1T is THE OLDEST

And Does the Largest Business
Throughout the Northwest.
The first commission business estab-
lished in st. Paul, and one which to-
day is known throughout the Northwest,
is that of B. Presley & Co., of 102 East
Third. The business conducted is that
OF wholesale fruit and commission. and
was established by Mr.. B. Presley
in little board shanty away
back in lS49. st. Paul was
then mere trading station
with population that could almost be
numbered on your fingers. The mag
nficent store building now occupied by
the firm is Oh the same site as that of
the primitive shanty which saw the
beginnings of the present man.
moth business now transacted by
Presley had various gentlemen
in partnership with him during
his lifetime up to the spring of 1880,
when j. S. Robertson bought an inter-
est. Col. Robertson assumed the full
ownership and management af the firm
at the death of Mr.. Presley in 1885.
Under his skillful management and ap-
titude the business of the firm
has yearly exhibited most healthy
growth. The trade transacted during
the season of 1890 nearly doubled
that of any previous year, and indica-
tions point to a similar increase of the
business of 1891 over that OF 1890. The
business shows turnover of Sl,000,000
for this year, and, to demonstrate the
ramifications of this establishment, it
may be stated that in the season the
firm handled daily from two to three
cars of strawberries. The city may be
said to have grown round the estab-
lishment of Messrs. 3. Presly q Co.
as it was the first building OH Third
street. They are agents for the Cali
fornia Fruit union, the Florida Fruit
exchange and many Southern and East
ern shipping associations. 1t is UNI
eQuaIed in the Northwest for it's capa-
city for handling business in its own
special line. They have not only the
largest city trade, but 1t extends from
/. Wisconsin and Iowa to Montana and
Manitoba.
Col. j. S. Robertson, who has largely
been instrumental in building up the
business of the firm, came TO st. Paul in
the fall of 1879, and, as before stated,
bought an interest therein the following
spring. He had previously been inter
ested in the business in Baltimore. Col.
Robertson possesses rare business abiIi-
ties; is full of perseverance, and a
highly progressive citizen.
