SOUTHERN PLANTER,— ADVERTISING SHEET. 



NOTICE- 



Our lar^e cash capital enables us to make our pur- 

 chases exclusively witli money, and such are the ad- 

 vantacjes from its use this season in the Northern mar- 

 kets, that we have determined to adopt the cash sys- 

 tem. This will be nnitually advantageous to buyer 

 and seller, and will relieve us of much labor and ex- 

 pense in books, and collections. We purpose from 

 September 8th, to confine ourselves entirely to a cash 

 business. The change will afford advantages to those 

 who are now and have been for forty years our friends 

 and customers, which never could have been ^iren 

 them under the present system. We shall in a few 

 days ofler the largest assortment of staple and fancy 

 Dry Goods we have ever had for exhibition, and nt ex- 

 tremely low prices. VALENTINE & SON, 



JNo. 99 ]3road Street, near Capitol Square.

 entine, Crenshaw & Co , as also to Valentine &l Son, 

 are requested to close their accounts with us at an ear- 

 ly day. V. & S.

Eclipsing any tiling yet attempted in the way of pic-

 of tint never before attained. We avoid that sombre 

 look so objectionable in Ambrotypes. As the sitting is 

 but a second it is invaluable for Children. The sub- 

 scriber has spared neither pains nor expense to intro- 

 duce this beautiful art in this city. He produces fault-

The suhscriber havin? been appointed sole Agent for 

 the sale, in and about Richmond, of the celebrated Pi- 

 anos of Chickering & Sons, has now for sale at his 

 store, on Main Street, opposite the Exchang^e Bank, a 

 large and varied assortment of these superl) instru- 

 ments, which as obliged to do by the terms of his agen- 

 cy he sells at the factory prices. 



His stock embraces as large and elegant an assort- 

 ment as can he found in any of the Northern cities, 

 affording the citizens of Richmond and Virginia, all the 

 advantages possessed by the people of the North in 

 the prices and qualities of Piano Fortes. Among his 

 assortment is the 



" CHICKERING'S I;EWIS XIV," 

 an instrument which for beauty, excellence of tone, 

 delicacy of touch, and elegance of finish, is universally 

 admired. It stands unrivalled save by the 



PARLOR GRAND PIANO, 

 which claims attention as the chef d'ffiuvre of the Mes- 

 srs. Chickering, and which is considered by the first ar- 

 tists superior to any instrument ever produced in this 

 or any other country. I'his Piano, whilst it possesses 

 all the excellencies of the $1500 Grand Piano, is free 

 from all its defects. The touch is so light that the del- 

 icate hand of a lady performer can produce the same 

 volume of tone as that of the most experienced mas- 

 ter. The style is unique, and the instrument may be 

 placed in any position in the room, with equal advan- 

 tage to sound and appearance. 



The Parlor Grand Piano has entirely superseded, in 

 all the larger cities, the more costly and ponderous 

 Grand Piano, it having been decided by the most com- 

 petent judges to combine the best qualities of the Grand 

 and Square Pi;»no. See Report of Judges to Board of 

 Directors of Kentucky Alechanics^ Institute, Louis- 

 ville.] 



That persons in Richmond and its vicinity, desiring 

 to pui chase their pianos, may be sure of obtaining a 

 genuine instrument, the Messrs. Chickering, (see their 

 card below), will hold themselves responsible only for 

 those bought of their authorized agent. Also for sale, 

 the excellent Pianos, of various styles and prices, of 

 BROWJN & ALLEN, Boston, makers of high reputa- 

 tion and experience.
