I. s. WHITE & CO.,

A Now wholesale Stationery and Printing
House with a Veteran in the Business at
Its Head.
A residence in st. Paul of twenty-six
years has made the name of True White
one Of the best known in the city. His per-
sonal friends are legion, who not only ap-
preciate his genial temperament, but adj
mire his grit, energy and business sagacity
and integrity. He is one of the class of
men whotake an important part in trans
forming the great Northwest into busy
hive of industry, and man whom any
city should be glad to foster.
Mr.. White is, withal, a St. Paulite in all
the elements of vim, push ana determine
ton that so markedly characterize the bu-
siness men who have made st. Paul what
she is to-day-the chief commercial city
of the Northwest. When but lad he
became connected with the wholesale pa
per and stationery firm of Averill, Rus
sell s. Carpenter, the first manufacturing
and wholesale paper house in the State,
andwith such determination and push
were the affairs of the firm managed that
it soon became the most formidable rival
in all the Northwest of Culver, Page g.
HoYne, and other leading firms in Chi
cago.
After ten years of service with this firm
Mr.. White organized the wholesale pa
per and stationery firm of T. s. White Sc
Co. The firm at once commanded a
leading position among the houses of its
line in the country, and so continued un-
til the formation of stock company was
brought about, which being unsatisfac-
tory to him, he retired from the company
But Mr.. White is not the man to yield
a business to which he has devoted the
best energies of his early manhood, to
one disappointment in his expectations
As a result of the inherent quality of
push and determination, we find to-day
at No. II East Third street, the sign of
ssT. s. White g. Co.. over the main en-
trance of large three-story and base
ment stone building Entering and going
through the different floors; we find here
one of the largest and most carefully Sc
lected stocks Of paper, blank books, of
flee stationery of all kinds,
ever gathered together under one roof
in any similar establishment in the
Northwest. An enumeration of the
different articles, brands of goods, etc.,
would more than occupy all the space in
the GLOBE. Suffice that everything kept
by any similar establishment in the
country, can be here found, and at prices
that will defy competition.

But while looking out fully for the
wants of the wholesale trade, in inaugu
rating his new enterprise, Mr. White has
not lost sight of the fact that the great
commercial houses of the city
and State, railroad, steamboat and other
publishing departments, etc., ETC., could
be greatly accommodated by having an es-
tablishment at which they could contract
ing upon the same as might be required,
this class, the firm of T. s. White 81 Co.
sortment of commercial stationery, which
will be kept full at all seasons of the
year, and in addition, have established a
AddSO oAO well koPPOintCO COuiHiCiCioi
printing establishment, with steam power
presses, the latest and most fashionable
styles of type, labor saving appliances,
with accomplished workmen in charge,
thus enabling them to do this quality of
work, in which Is included bill-heads,
letter heads and note-heads, receipts,
blank books, checks, drafts, in fact all
kinds of commercial printing, in better
style, more expeditiously and cheaper
than any establishment in the city.
An important feature of the whole busi-
ness will be the uniform low price which
will characterize the sales of this firm,
and the promptness which will attend the
execution of all orders entrusted to their
care
We bespeak for this new firm liberal
patronage from the New Northwest at
large, while the consumers of stationery
at home in the city will no doubt find it
to their interest to give them call
