ing been made many Inquiries, we desired
an impartial opinion, and are satisfied that
the following is founded upon reason and
well reflected.

tive mode of conducting the business, have
made it prominent. John Z. Augur possess
es quick Judgment. l have always found
him equal to the emergency. In raising the
tea, coffee and spice standard he has done
much to advance the commercial interests
of the city. Purity and quality in his goods
has been an important factor in his sue

der. Mr.. Augur has made himself what he
is to-day He Is very ambitious. Possess
ing ample means, it is remarkable how ac-
fortunate for him that he possesses
strong physical structure, and such a pow
erful constitution. He is remarkably me-
thOdical and reaches his place of business
each day at the minute. The noteworthy
events as TO this enterprise are:
"1st-The establishment Of the Business
in 1876.
2nd-The withdrawal of William P. Tut
tie, now assistant postmaster, on his fifth
year, in 1889. Mr.. futile was well known
in the tea. coffee and spice business and
was considered an expert. He is Il man of
great business sagacity, whose advice is

l understand that the most pleasant rela-
tions have always existed between Mr.. Au-
CUR and Mr.. futile.
3rd-The introduction of the Ceylon Java
and Mocha Coffee in 1897. The department
devoted to coffees with the Burns Patent
Rooster. leaves nothing to be desired and
possesses every. facility. This famous
brand Is put up in a very telling manner;
indeed, the package is the finest that ever
came under my observation, having been
brought out some two years ago. learn
that the spices are in the same style of
package, and that In the treatment of
spices, cream tarter, mustard, baking
powder, ETC., the greatest care is exercised,
and a standard reputation secured, and no
one understands the requirements Of the
consumer better than John Augur. The ia
nous trade mark Crescent Mills has made
a great record. The tea department should
be mentioned in this connection, having
from the very first, as that of coffee. shown
great strength, and this has more than been
sustained BY the proprietor, who has stud
led carefully all the intricacies and nice
distinctions in judging of the fragrant leaf.
In teas he is so nice judge that his abii-
ty Is frequently tested, not only as to his
own house, but by others. If ne has su-
perior in this nice article, and if such
man can be named in New Haven, bring
him forth. / know that Mr.. Augur is very
modest, and this opinion is entirely volun-
tary on my part.
'4th-The infusion Of young blood into
the brsiness when Frank P. Augur, son of
the proprietor, gave his services in 1892.
The future. of this house undoubtedly
looked to this young man, and a better Sc
lection could not have been made. He has
labored untiringly, believing that enter
prise and industry will win their way and
that honesty is the best policy. While re-
spected by all that know him, and having
brought by popularity many customers to
the house, he possesses, combined with re-
narkable Judgment for his years, a phe-
nomenal memory, which has been invalu-
able. not only to him, but to the house.
He Is to-day regarded as one of the most
able, among the younger element interest

John 7; Augur was born in New Haven
In 1914. His first important business ex-
perience after attending the public schools
and valuable knowledge, secured in Office
work, etc, was with Coburn & Co., in 1867.
This was ct that time the leading house In

admitted to partnership. Mr.. Augur, af-
forwards, IN conjunction with Mr.. Tuttle,
established the business now under consid-
eration.
Said great leading mind and we'll
known as a member Of the Chamber of
Commerce: II embrace with pleasure the
P. Augur. know that it has been an az
ION with him that the tea. coffee and
spice business Of New Haven should be on
par in quality with that of any city in
the world, ana no enort should be on his
part too much to sustain this reputation.
At the age Of 5S Mr.. Augur is in every
way as young as most men that are ten
years his Junior. His resemblance to
Austin, Nichols of New York, head of the
greatest wholesale grocery house in the
world, y Is startling. When Mr.. futile
withdrew from the business thirteen
years ago, not d doubt was expressed as to
Its future. and 1 understand that each
year has shown decided Increase. The

their effective service. should be referred
