W. H. McKNEw.
The we'll known house of the late r. II. Tay-
lor is now owned and managed by Mr.. W. II.
McKnew, his nephew. For several years prior
to Mr.. Taylor's death Mr. McKnew was associ-
ated with him in business. 1t is one of the old
established houses in the city, having been
opened in 1861 by Mr.. Chas. l.. Lockwood,
Shortly afterward the firm of Lockwood, Hufty
and Taylor was formed, and business was car
ried on at the store on Pennsylvania avenue,
between 9Th and 10th streets, where the present
establishment is now located. For a number Of
years they carried on what is known as mems
trade, and gained quite reputation as shirt
makers. During the course of time ladies
wares were gradually introduced into
their stock, and now the entire establishment
is devoted to this business. Mr.. McKnew. the
proprietor, is a young man, who has shown a
keen and an intelligent aptitude for busine S.
he studies the market, and endeavors to keep
abreast OF the rapid changes which fashion
and taste dictates. The personal popularity
which the former proprietor, Mr.. Taylor, gained
has been retained by Mr. McKnew, who unites
good business capacity with pleasant. courte-
GUS manner. He knows that the proper way to
acquaint the public with the good things he
offers is by advertising in TIE STAR.
