The steps to be taken were as follows: First, It was necessary to so to a cloth store, or a general dry goods store, where cloth was kept for sale, and select from whatever might be on hand suon as might suit blru. Many, and many a time did a man have to take his wife, his wife's sister, his aunt, his mother-in-law, and other relations, either singly or collectively, to help him pass Judgment on tbe color, the durability, or the general style of the fabrics offered for sale, Oiiendid the candidate lor a new coat have to visit twenty-seveu or more establishments to gel such cloth as would suit him; and often did he come home at eventide, bringing to the sharer of his Joys and his sor rows a pocket full pI three-cornered scraps kindly furnished him by the people who wanted to sell him the clotb. Sometimes the names and prices attached to these pattern sciBpa would get loose, or become mixed, and men inn whole work of seeking samples and ascertaining price would have to be gone over again. ineworkor select ion of a suitable material bavlDg been laboriously accomplished, the nextstepwss to take tbegoods to the tailor's to do uiHue mio a coat, unt nere waa new trouble, and more of it. Who should make the coat 7 Omjr abont one tailor in fifty knew how to rut and lit a coat so as to make the wearer look otherwise than like a scarecrow. It sel dom happened that a man would go a second time to the snme tailor, and tbe botheration was whom to go to nexi time. Ail of the man's rela'lons and acquaintances had to be asked. When at last a competent artist in cloth was found, tbe victim ol the.coat had to iro and be measured for tbe garment. The tahor would tske down the figures Lf the measure, and pieinlse to have the coat finished bv a certain day, which generally turned out to be a very uncertain oiio. You were never cer tain when yon were going to get your ooat, nor was there any certainty about it at all, bu' there was a large probability tbat it wouldn't fit. Tbe tailor told you to call next Wednesday week, after he bad got it cut out and basted tc got her, that he might try it on yon. When you oalled, he would tell yon toootue next Sa turday, when at last lie Mulshed it, he seemed to have made It alter the measure either of your corpulent grandfather, or else after that of your lean next-door neighbor, who Is as'thln as a pair of tongs. Tailors were very clever. though, abont these little accidents, and never refused to make another coat If yon would take them some more cloth. It is funny to think how long people endnred of getting their clothes. A demand arose for a dllierent way of furnishing masouline gar ments. Tbe Idea dawned on the minds of some lolks tbat they might as well buy tbelr coats ready-made, Just as they bought their hats. Borne cheap establishments gradually arose for the manufacture and sale of a coarse and inferior style of clothes. But gentlemen who wanted good raiment found no relief from them. Kockblll & Wilson were amontr the first to relieve suffering mankind from their difficul ties In tbls respeot. At the very commencement of their business, in 1841, they aimed at far nlshlng their patrons with a superior style of raiment, at the most moderate prices. Gentle men found that it whs belter to ajo to Rockhlll & Wilson's and buy an elegaut suit of clothes ready-made, than to go through the experience webave narrated only to find it tedious, un satisfactory, and costly. KocKnin x wiison suon ions vne ieaa in supplying tbe wants of the best men in theolty and its vicinity, and by close attention to busi ness, and a constant carrying out 01 tneir de termination to give each customer the worth' of his money, soon reached the position they have ever since neia bb tne iirst oiotniers ol Philadelphia. Their elegant pile of brown stone in Chesnut street, above Sixth, has stood since 1856, a monument of tbelr ability and success in giving the people exactly what tbey want. Elegance of style, faultlessness of fit. and a perfect adaptation of tbe kind of goods ana character 01 maienui iu hid person 01 xne wearer, so as to ensure a tout ensemble of the utmost gentility and beauty, are among the cbaracteristicsofthegarmentawhiohhavemade Rockhlll 4i Wilson so justly popular. We need only add that a visit to the elegant salesrooms of this firm will repay all gentle men who desire to enjoy a view 01 some of the most elegant things in clothing that have ever been offered to the puuiio. a free and full examination Is invited, and gentlemen are desired to make full comparison of tbe goods at the Great Brown Hall with any thing in town or eisownere.

If it were only a new nothing House, its opening would be nothing unusual or unusually Interesting, and would never have attracted the attention whloh has been drawn from all classes of our citizens to this new enterprise. But, besides being new. It is an immense enterprise, and promises to ecllpceall former atteuiols to establish In Phi. laUelpblaa first-olats House, where the business oi reauy-inaae ciotningor tne finest kind and fashionable tailoilrg ore combined.
