The Four Speciaittes Of the House OF
Morkheimcr Brothers.

The now extensively known firm OF
Horkheimer Brothers were formerly the
Junior members Of the houses OF simon
Horkheimer & Co Of this city, and Baer,
Horkheimer & Co, OF GAINESVILLE, both
among the very oldest established firms in
their respective sections. The interests Of
both houses were bought some three years
ago and the present firm built upon their
solid foundations OF long and prosperous
business careers. The consolidation. strong
as it was inherently, was made doubly as
effective by the infusion Of strong and
more actively employed capital and an
amount Of native energy, tact and business
enterprise which has led, in the short Pc
Rod mentioned, to the occupation OF the
leading position in the West in their re-
spective lines.
