WHOLESALE CLOTHING.

Mr.. King, the head Of this house. is the
| oldest jobbcr Of clothing in Chicago, having
| been in the wholesale trade, with but two
changes, since 1854. They were first on
South Water street, were burnt out in 1871 at
Lake street and Michigan avenue, and were
the only wholesale clothing house that saved
any considerable portion of their goods.
-Four car-loads-$100,G00 worth-were on the
cars ut the Michigan Central depot, and were
run out Of the city and saved: Fortunately,
they had two factories in New York and
about 500, 600 WORT. OF goods were burned.
They do an immense trade, occupying tho
whole building at the corner OF Mad
ison and Franklin streets-six floors,
floor roo,n.for Offices and and saIesrooms, Is,
and do 4 business Of about s., SOC, 600 u year.
Mr: King was chosen President Of the Board
of Relief, after the great fire, for his elnI-
nent fitness, and supervised the expenditure
Of the worlds munittcence without the loss
of q cent. and with the same care, prudence,
and equity with which he manages the
clothing trade.

The wholesale clothing trade ranks third in
Chicago, gives employment to 10000 people,
and amounts to 81, SOC, ,ooo Il year. The oldest
house in the trade is that Of Charles T: KeI-

they use six floors 100 feet square for sales
