BUSINESS VIEWS !
A. S. GOULDEN.

Among the fifty two groceries now
doing business in Martinsburg, the
Star Grocery, under the proprietor.
ship of A. S. Goulden, stands as
among the leading. Mr.. Goulden
who was formerly of this paper, is
well known to our community and
is an energetic business man. He
left the unremunerative field of jour.
nalism for the mercantile and since
he has engaged in business has, in
the short period of six months built
up large trade. He sells goods at
q very low profit, and in his dealings
with his customers can always be re-
lied upon as upright, honorable and
honest. lie also deales largely in
coal of all kinds. His store is next
to NIcklas Carpet Store.
G. i. HARDWOOD,
successor to r. Il. Timberlake & Co.,
is native Of Petersburg, Va, but
left there at an early age, and set.
tied in Martinsburg, w. Va, in 1867,
and entered the mercantile business
as clerk for Mr.. ID. w. Timberlake,
proprietor of the then well known
New York Store, where he served
as an employee until 1882, when
Mr.. ID. w. Timberlake sold out to
Messrs. II. u. Timberlake a. Co.,
and was employed by Mr.. s. ID. Tim.
berlake, Jr., the absent partner, to
represent his interest. In Septem.
Der, 1885, he purchased the entire
stock and become sole proprietor
Since that time he has been doing
thriving and prosperous business.
And his success has been far beyond
his expectations. The secret of Mr..
Harwood's success is largely due to
his energy, and close personal ap.
plication to his business, and for his
untiring interest for the welfare Of
his numerous patrons. Mr.. Harwood
is jealous, courteous, and bold
merchant. His fair dealings, gen
tlemanly manners, and superb bus
mess qualities, have won for him the
confidence and esteem Of the people
of Martinsburg and vicinity, a posi-
ton he richly deserves. Mr.. Har-
wood is the leading merchant in
bis line, and we advise the people
to visit his large emporium, where
We insure fair dealings will be meted
out to all.
