46 years of age. lie came to America
in 1855 and resided the greater portion
of his life in this country, prior to his
making Texas his home, in Louisiana
and Mississippi. lie was engaged in the
importing business in New York and
in the importing and commission bus
mess in New Orleans. At the early
age of 23, such was his business capac-
ity, he was at the head of the largest
dry goods house in the United States,
in New Orleans. When resident of
Vicksburg, Miss. he was president OF
the board of aldermen of that city, and
chairman of the finance committee. In
New Orleans he filed number of inn
portant positions of public trust and
honor, and when only % years old he
was connected with the most promi-
nent financial men in the north and
south. In 1880 he came to Texas, set
tied in Dallas and then founded his
present large magnificent business.
His business then as compared with its
present magnificent proportions was
insignificant, his sales having increas-
ed from $4,000 the first year to re-
tail trade at this time of over $250,OOO
per annum.
BY hard labor he overcamc the
many obstacles he found opposing
him, and to-day the present firm is
steadily going ahead and upward all
the time. BY business integrity, tact,
a thorough training in the true science
of business and a personal reliability,
and promptness, he has accomplished
in the six years past what few men
have cqualcd and none surpassed.
Having been raised since boy in the
largest markets Of the country, and
acquired perfect business education,
his knowledge of when and where to
buy and how to profit by all phases OF
the markets is benefit to his custom
ers that to consider a moment is to
recognize and appreciate the advan-
tages thereof In his eventful career of
nearly quarter of century he has
not only lost no friends, nor any Of
his natural grit and vim, but is to-day
considered one Of the most successful
and accomplished business men of
Dallas, and the HERALD can cast a
horoscope for him in the near future of
n still greater prominence-a pre-emi-
nencc indeed, and which is so merited
and deserved This firm carries i'm
mense stocks in all its departments of
childrens, boys, youths and
mems clothing, from the
plainest to the most elegant.
In hats and caps their stock is equally
as full and diversified, the firm being
sole agents of some of the most noted
hats. In furnishing goods This house
cannot be surpassed Their lines in
this department extend from the bot
tom round to the highest of the most
superb silken underwear. With
large force, a small battalion you
might say, of employees, the house
from the bright glow of the early
morn to the fading hours of twilight
lis busy bee hive, as it were, of bust
ness; yet there is perfect system that
pervades all, securing harmony and
that even symmetrical adjustment OF
the various departments that prevents
hustle or clash. Another feature that
commends itself to the public, and that
has been no unimportant factor in the
grand success of this house, is the one
price, at all times, under all circum-
stances, and to every class of patrons,
that prevails. Just what goods are
marked and offered at is what they
are sold for-not cent more, not a
cent less. Mr.. Reinhardt has revolu-
tionized the trade of the
city, too, by transferring it
from the old section to the
eastward, whittier the city in its rapid
growth is tending, his house now
being the spacious and handsome three
story brick corner of Elm and Muir
ply streets. Never, since Mr.. Rein
hardt has been a resident of Dallas,
has there been any movement for the
development and advancement Of the
city he has not been foremost in. Full
of energy, of rare intelligence and ac-
complishments. of answering integ-
