Description
300 Negroes Wanted - - At No. 3, South Sixth Street, one square south of the County jail, for which I will pay from $5 to $10 more than any other buyer in St. Louis. Having a high and healthy location, with ample room, I can board, buy and sell on commission as low as any other dealer in the State of Missouri.
Every precaution will be taken to keep secure those entrusted to me for sale, and pains taken to select good homes for those sold in this State, if required.
Persons wishing to buy or sell will do well to call upon me before closing elsewhere, as I pledge myself to give satisfaction to all. Corbin Thompson. w11tf
