The A. BIninger, of Thames street and Liberty,

not the " Original Jacobs " of the old grocery house of
BIninger.

The house of A. M. BIninger & Co., No. 19 Broad
street, the ancients, have adopted the great modern in¬
vention of advertising, and use this fearful lever to make
sales, doing a monster business in thousands of papers.

The house of A. BIninger, in Liberty street, have
never done anything in the wslj of advertising beyond
the old style of $40 per annum for an advertisement in
the Courier and Enquirer, and the antediluvian sheets
for which the subscription of $10 for the daily paper is
thrown in.

My task is not to judge. I have given a faithful
record of a grocery house as " Old as the Hills." We
have gone back In this instance 160 3-ears to 1700,
when the little boy Binlnger, after his father and mother
had been tossed into the deep blue sea, landed in Savan¬
nah, and became the founder of that name on this
continent.
