Oates, Scoble & Co.

Among the business changes which
have been inaugurated in the past six
months in Globe the succession of the
firm of Oates, Scoble & Co. to the gro
Gerry business of j. H. Morehead is
deserving of special mention. The
business of this popular grocery house
was started by Mr.. Morehead in 1902
and was conducted by him until H. P.
Oates purchased a twJ-thirds interest
and his partner, Fred Scobel, ont-
third interest in the business.
The salesroom occupied by the firm
is located on Broad street in the bust
ness center of the town, and is, in
point of stock and display, one of the
most attractive, as well as the only
exclusive grocery and delicatessen store
in Globe. Everything in the line of
canned and bottled goods, staple and
fancy groceries, teas, coffees. provis-
ions and delicatessen is carried in end
less variety, and the stock is purchased
with view of supplying the best fam
lily trade in the camp. Fruits and
vegetables are received fresh by ex-
press every day, of which most
attractive display is seen in the win
dows daily, and a nice line to be added
soon is the celebrated Ferndale brand
of preserves, canned goods, fruits, ETC.
Both Mr.. Oates and Mr. Scoble under
stand catering to the housewives of
Globe, and their success has demon
strated that Globe was waiting for an
exclusive grocery house conducted
along the present lines. Goods are
bought in quantities in the cheapest
market and are sold on small margin
of profit The firm runs delivery
wagon for the accommodation of its
trade and it is interesting to note that
the same has doubled within the past
three months.

Solomon & Wickersham

Among the progressive business
houses of Globe is the Wholesale grocery
house of Solomon & Wickersham, with
headquarters at Stafford. While the
local house has been opened but two
years the firm is one of the oldest in the
eastern part of Arizona, and the larg-
est and most successful in this portion
of the territory, the house having been
established at Bowie, Arizona, over
twenty-five years ago. The founders
of the firm, Messrs Solomon and Wick
ersham are pioneers of the ella valley,
and have since their advent into bust
ness and financial circles in the terri
tory made their presence ielt for the
good of the entire county and district.
The business has been annually ex-
panding, and their reputation for fair
and honorable dealing extending. Ever
alert to the opportunities afforded, the
founders of this great mercantile bust
ness have become prominent as the
organizers of the ella Valley Bank &
Trust company. with branches in Cliff
ton, Morenci. Globe. and headquarters
at Solomonville, named after the found
err of the town and the mercantile
house.
The local business of the firm of Sol
ONION & Wickersham is in charge of
E. B. Order, who has been identified
with the house for number of years.
A complete stock of both staple and
fancy groceries are carried and the
firm does an extensive and growing
business with the retail establishments
of the camp and district

Sultan Brothers

Measured by the extent of the terri
tory covered by its trade as we'll as the
magnitude of the stock carried and the
business done, this is one of the most
important mercantile enterprises in
ella county. The business was estab-
lished over twenty years ago by Louis
Sultan, father of the present owners.
The stock carried is one Of the largest
and most complete in the camp and
embraces dry goods, groceries and pro
ions, sold at wholesale and retail
The grocery department. is well arranged
in the rear of the dry goods depart
m n the latterst )ck including blankets,
beddlng, clothing and furnishings, while
a complete line of crockery, glassware.
hardware and tinware and general sup
plies is carried. A special feature is
made of saddles, s.ha.) IS and everything
in the saddlery and harness line, while
tents. tarpaulins. flies and camping
outfits ar, to be cbtainel in endless
variety.
As evidence of the Sultan Brothers
ability to meet the prices of competi-
tors II is sufficient to state they buy
sugar. flour, canned goods, salt and
such supplies in carload lots, and are
possessed of ample capital to buy in
large quantities and for cash, their
customers getting the advantage of the
prices thus obtained.
Two years ago the Sultan Brothers
opened store at Roosevelt, Geo.
Sultan being in charge. Harrey Sultan
manages the local store, while w. S.
Sultan is superintendent of the Copper
Hill mines.

