Stores Established All Along
the Santa Fe Central.
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Before Coming to the Territory the
Dunlavy Brothers Were General
Merchants in Trinidad.

With stores established at the San
Ia Fe Central towns of Kennedy, Nor
iarty, Estancia, Willard Progreso and
Torrance, and another at the town OF
Hagan in the coal fields in Sandoval
county, the Dunlavy Mercantile com
Iany has come to the Territory OF
New Mexico to stay. F. e. Dunlavy,
the general manager of the company,
and his brother, ]. p Dunlavy, assist
ant general manager, with headquar-
tiers at the principal warehouses il
Torrance, together with another broth
er Melvin T. Dunlavy, who is still IN
Trinidad, Colo, were engaged in the
general merchandise business, both
wholesale and retail, in Trinidad for
the past seventeen years.
With such business experience, it
is safe to predict that the Dunlavy
Mercantile company has not only
come to say, but that the firm will
meet with success in the Territory,
and along the line of the Santa Fe
Central, both as jobbers and retailers.

at the present lime sending out the
following communication through the
various channels of trade:
