prominence in all matters of public en-
terprise, and whose record for integ
rity energy and industry make them
objects of special note, not alone in
their homes. but wherever exalted
commercial reputation is recognized
and respected. There are few men now
engaged in business in this town who
have been more conspicuously associat
ed with its mercantile interests than

trade that carries more ample stock ;
or any whose facilities in the general
store trade surpass that of this estab

mcnt of dry goods, gents furnishing
