C. b. BURST.
That honesty and industry will oh
tain its reward is a proverbial adage
which is clearly exemplified in the case
OF Mr.. G. B. burst, the gentlemanly and
ever-obliging grocer OF 252 Main street.
One year and a half prior to this writing
MIR. burst embarked in the grocery trade
at his present stand in small way and
with comparatively little capital. Having
to contend against strong competition on
all sides, speculation was at the time rife
as to the success or failure of his under
taking. Wiseacres were, to saw the
least, not very encouraging in their
prophecies as to the outcome. However.
by indefatigable effort-a true American
Of "go-a-head- ativenesss' |
and general disposition to please, Mr..
burst began to show the public in gem
sral that he was young man not to be |
Kept down. AS was before remarked. he |
las been in business but eighteen |
months and now ranks among the very |
lrst OF the retail grocers of Salt Lake Citv |

How has this rapid advancement and |
healthy growth been attained, you will |

morning customers were waited upon at
heir residences by an order solicitor.

nd carefully attended to. Through the
tnct attention paid to customers and the
uality and reasonable price of the goods
their orders steadily increased
number and size until an order wagon

ew business was found to be necessary.
nd from this point the success of the
rm was evident.
Mr: burst conducts his business on the
rlnclple OF honesty and straightforward
ess. When an order is taken, either in

men is an important factor OF his trade).
