The Philadelphia Journal of Commerce
of last week contains splendid write up of
the we'll known firm of Jenkins & Smith,
stock and grain brokers of Pittsburgh. The
firm lately moved from SS3 Fourth Avenue,
to 4Io-4Is Smiih6sld Street.
The firm is certainly to be congratulated
on having secured such desirable Offices in
the very heart of the business section.
They handle stocks, bonds, grain, provisions
and local securities, buying and selling on
from one to five point margins at the discre-
ton of patrons. They have private wires to
New York and Chicago and thus have every
facility for obtaining the latest correct mar
ket reports.
The jenkins part Of the firm is Preston
county product, Mr.. T.. Il. Jenkins, son of
VIM. NJ. jenkins, of the Jenkins House,
Kingwood. The young man is well known
here and has many friends and relatives
in this county who arc glad to know of his
success.
