One of the oldest business establish
ments of Los Angeles is that of Clark
Brothers-Messrs. w. e. and B. w.
Clark-dealers in coal (both blacksmith
and domestic), wood hay, grain, coke
(gas and foundry, charcoal, twine bags,
etc. This firm has been doing business
here since 1892. and it now has an i'm
mense trade, the largest probably in its
lines in Los Angeles. Its business is
located at 1249 Figueroa street, where its
main wholesale yards and sheds cover a
space 2O0X300 feet in dimensions. 1t en-
ploys twenty-five men and runs twelve
wagons. 1t does both a wholesale and re-
tail business, it's speciality being carload
lots. though it supplies city customers at
retail as cheaply, if not more so, than any
other similar establishment does or can.
Their wholesale hay and grain yards are
at East Seventh street and Santa Fe
railroad tracks. The Messrs. Clark, like
most large merchants, began in COM
paratively small way, and by close at
tention to and study of their business
their trade grew and expanded to its
present proportions, and promises to be-
come still greater in volume. ANYTHING
in these lines that may be desired they
have; they sell it at a reasonable price,
and in qualities to suit, either wholesale
or retail, for they have a separate yard
for each of these species OF trade. They
will deliver promptly either in carload or
wagon load lots or less, and customers al
ways get exactly what they order. Their
well-earned reputation in this respect is
one thing that has made this firm leader
in its line in Southern California. Phones
