An INTERESTING REyIEw.-In 1860, I'm
an old blue house on the corner Of Lafay-
cite and Market streets, Carter Sc Hurt cs-
tablIshed themselves in business with
small stock OF Furniture. One big wagon
could have carried on their entire stock az
a load. By strict attention TO business and
judicious management 1870 found them
well on the road that leads TO success. In
1874 they moved into a new building OF
Anderson & Taylor, and greatly increased
their stock. In the Fall OF 1873 they moved
into their present quarters on Market st.,
one Of the largest buildings in the city and
opened out one Of the most splendid stocks
Of Furniture ever brought 10 Jackson
Their rooms front on both Market and La
fayette streets, with main entrance on
Market Their sale and sample room is
1O6x Il feet, while the ware rooms are large
and well arranged. This remarkable pros
perity and advancement in business has
been achieved by judiciOus management
and honorable dealings. They made every
dollar Of their capital as they went, and
hence their success stands on a solid f0un-
dalton. Their progress and prosperity is
deserved, because it has been achieved by
a strict and intelligent attention to their /
own business. As an evidence Of the prog |
ress made by this firm we will mention the /
fact that they now frequently sell more |
goods in day than their entire stock /
amounted to two years ago. Their whole /
sale trade along the railway lines passing |
through the city, and out in the interior, /
IS growing rapidly, and bids fair to soon /
become OF the first importance. Everything !
about their establishment is complete and /
on large scale. Their Undertaking de- /
partment is especially so. They keep TWO !
Hearses-one Of them extra price-employ /
q first class Undertaken, have Masonic, |
Odd Fellows and Catholic emblems, and 1
Plumes Of unsurpassed beauty. In this /
department they are prepared to receive /
and ill orders at any hour, day or night |
Orders by telegraph promptly filled. In 1
hort, the establishment Of Carter & Hurt /
: credit to the city, and their success in
business is worthy Of recognition. The
miles OF fortune they have honorably and
fairly won. They deserve the prosperity
which they now enjoy aud we sincerely
wish them still higher achievements Of
llecess in the future
