The iewclry house of Howard Tully is
one OF the most substantial business In
situations of the city. Beginning seven
years ago the sale of watches, clocks,
diamonds, iewclN and silvcrware, his
business has grown with marvellous ra-
pidity. His stock is doubtless the largest
in the state, and his selection of dia-
monds, fine watches, chains and rings
cannot he surpassed in the South.
MIR. Tully Is Il practical iewclcr and
was specially trained for the business in
one of the largest icwclry
establishments in the East.
He cast his lot with the people of Fort
Worth while the city was yet wearing
bibs, and has Kept pace with its rapid
growth toward commercial supremacy.
Some idea of the immensely of his stock
can be gathered from the fact that his
stock of diamonds alone ordinarily
amounts to more than 500, 900. OF course
during certain seasons his stock runs
much above this, Tor Fort Worth sells
more diamonds and fine watches, doubt
less, than any other two cities in
the state. With the exception of small lots
he has sold but few goods at wholesale
until recently. and he is Just beginning to
realize the possibilities of the future in
this direction. There Is no point in the
state better suited for Wholesale level
ry establishment than Fort Worth, and
but few If any men better suited for
the business. II is safe To predict Il grand
future for the popular house of Howard
Fully, and none are more deserving of
success.
