Does anyone have an earlier quote:



1852 Aug. 11 "Express Companies," _Daily Commerical Register_ [Sandusky,
Ohio] (NewspaperArchive.com), p 2  He executes commissions, in distant
cities, of every grade and character, from the purchase of a cargo of
merchandise, grain, or [unclear text], to the selection of a wedding dress,
or the execution of a lady's shopping list of laces and ribbons.
