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 tie last five years was the
business manager of the great dry goods house of
A. L. Stewart & Co., in Chicago, and was trained
to the business and familiarzed with the details
of a vast dry goods trade in the New Y ork house.
He has added to his knowledge of the dry goods
trade In the east a thorough acquaintance with
the condition and wants of this trade in the west
As the firm of A. T. Stewart g. Co. was retir-
ing from business, they secured the services of a
large corps of their clerks and statesmen so that
the house thus organized knew the standing and
had the good will OF western merchants at the
start. Importing largely, they have been
singularly fortunate in their foreign connections
IN selecting one of the most competent expert
enced and trustworthy experts in foreign goods at
the head of their European house. Such a COM
bination of favorable conditions rarely unites in
the persons of so competent men to inaugurate
their entrance upon great mercantile enterprise
as attended the Introduction of this new house to
the dr. goods trade of Chicano. Both the active
partners are in the prime and vigor OF manhood
and good representatives of the class of merchants
who have given character, wealth and fame to
Chicago.
With ample capital Astounding industry and
enterprise, courteous and affable manners adapted
to make and retain friends. and resolute pur-
pose to win success by deserving it, and with the
hearty good will of their contemporaries, this
house has taken a very prominent part in the dry
goods trade of the West 1t is the union of
active, experienced members of DID, large and
eminently successful houses in a new firm, TO con-
duct business which they thoroughly under
stand, in field in which they are well and favor
