Fairbanks, Morse & Co.'S Estab-
lishment in the Sanity City.
Fairbanks, Morse u Co., 371-3 Sibley
street, was established in st. Paul In
1878 as branch of the headquarters in
Chicago, and is now the supply house
for the entire Northwest. including
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Montana. Scales and other
manufactures are sent directly hither

the manager, having filled that position
since the company began doing business

known in business circles here, and
those with whom the firm have had
dealings, throughout the entire district,
speak of him in terms of high respect,
as all efficient manager and reliable
business man, We may add that this
firm occupies the entire building where
they are located, and have none too
much room for the accommodation of

A HIGHER REPUTATION
Could Not Be Desired Than That

Could Not Be Desired Than That
of Griggs, Cooper Il Co.
Among the wholesale grocers Of ST..
Paul there is no house which has a
higher reputation than this. The firm
is now composed of Chauncey W. and
c. Milton Griggs, David G. Shepard,
Jason W. Cooper, Jerome Plat and AL
bert Wilkinson. Chauncey GriggS was
born in this city in 1860, and has always
lived here, except while attending Yale
college, from which he graduated in
1882. He began business the same fall
with Messrs. Glidden. Griggs & Co. In
1885 the firm name became YAM, Griggs
& Howes. by the joining of new part
nerS. and continued as such till last
year. when Mr.. Yanz's death caused a
vacancy which was filled by the recep-
ton of j. W. Cooper. Mr.. Plat and Mr..
Wilkinson were also admitted at that
time. The latter, whe is an eX-
perienced buyer, was with 2.
ii. Kelly fT twenty-five years.
It is claimed for this firm that 1t now
does the largest wholesale grocery bust
ness of any house in the Twin Cities.
Under Mr.. TanZ'S management, from
1885 till 1890, the business grew rapidly,
and it extended over much larger ter
ritory than had ever before been occu-
pied by st. Paul house. All the men,
bers of the present firm are favolably
known as practical and efficient bust
ness men, who have the faculty Of max
ing and keeping friends in both bust
ness and social circles: but it is said the
fact that Messrs. G. w. Griggs and ID.
C. Shepard are united with it as general
partners has much to do with its popu-
larity, and makes it financially the
strongest firm in the Northwest.

ACHIEVED SUCCESS.
The Wholesale Liquor Establish

The Wholesale Liquor Establish
ment Operated by ID. Aberle &
Co.
The old firm of d. Aberle & Co., 228-
80 East Seventh street, formerly occu-
pied the corner of Jackson and Fifth
streets. The increase of their business
required more room than the old build
ing afforded, and, they accordingly
moved into their present quarters in
1881. This is a four-story building with
large basement, all of which they have
in use. They are wholes alers of wines
and liquors, and have very extensive
business in all parts of this state, to
which their trade is entirely confined.
They keep four travelling men constant
ly on the road.
Mr.. Aberle the leading member OF the
firm was born in Germany, and came to
this country in 1861. Having had a
thorough mercantile training in the la nd
of his birth, he naturally drifted into
that line of business on coming to
America. and being a gentleman OF
good business habits, rapidly achieved
success, but did not cOnfiue his atten-
ton entirely to this line of trade. Be-
coming stakeholder in the CONNER
cial Bank of this city he was elected
one of the directors, and also became a
member of the board OF directors of the
Hecla Fire Insurance company. Being
ambitious he aSpired to political hon
ors as well, and for several years has
been numbered among the prominent
Democrats of Ramsey county. he IS
now a member of the state central
Democratic committee, position due
to his political integrity and social alta
bility. He believes, indeed, that his
business success is largely due to his
personal popularity, claim with which
we are not disposed to take issue.

South Dakota, Montana, Washington,
Oregon. Minnesota and large portions
of California, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Idaho and Wyoming. As illustrative of
the increased business done. it may be
mentioned that from yearly sales
amounting to $25O.0OO they now total
$4,000, 900. The dimensions of the first
store occupied were 25x250x100. Two
floors were occupied. The dimensions
of the building is 75x1OO, and six floors
are occupied. In addition, the firm oe-
cupies store 50xl50. five floors, for
their carpet and house-furnishing es-
adjustment. The exact space occupied
in carrying on their business equals
fifty-one and two-tenths acres. The
growth of the business of the establish
ment has been that of the city, but GER
tainly much of its success is dine to the
business sagacity of the men who have
conducted it. From small beginning
the firm of Finch, Van Slyek & Co. to-
day stands as monument to the pro-
gressive spirit which has placed St.
Paul insthe forefront among the cities
of the country.

