Business Triumpfs.

There are triumphs in business quite as
wonderful as victories elsewhere. The pros
perIty and continued growth of the dry goods
business of Messrs. Hislop, Porteous and
Mitchell, of this city, is nothing If it is not
marvellous. Twelve years ago they hired one
of the most spacious stores in Norwich, and
began what proves to have been an incom-
parable business career. They were young,
enterprising, experiencedin in business, modern
in their business measures and energetic in
building up trade. They offered unequaled
bargains, and soon were favored with such
liberal patronage that they were obliged 10
enlarge their store and force of clerks. In
response to increased demand they have kept
adding to their establishment until it exten ds
through three adjoining blocks, taking the
room formerly occuuied by five stores and
requiring a force of fifty clerks. Nine years
ago they started store III New London. and
four years ago another at Auburn, y. Y.
Thss stores occupy large forces of clerks,
and have grown into permanent and profit
able places of business.
In March they will open their fourth store
at Grand Rapids. Mich, where they have
leased the Foster block. n four-story build
ing, twenty-five feet wide and one hundred
and twenty five feet deep, with all the Md
ern facilities for doing business. The new
firm will he Trankla. Jameson & company.
Charles Trankla, the head of the new firm.

Messrs. Hislop, Porteous IL Mitchell for the
past eight years. and is one of the most ex-
perienced and Trustworthy men ever I'm their
employ. Mr. John Jameson has had charge
of their dress goods department. and i
thoroughly educated business man. Both
men have the personal and business qualih-
cations to ensure the success of the new store
from the start.
In addition to their own enterprises they
have aided half dozen firms made up from
their best clerks. TO start in business in the
West, and those who have been graduated by
this honse are doing business after their
methods and report good business successes.
Not failure has yet been the result of any
of these business ventures.
The mother firm have succeeded i'm build
ing up syndicate of their own. They buy
immense stocks of goods and reap all the adj
vantages that come from large orders and
prompt cash payments. These advantages
they share with their customers. and the lib
eral patronage they receive everywhere is
the best evidence that their way If doing
business is the best way. and their one-price
cash system the most popular OF modern
times. When they cannot give their Gus
