ENERGY TRIUMPH ANT-THE EXTENSIVE FUREI-
TURE ESTABLISHMENTS OF MEssRs GOULD s. Co. AT
NINTH AND MARKET AND ON SECOND STREETs.-
Among the Philadelphia merchants who can
lay claim to the possession in the highest degree
of excellent business talents, rare energy,
and indomitable perseverance, we can call to
mind none more prominent than the firm of
Messrs. Gould & Co., furniture dealers, at the
northeast corner of Ninth aud Market. These
gentlemen have recently made very extensive
improvements at the old stand, and now there
rises up from Ninth and Market handsome
white fVe-storied structure, which is an orna-
ment to that fourishing locality. This large
establishment Messrs. Gould g. Co. have COM
pletely filled with all varieties of furniture, and
of the very best quality. A purchaser, how
ever capricious, cannot fail to be thoroughly
accommodated if he calls upon Messrs. Gould q
Co., % varied is their stock of furniture.
Messrs. Gould q Co. have succeeded in build
ing up an enormous trade, aud it has been
found necessary to keep two estab ishments in
operation. We refer to the othe large ware
rooms of the firm at Nos 37and 80 North Second
street. This large store, also white in color
(white seems to be the favorable color with
Messrs. Gould & Co.; no doubt au emblem of
their character), is fully equipped for the large
business which each year is growing to such an
extent that the firm will be compelled to start
another establishment.
Messrs. Gould 81 Co. entered the furniture
business thoroughly in earnest, and the success
with which they have been favored has been
due to their rare good qualities, politeness, at
tention, energy, and enterprise, without which
no man can expect 10 succeed