CAN BEAT COMPETITION.
Gordon & Ferguson Beat the Fur
Manufa ctuPers of the East.

Gordon & Ferguson Beat the Fur
Manufacturers of the East.
The firm of Gordon & Ferguson are
jobbers and manufacturers of hats,
caps, gloves and furs, and are located
at 216-226 East Fourth street. 1t was
founded in 1871 by Richard Gordon, the
present senior partner. The following
year p. ID. Ferguson became partner,
and in 1856 G. w. Gordon and Charles
l.. Kluckhohn were admitted to the
firm. Business has steadily increased
each year. The sales of 1871 were
$4,000; those of 1890 amounted to
over three-fourthS of million dollars,
showing that the establishment has kept
pace with the growth of the country
tributary to ST. Paul, and is some indi-
cation OF that growth. The manufacture
ing of furs was commenced in 1878 in
small way. The growth of this branch
has been remarkable, and it is anticl-
pated the output for the current year
will aggregate $4,000. The firm now
manufacture all descriptions Of fur
garments, from the staple fur coats for
farmers use to the coStliest SealSkin.
Their reputation for excellence of pro-
duction has been the leading element
of success. In the four departments
the firm employs 150 persons.
The manufacture of gloves was
started ten years ago, and the same care
full supervision as has characterized the
fur manufacture to secure the best re-
suits has given their gloves reputation
which has created constantly increas-
ing demand. The range of territory
covered extends from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and from the northern
boundary to Iowa and Nebraska. They
have an established trade of large pro-
portions throughout the New England
states and New York for manufacture
of furs, in face of the COM
petition of New York and Boston.
They are large importers. particularly
of furs, which are purchased at first
hands and pay no intermediate profit,
an advantage that is fully appreciated
by the trade. The complete Organiza-
ton of the firm has largely contributed
to its success. The business is divided
into departments, each department hav-
ing the exclusive attention of thor
oughly competent head. The pioneer
in all the different branches embraced
in its business, it has always assumed
and held the leading position, which it
has easily maintained.

was removed to the location of the pres
ent factory at the corner of Fifth and
ROsabel streets.
Some conception may be had of the
magnitude of business transacted by
! this concern when it is related that
sixteen travelling statesmen are on the
road all the time. These men reach out
through the Northwestern states and
territories to the Pacific coast. The sales
in 1890 aggregated In round numbers
S1,600,000, one half of which were goods
of their own manufacture. In adj
ditlOn, it should be recited that the
first SIX months of the present year
show that the trade has been increased
fully 90 per cent. This condition is
alike gratifying to the house and to the
entire city, because it gives employ
ment to 600 people, and $4,000 are thus
distributed each week among the LABOR
ing people of the city, thence to go into
the various channels for neceSsarieS Of
life.
The firm of C. Gotzian & Co. was
formed by Messrs. Freeman and Gotzian
sixteen years ago, and Mr.. Stevens
added the benefit of his energy and
ripe judgment in 1884. while p. II. Got,
zian is the son of G. GOtzian, and he in.
herits the business sagacity and integ.
rity of Mr.. GotZian pere. The factory
is large, fve-Story structure. and
every available foot of space is brought
into requisition by the needs of the
business.

ONE OF THE OLDEST.
The Hardware Firm of Adam
Decker & Co.

Decker & Co.
When the newcomer or the stranger
in the city inquiries about hardware,
and especially about stores ana the
utensils that go with them, they are re-
ferred to Adam Decker & Co. This IS
one af the oldest houses in the
state, and has an enviable repu-
tatiOn. 1t was established in
1856 in fact. In 1887 partner was taken
into the firm. The location since 1871
has been at 347 and $40 Jackson street,
although earlier it had been on Third
street near Jackson. The establishment
has been burned out twice, but true
business courage has dehed fate. and
the company is now doing a business
of 100000 year, and it is
growing at that. Forty-five men are in
the employ of the house, and the
chances are that the number will be in
creased shortly.
Up to 1887 Mr.. Decker was the sole
proprietor of the establishment, but at
this time his son, George Decker, was
taken into partnership, together with
Paul Quehl.
Mr.. Quehl is recognized mentor in
business circles. He was born in 1858,
and he came to st. Paul in 1871. He be-
came identified with Adam Decker q
Co.. and has contributed his business
sagacity to the successes of the iDStitu-
ton. He has been thus contributor
to the progress of st. Paul for fourteen
years. He has had to struggle for him
self. 1t has been case of the survival
of the fitteSt with him, for he is a self
made man.

