Rnth,chlId cary gave evidence of
that ambition for eminencs which,
turned in its present channel, has ac-
complished So much. Being an old
California forty miner, he has seen
something Of the vicissitudes Of life.
HIS business in this town was estab.
lishpd about the year 1858, since
which time it has sustained several
serious reverses, but has grown to
magnificent proportions as the show
ing herein will demonstrate.
On the lst day Of September of
the present year, the firm was
changed by the admission Of
MESsRS. HENRY LANDEs AND ABE REISs
as members thereof. These gen
tlemen, than whom no moro pleas
ant, accommodating and thoroughly
qualified business men can be found
on the Sound, form a most valuable
acquisition to the influence and ef.
fcisncy of the corporation. Their
descriptions and pedigrees would be
creditable in connection herewith,
had we ample space, but attention is
directed more especially to their
business.
THE BUILDINGS,
occupied in the var ious departments
of the trade carried on by this firm,
cover a piece of ground 55x2l0
feet, one end of this fronting on Wa
ter Street, and the buildings extend
ing from thence over The bay, being
largely supported by wharf. The
main room, in which all kinds of
goods are displayed, is 24xS4 feet, Il
feet between floors, and is closely
packed with goods from floor to cell
ing along both sides. Six counters
are used, and upon two Of these, as
well as stands between, are stacks
Of clothing to meet the wants of the
public. Immediately adjoining this
room, and separated from it by a
hallway, is a room 16x45 feet, in
which are kept liquors and other
stores for Wholesale traffic; third
room adjoins this also, 9x45 feet, in
which are kept case goods of differ.
ent kinds. From this room, on the
south side, few steps take one to a
9x60 feet, in which are
packed all kinds of ship stores, in.
beef, pork, oil, tar, rope, etc.
Then sn extension of this building
20 feet further is used in storing salt
and more case goods. The front
warehouse on the wharf is a substan.
t:al building, erected few months
ago, is ! stories high and is 24145
feet. 1t is filled with all sorts Of
ship stores, cordage, groceries, ETC.,
the upper part being used for light
goods. A neat boat-house, 1920
feet, affords a shelter for fine two
hundred dollar row.boat, showing
the disregard Of the firm for expenses.
The next building is known as the
" Potato warehouse" is 20x40 feet,
With double walls all round, having
a space Of six inches thick filled with
savdust, The name indicates its
use. The open space on the wharf
Affords room for moving supplies,
goods, etc. Two fve-hundred gal
Ion oil tanks are at one passage way.
Enough has been embodied in the
foregoing to give some idea Of the
extent Iud Importance OF the busi-
ness carried on by this house. The
