The Oldest and most reliable grocery
house in the city, is the well known
firm of Thomas & Jones. Having start
ed in business in February 1871, they
have by their integrity and strict adhe-
renee TO business, built up a large trade.
In addition to their retail trade they also
do considerable whoIesaling. Buying
their goods in car load lots, they are
therefore: able to get car load rates
which gives them considerable advan-
tage over shipping goods in small guam
titles.

there were over million pieces sent
from the Office and more than that num-

n j. Bird,
The popular jeweler, although but a
short time established in our city, has,
through honesty. integrity and persevcr.
ence, succeeded in establishing a first.
class business.
Mr.. Bird came TO Emporia from I'LL
nois in December, 1880, and opened in
the small store next to the 80 cent store,
and announced himself as a practical
matchmaker and jeweler.
Many were the predictions that he
would make failure of it. That year
crops were poor, times were hard and
trade had to be secured 10 the face of
strong opposition from old established
firms.
He started out with the published de-
claration that he intended to maintain
an enviable reputation of selling to all
alike, giving to everyone full value for
his money. His principle has been
strictly adhered to and no misrepresen.
tation has ever been allowed in his
house.
Customers soon came to understand
when Bird said an article was so and SO
the statement could be depended upon
to the letter, and further, he soon acquir-
ed the reputation of being one of the
best watchmakers in the State, and work
began to come in from ali sections, soon
making it necessary to engage an assist
ant, and today the are kept busily en-
gagged.
Starting out in comparatively small
quarters, the rapid increase in his trade
compelled him TO seek 3 more commodi-
pus location, and in April last he re
moved to the corner of Fifth and Com.
mercial street, where, with increased fa.
cilities,- he is better enabled to cater more
fully to the increasing demands of his
business. In the year just past Mr.. B.
did business of over $4,000 and has
done over e1,T50 worth of watch work,
going to show that even now honesty.
iGtegrity and ability, will fad its tnll sc
knoyledgement among the people.
At his present place Mr.. B. carries one
of the largest stocks of watches, dia-
mond jewelry, clocks and silverware in
the state, and is constantly receiving
and increasing his stock with the latest
styles and novelties, always keeping the
want and desires Of his patrons in full
| view
