CROSS, KELLY & Co.
Incorporated Wholesale Grocers and
Wool Dealers.

The wholesale grocery and wool
business conducted by Gross, Kelly &
Co., now the largest dealers in these
lines in the southwest, had its inoep-
ton in the early 70s and was founded
by Otero, Sellar & Co. This firm was
succeeded, in 1879. by Gross, Blackwell
& Co., and January /. of the present
year. the above company was organ
lied and incorporated to succeed to
the business.
The officers and directors of the new
company are w. H. Kelly, president;
Jacob Gross, vice president; George
Arnot, secretary; G. G. Robbins, treas
urer; o. B. Earickson and Donald
Stewart, who are the sole stockhold-
ers, and all of whom, save Mr.. Arnot,
who manages the albuquerque house,
and Mr.. Stewart, who has charge Of
the Tucumcari business, are residents
of Las Vegas.
The company has establishments at
Albuquerque, at East Las Vegas, at
Glorieta, and, under the title of the
Gross & Richards company, at Tucum-
Carl The personnel of the Gross,
& Richards company is the same as
that of Gross, Kelly & Co., with the ex-
ception of the fact that Gov. De For
rest Richards, of Wyoming. Is a mem
Der. This firm will ultimately estab-
llsh another house on the Rock Island,
though the location is not at present
determined.
The Albuquerque house of Gross,
Kelly & Co., formerly occupied the
site on which the Alvarado nov stands
and temporarily the business is con-
fined to four warehouses which the
company has rented just across the
tracks from the hotel. In the near fu-
ture, as soon as the Santa Fe Railway
company vacates the proposed site, a
handsome store and warehouse of mis-
sion architecture, corresponding to
that of the Alvarado, will be built. The
structure will be $50 feet in length,
and the store part, which will be S0x
100 feet in dimensions, will be two
stories in height and will have a base
mem under all.
Gross, Kelly & Co carry everything
demanded by the trade, and buy exclu-
sively from first hands In carload lots.
1t would be futile to enumerate the
brands of goods carried without in
v~entorying the stock, but mention may
be made of the following lines for
which the company has exclusive
agencies:
