OUR BUSINESS MEN.

Resuming our sketches of the trades
men of Staunton, next door, east of Hun
ter & Co., we have the drug store of
VIM. TYREE,
who has ca: ried on his business for the
last three wears at this stand. Mr.. Tyree
entered the drug business in '65, as clerk
for q. T. Robinson, Richmond. After two
years with him he went to the well and ia
vorably known establishment of Purcell.
Laid & Co., and from that house came to
Staunton, in May, 1868, where he found
employment with Messrs. Young Dc Kin
ney, afterwards Young & Reese, and
shortly afterwards was admitted to the
firm of Reese & Co., from which concern
he withdrew in II, to 60 to Columbia, S.
c.. where he remained eighteen months.
During Mr.. It's stay in the palmetto
state he acquired such proficiency In his
business as to earn from the University of
South Carolina, the druggists certificate.
which is awarded by that institution to
such as pass the regular examinations. Re-
turning to Staunton, in '73, he located at
Ills pIGSSuU 0uolu GU 1JlCC D VI pO
found a full stock of drugs, notions, sc.
He deals largely in extracts of his wi
manufacture, for which there is a con-
siderable demand by the country trade,
and also by dealers at Richmond and other
places. Smokers will find also at Tyree's
a small but choice selection Of cigars,
among which are some genuine imported
Habannas, that are very fine.
He is assisted in his business by his
brother, j. s. Tyree, lately with MI. ]. S.
Lipscomb, who, by his close attention to-
business and his general good department,
has already earned a reputation iii Staun>
ton.
Near to Tyree's, on Main street, is the
large dry goods and millinery establish
ment OF
CHA A. GLADKE.
The subject of this sketch, though d
Pole by birth, is a Staunton made man,
having come to this place eleven years ag
as a small trader, and is now conducting
successfully one Of The principal houses in
The city. He first opened his wares in the
very building in which this paper is pub-
iished.
Being q man Of pleasant address, he
soon drew ii good trade to his house, sold
out his small stock, and returned north for
d fresh and larger supply. His business
and means increasing, Ee purchased the
property where we now find him and open
ed an attractive stock of goods there
which he continued to handle to advan~
tage until 1870, when he married a Scotch
lady from Washington city, who brought
to his establishment new energy, and skill
in a different branch so Gladke added
millinery and ladies' fancy goods, shoes,
&C., to the attractions Of his store.
MI. CPS energy, Mrs. G.'s good taste,
and d judicious and liberal use of printers
ink have together built up a brisk trade at
this establishment which continues to grow
Notwithstanding the stress of the times.
He has managed to produce the impression
upon the people That Gladke's is the Place
to get a good bargain. and it is not
usual for new Omers OF people from the
country to inquire for ''Cheap Charley's,"
and there they find, owing to. the mixed
business carried on, pretty much every
thing that is needed for man, woman or
child, all kept neatly and distinct without
confusion or disorder.
The proprietors are ably seconded in their
endeavors to please their customers, by
two polite and active salesmen-Mr. Philip
Koerber, a son of Prof. koerber, who has
been in the house four years and Mr..
Arthur Powell, a son of Prof. Powell Of
Richmond, who has been here but a few
months.
In this neighbolhood we will in the boot
shoe and hat line present to our readers
the establishment of
SAMUEL sHULTZ,
who is from Bromberg, in Poland, orr gi-
nally, but came from Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
to this place. He has been in America
twenty-five years, was engaged in his pres
ent business for over twenty years in
Poughkeepsie, so he brought with him in
1875 When he came to Staunton much ex-
perience and information. The stock of
Mr.. S., while not as large as that Of some
Of onr merchants, is q we'll selected one.
His shop made goods and those put up to
order are Of superior quality, and his
prices extremely reasonable. He has been
steadily working into the good will of the
community as a fair dealer and a safe bus,
mess man.
Near here and between Tyree and Glad
Ike is
A. A.
jeweller, matchmaker sc. Mr.. Cone is a
Vermonter and leaving the Green Noun
tains IN his youth went to Worcester, Mas
sachusetts, where he served his apprentice
ship; then after spending two years more
OF preparation in Boston, he went to Bal
timore in '57 and entered the employ of
Ham & Gushing a well known wholesale
firm of that city, where he remained till
1850, when he removed to Winchester,
when after a residence of one yearhe came
to this place.
Commencing business with MI. A. Long
he soon left for Harper's Ferry with the
Staunton Artillery. After seeing eighteen
months of service, MI. Cone returned to
Staunton and worked with Mr.. John
Meredith until the close Of the war.
In '6S he and MI. James Hanger bought
out Mr.. G.. G.. Yeakle and carried on bust /
ness at the store where MI. r NJ. Ayres
now keeps, till the fall Of that year, when
the concern purchased the business of B.
Mayne and removed to the present stand
of A. A. Cone, the co-partnership of Cone
& Hanger being dissolved in 1871.
MI. Cone keeps a large stock of jewelry,
watches and frst-class plated goods, pins,
