II. s. PHILLIPS.

This lively gentleman came to Pull
man in 1885 from Vancouver, W. T., and
one OF his first movements was to sup
ply the growing town with a dray line.
At about the same time he opened fur
niture store, giving this his personal at
tention, the severe wounds he received
while serving in the Union army inca
pacitating him from heavy labor. His
store was twice destroyed by fire (the
first time without insurance., but to-
day he is on deck as usual and with one
of the largest and most varied stocks of
furniture, willow-ware, pictures, frames,
mirrors, sewing machines, ETC., that the
Palouse valley has ever beheld inside of
one structure. And "Cap." is a great
worker for Pullman, too.
hMhAS WHITE JACKSON,
the all-round rustlers in the drug and
stationery lines, have a cosy place of
business, equipped throughout with eV-
cry article necessary to the trade. Mr..
White succeeded the old firm of Kaylor
& Webb in 1885. and in '88 Mr.. Jackson
was admitted to partnership. The boys
are energetic, and will grow in wealth as
the town grows.
F. L. SASBORN & co.
commenced business here in the harness
and saddlery line in 1886, and had just
fairly started up good trade when the
disastrous fire of '87 numbered them
among its victims. PhGnix-ike, how
ever, they rose from the ruins and went
at it again, possessing in an eminent de-
gree the pluck and faith that character
lied the burned-out men of that day.
Sanborn & Co. have now very fine bus
mess and splendid stock of harness,
saddles, saddlery hardware, ETC., and are
also conducting prosperous branch es-
Establishment at Sprague.
MASON BROTHERS.
These gentlemen began business here
in 1887, and are doing finely. They
have the only meat market in Pullman,
but this fact does not prevent them from
selling at reasonable figures. The best
the country affords is to be found upon
their hooks and counters.
. THE BANK OF PULLMAN
is aAincorporated bank, with a capital of
$4,000, soon to be increased to $4,000.
It was established in 1887, and is doing
safe and profitable business. Walter
V. Windus, cashier. -
VICTOR HUNEIKER,
the matchmaker and jeweler, in the post
office building, is recent arrival, and
it can be truthfully said that his coming
did fill "a long-felt want" in that line.
Mr.. H. has demonstrated a thorough
understanding of his business, and is
having all he can dc in the way of first
class repairing. He has, also, neat lit
tie stock of watches, jewelry, etc.
FENDER DRINKwATER.
NJ. w. Drinkwater was one Of the first
blacksmiths of Pullman. In "a he was
succeeded by the Gender Bros, Martin
Gender as a wagon and carriage-maker.
The business continued under Martin s
management until the fall of '88, when
ARTHUR Drinkwater, son Of M. W., was
taken into partnership under the above
title. The fame of this firm. for No.
blacksmithing and wagon-work is toe
well known throughout the Palouse val
lev to need extended notice here.
MARK C. TRUE,
our lively hotel-keeper and iveryman
dropped into Pullman from Moscow, L
T., in the winter of 1928. The follow
ing spring he built the Palace Hotel
which at that time was considerably
ahead of the needs of the town. Since
then, however, he has been compelled to
enlarge the building very materially to
accommodate the travel. To-day Mr.. T
finds it again too small, and is about to
remodel and enlarge the whole structure
to double its present size. A fine livery
outfit is connected with the house.
BENJAMIN & RICE
are at the head OF another extensive bus
mess in the blacksmith and carriage line.
Mr.. Benjamin is one Of our earliest set
tiers, and was the first blacksmith to
pound the anvil in Pullman. He left
for other fields in 1888, but returned in
SO and resumed business. Mr.. Rice
became a partner in '8S. The firm has
a fine plant and enjoys lucrative trade.
E. H. LETTERMAN & co.
are the extensive grain7buyers of this
section, Mr.. Letterman being the local
manager of the firm. Until 1888, when
the present firm was formed, Mr.. L. pur-
chased grain here on his own account.
Good prices are maintained and thous-
ards OF dollars annually paid out to our
farmers by this house.
