New York drummer about stores and
merchants is not a thing to be
snoozed at. Saturday morning we
were standing in tront of Barrett’s
store when a specimen of the genus
drummer, passed up that way, and
said he, well, I’ve been looking over
Houston, and have been directed a
dozen times to see Barrett’s store
and here it is :
Yes! Well, and what do you see?"
He walked in; he looked at the
shelves, filled to overflowing and in-
exhaustible repletion with every ar-
ticle that was ever conceived of in the
grocery business.
“Well, really, said he, “I am as-
tonished. A town that contains such
houses as this is not dead. As long
as there is in Houston such a place as
