has shipped goods as far south as Cuba,
and northward to New Hampshire
His place OF business being next to the
horse bazaar and near the wholesale mar
kets. he receives much patronage from the
country folks who come here to sell their
produce. The upbuilding Of this business Is
an example of what can be accomplished by
a young man possessed of energy, ability
and uprightness, and whose course is char
acterized by fair dealings with all.
Mr.. Cogswell was born in Alexandria, Va,
thfrty-three years ago He went from
there to Baltimore in his ooyhood, and re-
ceived his education in the latter city He
came to Washington about twenty years
ago. and has since resided here. Before

ployed by Stabler Co., whose harness
business he purchased as a nucleus for his
present house.
In connection with his establishment Mr.
Cogswell has a well-equipped shop for the
general repairing Of harness and all man
ner Of vehicles, in which none but the
best workmen are employed. To use a
phrase Of the turf. he sometimes '.dabbles

varying in size, but having a decided SINH
larity.
The art room. where pianos, large pic
lures. statuary. ETC., are kept, Is on the
first floor. and besides being thoroughly
ventilated, an even temperature Is main
tanned in this room during the winter
months to insure against any possible in

Next, a special room Is fitted for the stor-
age of trunks and luggage. This room i'm
mediately joins the ladies' waiting room,
thereby af1ording every convenience to
those who. having goods stored, desire to
examine them. Burglar proof vaults for
silverware and valuables are also to be had
The company has in its employ large
force of reliable. expert men for packing
furniture china. bric-a-brac, etc, and
shipments are received and forwarded to
foreign countries or to any city in the
United States. The large moving vans are in
charge of careful and experienced men.
A very handsome little booklet, entitled

terested in storage packing or shipping can
secure one for the asking.
