Sullivan Hardware < 'o. have a regular Wholesale Department, aud since opening same their trade has incroaseii in volume very rapidly. In this age of sharp competi tion, merchants aro looking more closely after prices, and they are Unding that they can buy at wholesale Irom this bouse cheaper than by sending their orders sway from home aud paying freights. The reason for this is that the Sullivan Hardware Co. aro alwsys wideawake and make contratas ahead with the manufac turer direct; besides they employ a rosi dent buyer in New York, with branch offices In other cities, who keep in touch with all large factories, which gives this bouse the advantage of knowing just where their spot casu orders will obtain i be lowest prices. It in much muresatis factory for merchants to buy in a home market when they usu save money hv do ing so. and that is what Sullivan Hard ware Co. propose to do for their trade. Anything in the Hardware line eau bu bought from thorn as low, often much lower, than tho samo class of goods aro offered hy otbf>r wholesale houses. If you have not investigated this fact they stand ready to prove it if you will give thain your orders. Contractors and Bridge lluildors nre perhaps not aware cf tho fact that Sulli van Hardware Co. owna latest improved Cutting and Threading Machine, opera ted by electricity, aud can cut and thread moro pipe and bolts In a day and do the work better than could be done by hand in ten days. They are prepared to make estimates and ?11 orders promptly. OFFICE it. H. HARDY, Sec. of State, AUSTIN, TKX , Nev. 21. 1800. I have found Dr. Motion's TEETH INA a spleudid remedy and aid for my teeth ing children. When my oldest boy was a teething child, every succeeding day warned us that we would inevitably lose him. I happened upon TF.STHINA, and began at onoe administering it to him, and his improvement was marked in 24 hours, and from that day on he recuper ated. I have constantly kept it and used it since with my children, aud have taken great pleasure in sounding its praises to all mothers of young children. I fonnd it Invaluable even after the teething period was passed. MRS. D. H. HARDY. Health will give what wealth cannot buy-happiness.
