Spotorno, Louis is the bustling proprietor of the Old Market Store, and is now having a splendid trade, but he attends to the business himself and sees that all his customers are properly waited on. He keeps his stock up to a high standard, and has a very large city trade.

 

  Mr. Spotorno is a typical Southerner, hospitable and extends a hearty welcome to all who come from the ice-bound regions of the North, and he has lived in Bay St. Louis five years. Three years ago he commenced his present business, and though he undoubtedly thought he would do very well, else he would not have established himself here, his success has been far greater than he dared hope for, and if square dealing counts for aught as it has done in the past, he is assured of a continuance of the good business he now enjoys. His display and salesroom is 40x50, and it is filled with a good stock of general merchandise in all that term means, and in looking through the store we consider it our duty to portray to our readers the stock as we see it displayed, and thus show why he is warranted such a good trade. Here we find dress goods in the latest weaves and fabrics, and the ladies congregate here and we hear them recounting the caprices of Dame Fashion and wondering how much goods is required for a "crinoline" dress. There is also a large stock of dry goods, and as a notion to name the notions would be an absurd idea. I've a notion not to try, but ask you to come into the grocery department where you find a stock of goods that will feed hundreds, and all nice and fresh. Furniture is also found in this stock, and it is varied enough in design and woods to give his patrons a good lot to select from, and that no doubt to a great degree accounts for his large trade. All through the store we find such a stock as we could cheerfully commend to the people of the city. He runs in connection with his store a free delivery wagon, and he is known as one of our most accommodating merchants, and makes his business a success by his liberal and just business methods.
