Mr.. Goodrich In 1884. IT was then of COM
paratively little importance, but under the
excellent management of its present
owner 1t soon advanced to a leading place
among the merchantile interests of the
town.
Mr.. Goodrich is native of Huntington
this Co., and is a son of Rev. James Good
rich well known in this section of the
state. MIR. Goodrich is clothing man of
fifteen years experience having been en-
gagged 10 this line for several years In Os-
wego co, N. Y. before locating here. Fif-
teen years experience is Of great value in
any business and the customers Of this
store cant help but profit by the same.
The store is large and handsome two

and well equipped In modern styles
Tor the purposes Of the
business. In order TO get the lowest
prices and the largest discounts in pur-
chasing, Mr. Goodrich buys all staples in

away 10 the neighboring towns TO buy. Mr..

reflects great credit upon NJ. Daugherty
in charge. During his five years Of bus
iness in Wellington Mr.. Goodrich must
certainly have met with gratifying success
