received by the commercial world with indifference and his services were not in demand. Being of determined dispo- sition, however, he began his fight to hammer himself into usefulness by driv- road at 75 cents day. From this posi- tion he forced his way up to civil engi- nerr of the road and constructed most of the bridges on that road. He resigned this position and read law for two years in the office of the chief attorney of the road, after which he went to Harlem law school. He then practiced law for nearly two years, when his eyesight be- gan to fail and he was forced to give up that pursuit. He distinguished himself in serving the public for three years in the Legislature in the Pine Tree State. In 1880 he went to Mexico as assistant general manager of railroad being built across the Isthmus of Tehuautepec and shortly after was made chief engi- neer of the road, and was acting general manager when the road was sold to the Mexican Government. He became in terested in Mines in Mexico. and in 1884 he went to New York and formed the partnership known as Bradstreet, Curtis X Co.,, doing banking business and handling stocks, bonds, etc., of which firm he is still a member. This house does good beal of business on the New York mining exchange. handling nearly all of the stock of the Phoenix Mining Company, of which MT. Bradstreet is President. His endeayors now are being directed to putting in much larger mill on the mine, and the prospects are verybright for new mill this summer, which means success for the mine

He was twice elected County Recorder of Pima county, from 1881 to 1884, twice member of the City Council, and has held many posi- tions of trust, both of a public and pri- vate character. He was elected to the Territorial Council (Senate) for two terms from Pima county, and was elected the President of that body dur ing the last (Fifteenth) legislature. To- day he is the Receiver of Public Mon- eys at the United States Land Office, Tucson.

If there is any one thing that adds to the happiness of this life it is music. A home without musical instrument IS as bad off as a girl is without a beau. The sweetness and happiness is music. Why should any one in moderate CIT cumstanees be without an organ or piano, when Clark x Whitson, of Tue son, are selling pianos and organs; of su- perior makes onsuch easy terms, as the
 installment plan or taking in exchange as part payment old instrumental for new ones? Among the eight different makes of pianos Clark X Whitson are selling they make speciality of the Everett and the Kimball, owing to the superiority of the instruments and being especially adapted to this exceedingly dry and warm climate. These gentlemen have sold over three carloads of pianos and organs in Southern Arizona since the first day of January, 1891. The senior member of the firm, A. K. Clark, is largely interested in the piano and organ business in Denver and Pueblo, Col,

J. s. Mansfield, Pioneer News Dealer of
 Arizona.
ESTABLISHED lS70.l


 [EsTABLIsnED lS7O.l
 It is needless to estimate the import ance of the Book and Stationery trade, as that has long since been recognized, as it is positively indispe lsable to the development of country, commercially, socially and intellectually; and the character of an establishment such as heads this article, decides, to a very large extent, the intellectual status of the community in which it exists. The city of Tucson has certainly cause for congratulation, that there is found in it., one of the finest Book and Stationery establishments in the Territory--the well known house of J. $. Mansfield. Mir. Mansfield, who is sole proprietor of the establishment, commenced business in 1870, and is therefore ''the Pioneer" |" having himself sold the first newspaper in the Territory and organized the first circulating library. He has built up a prosperous trade. In point of fact it is the largest of the kind in the Territory.
 The premises occupied are extensive and commodious, consisting of a large brick store, 40x60 feet. The stock, which is varied and complete, consists of books of all kinds, elegant stationery, pictures, engravings, toys, fancy goods, cigars and cutlery, full line of which is kept constantly on hand. He is one of the most careful purchasers, and therefore, his stock is one which a library can confidently select from.
 MT. Mansfield has been in business for the past twenty years, and is known throughout the Territory as one of the best business men in mercantile circles.
 Large orders are filled from customers who reside in Mexico, but who cannot
 Mir. Mansfield carries a stock of goods that cannot be exceled west of Denver and east of San Francisco. Many a commercial traveller in the stationery line, selling only to the jobbing trade, would not stop in Tucson were it not for the business reputation that Mir. Mans field commands abroad for their money. He is today selling periodicals, news papers, books, etc., for the same money you pay in any eastern city or San Fran cisco, and besides, will mail or deliver in time any of the daily or weekly papers for the exact price of the regular subscription.
 One thing is due to Mir. Mansield's success as merchant and that is, he has never taken advantage of the. peo- pie by charging exhorbitant prices for goods. He has been willing to content himself with small profit and give his customers value received. Mir. Mans field was president of the Pioneer Society and twice appointed as Regent of the Universith. He is now chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Pima county, also Councilman of the city and one of the main helpers to frame the first charter of Tucson. Mir. Manfeld is now

