Revolutionary Relics.

The city of Trenton presents very few old buildings that are relics of the Revolution, still a few exists. While walking down Greene street the other day out attention was called to an old building, just below Taylor Opera House, that suggested to us from its appearance, that it might be an ancient relic of those historic days when the illustrious Washington rode through our city, nearly a century ago now, on this way to New York city to assume the responsible post of the first president of the United States. On investigation we found that this old building was occupied by three different parties as business places.
The central store, we found on entering, to be one of the best stocked merchant tailoring establishments in the city. Trenton has many fine stores, some of which are occupied by merchant tailors, who display a fine line of goods. On being shown through the old store by the genial proprietor, Mr. Louis Heesen, we can truly say, without fear of contradiction, that no merchant tailoring establishment in this city, at present exists, or has ever existed, that can display a finer or more varied stock of piece goods than as stored away on the shelves, tables and in every nook and corner of Mr. Heesen’s old store. To say that he can fit you out with any and every thing you want in the merchant tailoring line, is simply stating the solid truth. The rich and the poor, the learned and the unlearned, the millionaire, the merchant, the banker, the mechanic, in fact everybody can have a suit made to order by Mr. Heesen, from $15 to $50 that will just suit their taste to wear to the coming Centennial Celebration in New York. All are invited to all on Mr. Louis Heesen, No. 28 S. Greene street, and make a personal investigation of his extensive stock. He certainly cannot possibly fail to show something in his line that will be appreciated. Leave your order with him and give him a trial, and you will call again.—Adv.
