R, White & Co. 15* 174 PITTSBURGH A 8 IT 13. These 25 houses employ 211 hands, and transact business yearly to amount of $2,334,239.50. In addition to these wholesale houses, there are some 20 houses of an exclusive retail character, whose sales amount to $500,000 more. HARDWARE. There are a number of hardware firms here who always keep excellent and extensive stocks. They are prepared to meet customers at any time, upon as accommodating terms as any of the eastern houses ; and they make it a s...tanding offer to all who visit this market to duplicate eastern bills, without regard to freights. The wholesale hardware firms of Pittsburgh stand upon the same footing in the pro- curing of their stocks as the best eastern houses. In all cases the arti- cles come from the same American manufactories, and are imported in the same way from Europe, and at the same cost. There is no reason why the merchant purchasing from the eastern jobber should not do so from the Pittsburgh jobber ; and there is the advantage of freights, traveling expenses, time, &c, as a reason why he should purchase at Pittsburgh.
