NEW COMMISSION HOUSE.
Slowly but surely the wealth and talent of the country concentrate its large cities. The new house of Gregg & Hughes, which has just opened in Tyler Block, illustrates the truth of this remark. Mr. Gregg, of the leading distillers of the country, and a gentleman of great wealth and business ability has lately removed from Peoria, taken up his residences, and gone into business in this city. His partner, Mr. Hughes, late of the firm of McCabe & Hughes, packers of this city, is another gentleman of the same stamp. They will command the confidence the of the community. and have the means to meet the wants of the business in which they engage.

If you are an “Old Fogy,”
And like to see things done in the “good old way,” I don’t want to see you. But if you are an energetic, enterprising man, and believe that there may be a “new thing under the sun,” I can put in the way of doubling your maney in thirty days.

YOUNG MAN,
Why Stand Ye Idle all the Day Long?
Spending your last $50 for board seeking business, which you will not get until your money is gone and you look so seedy that your friends will not recognize you, when you could take the same money and purchase a county right to sell and manufacture Dr. Corbin’s Excelsior Patent Bag Holder, and clear from $500 to $1,000 in one or two months. This is a useful and cheap article that every farmer who raises grain wants and will have it if he has an opportunity. Town, County and State Rights for sale at a bargain. Send for circular, with stamps, or call on

Room 11 Tyler’s Block, 17 LaSalle-st., Chicago.