The gentleman above named is of that class who are entitled to much consider ation when speaking of the promoters of enterprises which require capital to carry to success. A brief sketch of his life will convince the reader that he is of that class which will mostly benefit the Territory.
 Mir. Bradstreet was born in Bridgeton, Me-, in 1852, where he spent the early part of his life. He attended the academy at that place, after which he entered Bowdoin College in 1870 and graduated from that institution in 1874 with the diploma of civil engineer. At this point he started out to face the bat tie of life. Like many others, he was

of the uniform reliability, elegant finish and substantial nature of the various articles turned out by him. He has always on hand full and complete stock of harness, saddles, brides, spurs, bits, road carts, shoemakers sup plies and is also, sole agent for the American Whip company and the Lay Whip company. As a manufacturer of saddles, brides, harness, etc., and dealer in saddlery leather, Mir. Villaes- cusa enjoys hourishing and extensive trade, and has all kinds of machinery for doing manufacturing business.
 He has resided in Tucson for the past twelve years, and has been engaged in his present business since 1881. He is one of the finest workmen in the Terri tory and has attained an honorable position among the business men of his community, and gives employment to seven regular workmen. He has large brick-front store, 36xl32 feet, on the cor ner of Jackson and Meyer streets, which were completed the Sth of this month. The manner in which his business is is an indisputable evidence of the skill and enterprise of it's pro- prietor, and his removal to larger quarters is a standing guarantee of in- creasing usefulness and prosperity.

 All Kinds of Produce.
 The term "grocer," was formerly used to signify merchant who sold the sta ples, coffee, sugar, tea, etc., in gross, but with the progress in trade the busi- ness of the grocer became more compre- hensve, and his stock was enlarged, in cluding many articles carried by houses, pr branches, as specialties. The above stablishment-that of A. V. Grossetta X Co.--takes leading place in that line, and the individual members of the firm are A. V. Grosetta and l.. G. Rad ulovich, both gentlemen who under stand fully the business in which they are engaged. They deal in general gro ceries and provisions and carry on a general merchandise trade also, keeping on hand the finest ranch butter and eggs to be found in the market, all fresh and the cheapest to be had in the city. They make speciality of dealing in all kinds of California fruits, They carry very large stock of goods in their stores, which are located opposite the Southern Pacific railroad depot. Goods are de- livered by them to any part of the city free of charge.
 They have large trade and enjoy the respect of the community, and are known as men of integrity. No firm has done more to deserve success than they. People living in the surrounding country will do well when in the city to give this enterprising house call.
 MT. Grossetta has a magnificent or chard of forty acres near the city of Tue son, which consists of the following varieties of trees: Peaches, plums, quinces, nectarines, apricots. pears, prunes, almonds, etc. He has every facility for irrigating and keeping his orchard up in first-class condition.

Arizona National Bank of Tucson.

From lS40 to 1864 all banking institu- tions in this country were chartered by States. The development of the re- sources, increase in their natural pro- ducts and the demand of our commer- cial and manufacturing interests, bring ing about system of exchange, showed the State system to be crude and slow, and necessitated an improvement in facilities and uniformity in the bank ing operations of the country. To this end the national banking system was enacted in 1864 and, in the opinion of financiers of great experience and marked ability, it is decided improve ment on the old system of this country and of Europe. The national banks in- vest one-fourth of their capital in the bonds of the National Government, and by deposit of these in the United States Treasury are authorized to issue notes for circulation.
 The Arizona National Bank is SO we'll known that it scarcely requires any comment at our hands. The personnel and regulations of it's managers and officers are sufficient guarantee to the public of any matter which may be in trusted to them.
 The policy of this bank is highly conservative one and, while there may be such thing as extreme caution, f. is pardonable offense which only affects the profits and never endangers the well fare of any institution.
 Their cash reserve scarcely ever falls below fifty per cent of their deposits, thereby enabling them at all times to be in position to handle transactions of importance without any effort.
 We can confidently recommend our readers to entrust any business they may have in that line to the Arizona National Bank of Tucson.
 The following well-known business men as it's officers: B. NJ. Jacobs, Pre- sident; M. P. Freeman, Cashier; J. w. Johnston, Mammoth; George Pusch, Lionel M. Jacobs, s. M. Franklin, B. M. Jacobs, Tucson, Directors.
