The company will, when they are quite ready to increase their already large business, have four travelling men out representing the firm in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. They are already much encour aged by tho excellent patronage that has beon their portion, but expect at au early day to increase it largely.

He waa for ten years with the firm of Dowie ft Moise. Mr. Geer is personally acquainted with nearly every druggist in South Carolina, and has patrons wherever he has been.
