Frederick City – Region’s Commerce Center

The extension of the Rail Road to Frederick, has given quite a new impulse to business in that ancient and respectable town, which is now a city; and it is probable that additional spirit will be imparted as time elapses. The connection of the Wheeling Transportation Company with the Rail Road at Frederick, makes the latter place the stopping point for the wagon trade of the West. Considerable intercourse is now also had with our own section;and we find most of our merchants receiving their goods through some of the forwarding agents in Frederick. These agents, we learn, are very attentive; and as many of them discover it their interest to make themselves known to the public through our columns, we deem it fair and liberal to hear witness to their promptitude and courtesy. We hope they may be still better known to our community.
