T. B. PETERSON'S WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Cheap Book, Magazine, Newspaper, Publishing and Bookselling Establishment, is at No. 102 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.

[figure description] Advertisement.[end figure description]

T. B. PETERSON has the satisfaction to announce to the public, that he has removed
to the new and spacious BROWN STONE BUILDING, NO. 102 CHESTNUT STREET,
just completed by the city authorities on the Girard Estate, known as the most central
and best situation in the city of Philadelphia. As it is the Model Book Store of the
Country, we will describe it: It is the largest, most spacious, and best arranged Retail
and Wholesale Cheap Book and Publishing Establishment in the United States. It is
built, by the Girard Estate, of Connecticut sand-stone, in a richly ornamental style.
The whole front of the lower story, except that taken up by the doorway, is occupied by
two large plate glass windows, a single plate to each window, costing together over three
thousand dollars. On entering and looking up, you find above you a ceiling sixteen
feet high; while, on gazing before, you perceive a vista of One Hundred and Fifty-Seven
feet. The retail counters extend back for eighty feet, and, being double, afford counterroom
of One Hundred and sixty feet in length. There is also over Three Thousand feet
of shelving in the retail part of the store alone.
This part is devoted to the retail busi-
ness, and as it is the most spacious in the country, furnishes also the best and largest
assortment of all kinds of books to be found in the country. It is fitted up in the most
superb style; the shelvings are all painted in Florence white, with gilded cornices for
the book shelves.

Behind the retail part of the store, at about ninety feet from the entrance, is the
counting-room, twenty feet square, railed neatly off, and surmounted by a most beautiful
dome of stained glass. In the rear of this is the wholesale and packing department,
extending a further distance of about sixty feet, with desks and packing counters for the
establishment, etc., etc. All goods are received and shipped from the back of the store,
having a fine avenue on the side of Girard Bank for the purpose, leading out to Third
Street, so as not to interfere with and block up the front of the store on Chestnut Street.
The cellar, of the entire depth of the store, is filled with printed copies of Mr. Peterson's
own publications, printed from his own stereotype plates, of which he generally keeps
on hand an edition of a thousand each, making a stock, of his own publications alone,
of over three hundred thousand volumes, constantly on hand.

T. B. PETERSON is warranted in saying, that he is able to offer such inducements
to the Trade, and all others, to favor him with their orders, as cannot be excelled by any
book establishment in the country. In proof of this, T. B. PETERSON begs leave to
refer to his great facilities of getting stock of all kinds, his dealing direct with all the
Publishing Houses in the country, and also to his own long list of Publications, consisting
of the best and most popular productions of the most talented authors of the United
States and Great Britain, and to his very extensive stock, embracing every work, new or
old, published in the United States.

T. B. PETERSON will be most happy to supply all orders for any books at all, no
matter by whom published, in advance of all others, and at publishers' lowest cash
prices. He respectfully invites Country Merchants, Booksellers, Pedlars, Canvassers,
Agents, the Trade, Strangers in the city, and the public generally, to call and examine
his extensive collection of cheap and standard publications of all kinds, comprising a
most magnificent collection of CHEAP BOOKS, MAGAZINES, NOVELS, STANDARD
and POPULAR WORKS of all kinds, BIBLES, PRAYER BOOKS, ANNUALS, GIFT
BOOKS, ILLUSTRATED WORKS, ALBUMS and JUVENILE WORKS of all kinds,
GAMES of all kinds, to suit all ages, tastes, etc., which he is selling to his customers
and the public at much lower prices than they can be purchased elsewhere. Being located
at No. 102 CHESTNUT Street, the great thoroughfare of the city, and BUYING
his stock outright in large quantities, and not selling on commission, he can and will
sell them on such terms as will defy all competition. Call and examine our stock, you
will find it to be the best, largest and cheapest in the city; and you will also be sure to
find all the best, latest, popular, and cheapest works published in this country or elsewhere,
for sale at the lowest prices.

&hand; Call in person and examine our stock, or send your orders by mail direct, to the
CHEAP BOOKSELLING and PUBLISHING ESTABLISHMENT of
