"Wanted to purchase, thirty or forty young negroes, by
Curle & Goddin, 79, Olive-street."
The following is taken from the "St. Louis Republican:"
"Negroes Wanted and Boarded.—The highest cash price paid for young likely negroes, at 104, Locust-street, between Third and Fourth, adjoining Gerard's stables.
"N.B. Our house will be well secured, and afford the advantages of a jail surrounded by walls, and a basement cell in it.
White & Tooly."
The following two are found in the "Evening Mercury" of Jan. 14, 1848, published in New Orleans:—
"Slaves Wanted.—Wanted to purchase, slaves of every description, at the New Orleans depot, No. 156, Common-street, for which liberal prices will be paid. Slaves will also be sold on commission, and purchasers are invited to call and see a well-selected lot of slaves offered at low prices.
Elihu Creswell."
"Slaves Wanted.—E. Creswell, No. 163, Gravier-street, will pay the most liberal price for slaves of all descriptions; and those who have slaves for sale will do well to give him a call before selling to others. He will also exchange slaves, sell slaves on commission; and those who wish to purchase will do well to give him a call before buying elsewhere, as he keeps on hand a good selection of slaves, sold under full guarantee, and good reference for titles given."
