing his goods. By this
means he expects to no away with the
expense of traveling men, nud thus giv
ing his patrons a big advantage by not
paying in other ways the drummer’s
expenses. A merchant can take this
catalogue, select from it any and nil
goods that he may,, require, mail fils
order -to Mr. Harris or "The Hustler."
Prompt attention to all orders and com
munications will be one of the princi
pal features of his business. Out-of-
town merchants will do well to make a
note of this and write at once for a
copy of Mr. Harris’ catalogue.
Look livto this system of doing busi
ness, givp It a trial and see if you can’t
make some money toy It. Surely it will
pay you *to come to Macon and be con
vinced where you can make a saving
of 25 per cent, on your imrtohnses, and
that is what Is promised you by the
Hustler of Mucon, . *
