and his brother, Il. S., put in 4
stock of general merchandise
and began their business career.
In 1875 Z. S. Boulware retired
and j. M. Johnson bought his in :
terest SO the business was con-
tinued to prosper under the firm
of Boulware E& Johnson. In
In 1876 Mr. Johnson conc luded
that he was not making a fort
nne fast enough and sold his in.
terest to r. Y. Sullivan and
then the business began to
'Kourish under the name of Boul-
ware d Sullivan. At that time
the village and business had
prospered and grown to such ex.
tent that Monroe could be call
ed town. From 1872 under
the different frm names until
1882 the business was transact
ia the old frame block now
known as the Z. & M. Bank
lbrick) block. at that time the
large commodious brick, now oc-
cupied by Williamson g. Rags
dale was erected and they
moved into it with S25, OO9
stock of dry goods. clothing,
boots and shoes. In 1885 r. V.
Sullivan retired to take the
world easy, then the house was
known as Boulware & Company
for two years Then came an
other change, it was A. Boui-
ware, straight, in the McCarty
block with stock of dry goods,
notions, carpets, curtains, boots
and shoes, stock valued at
S7, 500. The block and con
tents was destroyed by fire the
night of gan. the 30th. That

While engaged in that labor he
was busy preparing to enter
business again He purchased
the A. Knox lot on South Main

one of the finest business houses
IN North Missouri. 1t has brick
side walls, beautiful steel
front and rear, plate glass show
window 96X146 inches, tile en-
trance, lovely steel ceiling,
pretty chandeliers and is as
finely lighted room as there is
in the State. The mammoth
show window is backed with
three large mirrors. The fur
niture fixtures aud everything
in the interior is in good taste.
With the new house aud new
$15 600 stock Of Boots and Shoes
came one more change in the
style of the title Of the firm.
Fresh, yO1ng, energetic blood
was injected into the business
April 2, 1899. The new firm is
'Boulware & Son. Thomas M.
Bouiware was born in the vil-
lage Of Monroe 81 years ago
and now he proposes to stay
with his native village, the vil-
lage that has eutstripped all Of
