THE BANK OF wORTn1NGToN.
E'ihu Smith, Proprietor, A. Nj. Smith
Cashier, forms Il leading feature in tin
business and monetary Interests o.
Worthington and Mobiles county
There is perhaps no feature in the bust
ness interests Of the county. Of more
actual necessity to the wants and con
ven:ences of the commercial pablo thai,
Banking institutions. This ms tuition
which, is the only banking establish
ment in the county, was established in
1873, and although II private enterprise
has ever enjoyed the utmost confidence
Of the public Of this sectiua. The func.
tions Of the establishment are general
banking, and the facilities for the trans,
action of all business pertaining to the
banking system are hardly inferior to
the best and largest concerns in the
State, and as evidence of their stand
ing we will state the fact, the imstitu
ton is endorsed, and recognized by sucl,
men and establishments, us Hudson
Wilson, Esq. President Citizens Ma.
tional Bank OF Fair;bault; Horace
Thompson, President First National
Bank of St. Paul, and the Merchant $
Nat. Bank of.Chicago, Ill. Ii addition
to Il general banking and exchange bu-
siness, they also do considerable in the
of Real Estate loans. and
have excellent facilities III this Girec-
ton. Briefly, all business pertaining
to the best banking houses of the coun-
try is embodied in the functions of this
concern, and for which, under the pres
cnt management, we bespeak i long and
future.
N. A. BARLOW,
Dealer III dry goods, groceries, no.
tons, and fancy goods, is next on the
list, and his establishment is worthy Of
J. foremost place in this review. This
h ,use, inaugurated. about three years
i 20, 1T once assumed and has ever
II place in business matters
not far from the head, and stands to
L " one Of the most popular and relia<
BILE trading places III Worthington.
We observe here Il stock of goods which
in character ut least will compare ia
with the similar concerns Of our
cities. The showing ofno-
lions and fancy goods is the best in the
place and the facilities for supplying
the public want are I'll that could be
desired. Mr.. b. is the occupant OF u
store ~ X 20, and the stock carried is
one Of the largest in the county, and he
seems to have discovered the secret-so
popular with the public-of selling
good goods at extremely low prices, a
fact which, has enabled him to mohopo-
lie a large share If the trade of Mobiles
county.
NEXT on TIE LIST
is the large, well-stccked house of b.
". Lyon. Mr.. l.. first commenced
business i'll Worthington in 1873, and
WAS one of our earliest business men,
but for SEVERAL years past has been Civ
ing his attention to agricultural pur-
suits, and WAS ut one time the owner Of
one Of the finest farms in Mobiles
county. About Il month ago he again
entered the field of mel camille opera
lions, commencing us the successor of
Peter Thompson, and to-day we find
him at the head of one of the largest.
best appointed, best stocked general
stor S III this section Of the state. The
principal features of his stock are dry
goods. groceries, crockery, glassware.
hats, caps, boots and shoes. Mr.. l.. is
the occupant of Il store 5. feet long by
,. wide, and is carrying one of the
largest and most complete stocks III
the county. Mr.. L. is a thorough, bust
ness man, and believes that whatever
is worth dong at all is worth doing
well, and does business upon that
principle.
II. DAVIS
Another of Worthineton's pioneer
business men, is deserving Il foremost
in dry goods, groceries, boots shoes ETC.,
busis ess here in 1871, and
sold the first goods brought to the town,
However Mr.. Davis has kept pace will,
the times, and still maintains II place
not far from the lead in business mat
tiers. In addition to his mercantile
business, he deals extensively in farm
machinery, grain and produce. In fact
the two latter features are the more
important elements in his business.
Mr.. Davis. has always sought to serve
the interests OF patrons, as wei! asst
advance his own, and his standing in
the business community is No. l. A.
mOng the many meritorious establish
ments Of Wortl,ington none are more
reliable, or more worthy of success.
