OUR MERCHANTS.
P. B. BRANNAN & co.

localed in Prescott and this place. P. Brannan, the manager of the Flagstaff house, was the pioneer lner- chant of this section, having embarked in business here in the spring of 1880. Alive to the future importance of the place, he has, since that time, been closely identified with its best inter ests and developments. During the past season MT. Grammar erected in the Jew town large stone building with commodious cellar and ample storehouses at cost of near ten thous- and dollars. The stock of goods within the walls of this edifice is in keeping with the exterior, forming on the whole an establishment unsur- passed perhaps in northern Arizona, and established, we believe, on foun- dation financially which IS a great credit to its founder and manager.
 M. EARTH X WILSON.
 At an early day in the boom that percipitated the wonderful growth of new town, came ]. H. Wilson, who in connection with M. Earth, at once began the erection of the large and commodious store now occupied by them. Aside from his large expert. ence as merchant in northern Arizo- na and New Mexico, MT. Wilson speaks Spanish and the Navajo langua- ges fluently, and has selected large stock of general merchandise pecul- iarly adapted to the trade of this sec ton. With reputation so we'll es- abolished and with an extended ac- qualntance along the eastern line of the road, we predict for MT. Wilson a prosperous career. MT. Wilson does wholesale and retail trade, and iu the brief time spent here has already received and filled orders from adja- cent towns along the line of railway and from remote settlements in the interior of the Territory.
 J. R. KILPATRICK,
 So well known along the line of the A. X P. road, in connection with Stover, Crary x Co.,, has recently es- abolished himself in our town. MT. Fitzpatrick purchased property in a central part of the town and erected a large and substantial business house with the faith of man who had come to stay. MT. K. deals in general merchandise, but if there is speciality in his carefully selected stock it IS in fresh and fancy groceries and canned goods. Those who are seeking for something out of the ordinary trade in that line will do we'll to look for il on Mir. Ks shelves, which in point of variety as we'll as quanty is unsurpas- sed by any house in this section in the trade.
 DE WITT C. NEWELL.
 To our patrons along the line of the A. & P. railway the name of De Witt C. Newell is as familiar as that of the great enterprise with which he was so early identified. Though but boy in years when he first embarked in business on his own account, he has by an honest, energetic and per sistent course, arose from an insignif- icant position on the A. & P. road to his present respectable and promi nent positition in our business and social circles. He, like all of our enterprising dealers, has purchased property, built substantial buildings, and identified himself with the future of our town. One of the special fea- lures of Mir. Newel's stock is his pho tographic views of many of the lead ing features of scenery along the line of the A. & P. While of minor i'm. portance in point of nominal value, they furnish an interesting subject for present to friends in the east or a valuable souveniour in years to come for ourselves. MT. Newell deals in general merchandise, making some thing of specially in fancy groceries and notions and many of those rare little luxuries that tend to make life more enjoyable.