AN INCREASING BUSINESS
Yearly Reported by Messrs. p. r.
l.. Hardenbergh & Co.

The firm who carry on business under
the title of P. r. l.. Hardenbergh & Co.,
1S6 East Third street, comprises Messrs.
w. A. Hardenbergh and M. w. Fitzger-
aid, together with the estate of MIR. p.
r. l.. Hardenbergh, deceased. The lat
ter established the business in Chicago
in 1857, and remained there eleven
years: but, concluding that st. Paul
was better location, he removed hither
in 1868, and commenced business on
West Third street, between Wabash8
and st. Peter; soon after he changed to
East Third street, between Robert and
Minnesota. In 1881 the firm made
another removal TO its present loo alton,
as given in the heading. Their line OF
business is leather and findings, sad
dlery hardware, fitted uppers, etc. They
began manufacturing harness soon after
establishing themselves in their present
quarters, and also added the line of
Saddlery and harness hardware at that
time. Their factories. which ale large
establishments and give employment to
a number of persons, are located on the
corner of Mendoza and Conway streets.
We have no data as to the dates when
Messrs. W. A. Hardenbergh and Nj. w.
Fitzgerald were added to the firm. The
house does large and increasing bust
ness, and is one of st. Paul'S prosperous

MADE A SUCCESS.
Foot, Schulze & Co. Strong
Wholesale Shoe Firm.

Foot. SchGlze & Co., 23S-237 East
Third street, dates its commencement
as st. Paul house from 1885, but its
leading member, Mr.. Silas B. Foot. was
the pioneer boot, shoe and shoepaek
manufacturer of the Northwest. He
began business in Red Wing. Mimi, in
1886, and has resided in that city ever
since. When the firm was organized,
about six years ago, the factory was re-
moved to st. Paul, and Mr.. Foot still
has charge, while maintaining his resi-
deuce in the less pretentious munich
pality where in company with his part
ner (Mr. Sterling) he made a success of
what was supposed at the time to be
doubtful business venture. What seems
to have led to his success more than any
other single thing was that he did good
work, and his customers soon learned
tnat they could depend upon the quail
ity of whatever goods came from e. K.
Sterling & Co.'s factory, He still adj
heres to this practice, and the goods
with which his name is associated of
course stand high.
The second partner, Theodore A.
SchulZe, is st. Paul boy. having lbeen
born in this city. He left the employ OF
Lindekes. Warner & Schumacher, for
whom he had been travelling salesman
for several years, to join this firm. He
has charge of the selling department,
and Is superintendent of the travelling
statesmen. His extensive personal ac-
quaintance and high standing with the
trade throughout the Northwest fit
him admirably for the position he fills.
Gustaye L. Schumacher, who may be
called "a st. Paul pioneer, having re-
sided in the city since 1854, is the finan-
cial manager of the firm. He is now,
as he has been for many years, one of
our Leading citizens. and is not only an
active business man, but public-Spir-
tied, and has contributed not little to
the prosperity and growth of st. Paul.
Constantine Heinrich is a gentleman
well known in business circles III this
city and vicinity. He has been engaged
in the shoe trade for upwards of quar-
ter OF century, and now does the buy
ing for the firm.
The trade of this firm extends over
wide eXpanSe of country, reaching from
Michigan to the Pacific coast, and from
Kansas to the international boundary.
They pay particular attention to the
class of travelling men employed by
them, and have the ability to chose
worthy men, as will be seen from the
list of the names of the men whom they
keep OH the road These are as follows:
Robert Item. G. II. Williams, j. E.

are all well known to the trade through
out the Northwest, and have the re-
spect and esteem of their patrons. The
firm employ besides about 300 men

George Benz & Sons play no unim-

extends TO the Pacific ocean. The firm
was first established in 1865, or during the
war. +. A. REM, who had served his
onstituency as county treasurer and
again as city treasurer. added is brains
to the firm. and this was an impetus that
has aided in placing George Benz & Co.
as one of the first in the West. But he
sold out his interest to q. g. Becht
shortly after, and the papers recorded
Mai. BechtS death in 1878. This all
necessitated a change. In 1881 to 1884 j.
Haggenmi.ler and w. f. Hachmann
were partners. Then in May. 1887. the
firm was recognized, and the style be-
came George Benz 81 Sons by the addi-

this time the concern removed to their
present locationY217 and PIG East Third

This house employs five travelling

state contributes to its reputation and
possibly to its extensive business. The
