"BAKERY FOR SALE BY AUCTION BY S. GUINAULT. On Saturday the 3d inst... The stock in trade and establishment of the BAKE-HOUSE No. 73 Bourbon Street between Conti and Bienville streets. The concern is one of the oldest in New Orleans, in a central location, with a very good run of custom. About 12 barrels of flour are now kneaded up daily in this bakery, and a little exertion would increase the quantity to 20 barrels. A machine in making biscuits is attached.
There are nine horses in good condition, and seven carts hung on springs, included in the establishment; besides a Dray and a Cart for hauling wood etc. Moreover, all the utensils, usually found in bake houses.
The house is on lease, which may also be transferred to the purchaser until the time expires, that is to say, on the 1st of March next.
Also the following slaves [12 are named and listed]."

"REPORTS FROM the old Teepee neighborhood opposite Lafayette Square are that Johnny Gentilich, proprietor of the now defunct Marble Hall restaurant, was busy Monday dismantling his bar and other equipment. Hugo Dahlstrom, telling of the fine marble slabs fronting the bar, opined slyly that "it'll be a bonanza for whoever gets the marble haul."
