' )"■ i << i: t-';3t -';3 A little more than a year ago a man came to London from America to introduce an article hitherto unknown to this country. .He commenced operations by renting a juft-basement? on lmdgate Hill, from •whence he dispatched his goods on trial to all parts of the country. Success attended his efforts — so much i so that but a short time had elapsed before increased business necessitated,, the, addition of another , basement; and, this prosperity continuing,' he ultimately bdcamV the occupant of 'three? basements and offices, exceeding in space, by six times, that first rented by him. In these extensive premises the business | still further expanded, hundred's of parcels, almost, being dispatched daily from thence. In little less than ' ( one year it had grown to such magnitude' that a still further increase .of, premises Jbecame Absolutely neoes- , sary ; and this man, once the tenant of a small sub-basement, now leases alarge and entire building, adapted, <at great expense, to the requirements of his business.
