do not start off fully equipped with expert
clerks, surplus cash and eager customers, up
on large business career. Public confidence
and popular favor are the growth of time.
The exceptions to this law are phenomenal
and always attract attention by their novel
ty. An instance of this kind is furnished by
the unexampled success ofthe new dry goods
firm of Burke, Walker & o., occupying the
five-story block, .1O0 by 1G6 feet, 23O to 236
Adams street. Beginning business there last
January, under exceptionally favorable aus
pieces, their trade has more than doubled
their expectations and is increasing beyond
all precedent.
Mr. Burke, for the last twenty-five years.
has occupied leading position in the
wholesale trade of Chicago, is favorably
known to the business men of the West, and,
by previous training and business experience
is specially well fitted for this enterprise.
Mr.. Walker, for the last five years, was the
business manager of the great Dry Goods
house of A. T. Stewart & Co., in Chicago, and
was trained to the business and familiarized
with the details of a vast dry goods trade in
the New York house. He has added to his
knowledge of the dry goods trade in the East
thorough acquaintance with the condition
and wants of this trade in the West.

of large corps oftheir clerks and statesmen,

standing and b ID the good will of wester mer-
chants at the start. Importing largely, they
have been singularly fortunate in their for
eign connections in selecting one of the most
competent, experienced and trustworthy ex-
perts in foreign goods at the head of their Eu-
ropean house. Such ombination of favor
able conditions rarely unites in the persons of
30 competent men to inaugurate their en-
trance upon great mercantile enterprise as
attended the introduction of this new house to
the dry goods trade ofChicago. Both the &C.
tive partners are in the prime and vigor OF
manhood, and good representatives of the
class of merchants who have given character.
