An Extensive Firm.

The last number Of the New England Gro
Ger contains the following account of the ex-
pensive and enterprising firm of Spur, WASH
burn & Holmes of Boston:
The house Of Spur, Washburn & Holmes
was established on Jan. lst, 1878, with How
ard w. Spur, formerly of the house of Wad-
ley, Spur & Co., at its head. Messrs. WASH
burn & Holmes were employees of Wadley,
Spur & Co., and joined Mr. Spur in found
ing the new house. In Jan. 1873, Mr.. Charles
H. Fitch became a member of the house, and
at the same time Mr.. Jonas Fitch, father of
Mr.. Chas. H., was admitted as special part
ner Since its organization, the firm has ex-
pericnced a constantly increasing business.
On commencing operations, the stores No. IS
& II Broad and so Batterymarch street were
taken. Three years later an enlargement of
accommodations became necessary, and the
stores No. ~. ~, 46. and ~ Batterymarch
street were added. An evidence of the remark
able growth of their business is found In the
fact, that when the began they employed only
four statesmen, whereas they now employ
eighteen. In 1878, the firm bought out the
house of +. II. Raymond 4 Co., acquiring the
stock, goodwill and selling help of that
house They also took into their employ. two
of the former partners of the firm Of s. & W.
Merriam & Co., who went out Of business at
that time. On Jan. LIST, 1879. they purchased
portion of the stock Of Pierce. Dana & Co.,
who were retiring from business. and took
into their employ, one Of the partners, and
three of the salemen of that house. The firm
have established wholesale grocery house
at Worcester, under the firm name of f. r.
Smith Co., and arc probably the only whole
sale house in Boston, in their line of business,
who have wholesale branch establishment
outside of the city. Recognizing their enter
prise. the Dausman Tobacco Co., of ST. Louis,
have disappointed Messrs. Spur, Washburn
& Holmes their sole agents, for the New Eng
land states, The house keeps at all times a
full stock of groceries, and deal extensively
in molasses and teas.

fury, Mr.. Spaulding has been identified with
the business and other interests of our sister
city. He was publisher of the American Ad-

and earlier than the former year he was es-
tablished in the bookselling business in the
stand on Water street which is still occupied
by his son Charles l.. Spaulding. He con-
tinued in active business until within a few
years. His heart was in every good work for
the relief ofthe poor and suffering, and during
an unusually long and active business career
his name was the synonym of integrity and
honor. In all of his dealings with his fellow
men he wore ''the white flower Of blame
less life," and now passes on to that higher
life in which he had living and abiding
faith.
