Atkins adding to his former business that
IF wholesale dealer in shirts and overalls,
Mr.. G. w. Atkins was appointed whole
sale agent for Delaware for the sale of
these articles. In the discharge of this |
duty he has been successful in building |
up a good trade. When not engaged in |
this business, he is travelling through con-
tiguous States introducing his patent
buggy top, in which line his success has
been equal to his anticipations. On MIR.
Atkins retirement as manager of the
store, Mr.. James Mason assumed that po-
sition and has full charge of that empor-
ium. He buys all the clothing, boots and
shoes, dry goods, and, in fact, everything
that is needed in their line. He also
5 lpervises the sale of the same. He is
assisted by handy clerks, among whom
we may mention Mr.. George Porter,
fat, fair and forty" Porter always has
a smile upon his countenance, is always
in good humor, and was never known to
get in a passion. On entering the store
one sees the portly form of Porter loom
ing up, and the conclusion is, he is a
well fed man. The dry goods and notion
department are presided over by Miss
Maggie Ellingsworth, charming bru-
nette, and these departments with their
display windows are metamorphosed and
rearranged whenever the sameness be
cones too apparent. There are several
"extras" who are called in to further as
sist Mr.. Mason on busy days. The pro
prietor, owing to his multiform business
in various parts of the county, as we'll as
at Milton, is busy exercising general
supervision of the whole; this, together
with his voluminous correspondence &C
