RENOVED TO ST. PAUL.

Ithas BEN gsnerahy understood for some
time that the Hon. II. c. Burbank, of this
city, VA making arrangements to remove
To- st. Paul and enter into business there.
On the 9th u January = copartnership was
formed between T. B. and W. E. Campbell,
ofthe Wholesale clothing house of T. B.
Campbell 4 Bro, H.. G. Burbank and G.
W. Carpenter, under the firm name Of
Campbell, Burbank 4 c., for the purpose
Of Carrying on = Wholesale clothing and
gents furnishing goods business. The
house Of the Nessrs. Campbell was one of
the oldest and most prosperous in 81. Paul,
and the increase of capital brought about by
this change will place itin the frontrank Of
| wholesale houses in the West. Mr.. Bur
bank left for St. Paul to-day. His depart
ure il matter of very general regret.
We clip the following personal mention
from an extended article on the new firm
in the St. Paul Press:
"Henry G. Burbank, the first Of the i'm
portant sccessions to the business ability
and financial standing Of the house, il well
known a. one of the most enterprising mer-
chants in Northern Minnesota, and re-
Gently A. member of the State Senate from
Stearns county. Mr.. Burbank came to the
State in tho summer of 1853, and in 4 few
months after his arrival became associated
with his brother in the forwarding and
commission business, At the corner of the
| levee and Jackson streets, in the building
| now occupied ~ passenger depot by the
Milwaukee & St. Paul and st. Paul & Sioux
City Companies. After an experience of
several years in this capacity, in which he
! demonstrated his sagacity and high per-
sonal integrity, Mr.. Burbank withdrew from
the house in the winter Of 1860 and removed
/ to St. Cloud, where he has since resided,
and by sheer force of will and traits of char
acter which endeared him to large circle
of friends, gained an enviable reputation al
| citizen and business man. Aside from his
| legitimate mercantile enterprises, he has
engaged largely in the transportation bust
| ness, and while his return to St. Paul can
be regarded rs favorable stroke of for
| tune, the community..in which he has been
20 many honorable years, views his depart
ure with exceeding regret. Mr.. Burbank
will be generally regarded as great acqui-
sition to the ranks Of sagacious, energetic
and thoroughly honorable business men in
the city of st. Paul."
Says the st. Paul Pioneer:
"Mr. Burbank was among the first lead
ing merchants of St. Paul, and the name of
the firm of J. G. & II. G. Burbank was Z
household word throughout the Northwest
in the early days of Minnesota. A few
years ago he removed to St. Cloud, and has
! carried on IN extensive business there,
| reaching in every direction. Personally he
| is one Of the most popular men in the
State, and he is known far and near. It il
4 matter Of congratulation that he is about
to return to St. Paul and once more takehis
place among the active business men of
our city,"