Garrett S. Van Wagenen

G. S. Van Wagenen is native of
the great state of Wisconsin, having
been born IN the year 1841. His youth
was spent in acquiring common school
education and participating in the
homely duties which fell to most boys
OF that age in the young commonwealth
on the shores of Lake Michigan. Being
of an ambitious nature, however, he
was not content with the life of the
quiet little village which had been his
birthplace and shortly after having
attaine his majority he determined to
see the west and its boundless Oppor-
tmities. Accordingly in the '7O's
which marked the beginning of great
progressive era in the Pixies Peak
region of Colorado, young Van Wagenen
arrived in the Centennial state at a
time when the only railroad-the Den
yer & Rio Grande-reached as far south
as Pueblo. From this point he came
overland down through New Mexico to
Silver City, at that time bustling
little silver camp. Here he remained
five years, coming across the range to
tn, present site of Globe in 1877. The
future great copper camp of eastern
Arizona was at that time struggling
little mining town of but a few hun.
bred population living in rude huts and
CT bins adventures like himself who
were destined to become the founda-

L. A. AmirauIt

Among the imposing array of new
buildings now completed or in the course
of construction in Globe, none compare
with the new four story and basement
Hotel Dominion, erected by Messrs.
Gibson, Newman & Hansen, the con-
tract on which was awarded to l.. A.
Amirault, one of the most successful
and prominent contractors in the ter
ritory. A description of the hotel APP
pears elsewhere in these columns.
Mr.. Amirault has finished the Dom
inion from basement to attic in the best
possible manner with the result that
few hotels in the west are so we'll pro-
vided with light, heat, ventilation and
modern sanitary devices. Mr.. Amirault
has been an active factor in contract
ing circles since his advent into the
territory sixteen years ago, having
formerly been in business in Ell Paso,
Texas, although the greater portion of
his time was spent in Arizona and New
Mexico, where he has constructed
many of the most handsome and i'm
posing public and private buildings in
the principal cities. He is largely in
terested in Phoenix realty, and being
impressed with the permanecy of Globe
he is contemplating extensive invest.
ments in realty here. He has beer
appointed superintendent of construc
ton for the new ella county court
house and Jail now in course of con
struction, and is progressive and en-
terprising builder.

means at his disposal, but as well a
discriminating judgment and sharp bust
ness foresight. The management of
the Globe Commercial company buys
altogether from first hands for cash
and in carload lots, except in minor in
stances. The business is conducted
strictly upon the one-price system,
doing considerable jobbing as we'll as
retail business. A child or blind
man can buy as cheaply at this estab-
lishment as the adult in the full pos
session of his faculties.
The Globe Commercial company has
been Incorporated for number of
years and was established even before
its incorporation. John l.. Alexander
is its president and manager, while
Andrew c. Alexander, his brother, is
vice-president and secretary. John l..
Alexander devotes his entire time and
attention to the business of the COM
pany, but withal has, like most of the
successful business men of the camp,
taken deep interest in mining and
numbers among his assets many valua-
BILE claims in various parts of the dis
trict. Among those in which he is
taking an especially active part is the
newly organized American Copper COM
pany with eleven claims, located out on
the head of Mineral creek, within the
same vicinity as the famous Gibson
mine. An article descriptive of the
property appears elsewhere in this
number.

II. P. Wightman

The drug store conducted by H. P.
Wightman is eligibly located in the
busiest part of the town. Besides the
regular line of drugs and chemicals
carried by first-class retail drug store,
he carries full line of patent medi-
cines and number of prepared RENE
dies of his own compounding.
1t has been said that a thorough
knowledge of the business is the best
capital that druggist can have: Mr..
Wightman is certainly capitalist in
This respect. A graduate of the phar-
maceutical department of the celebrated
Northwestern University of Chicago,
Illinois, he is not only scientific pre-
scription pharmacist but a manufacture
ing chemist as well. 1t is proper to
state in this connection that putting up
prescriptions for physicians and their
patients is very important feature of
the business. To this department Mr..
Wightman gives his personal attention,
and the purest and freshest of drugs
are kept in supply to be used in pre-
scriptions. The high cost of freight
and insurance on prepared remedies,
together with the uncertainty of always
getting compounds of the highest
standard of excellence has led him to
manufacture a number of prepared
remedies all of which can be relied
upon as being of the highest purity and
scientifically compounded.
Mr.. Wightman has been engaged in
his present business for the mast thraa
years, having purchased the business
from Z. ID. Roberts. He is interested
in mining to considerable extent,
among his most valuable holdings being
an interest in the Keystone.

mercial company is so closely identified
with that of Globe that the two almost
read as one. Globe had its beginning
in the year 1875, and three years later
the business of this time honored insti-
tuition was inaugurated, to be succeeded
fourteen years later by the Old Domin-
ion Commercial company, which was
Incorporated at that time.
Everything in the way of general
merchandise in demand in this section
is handled and the new store will be
one of the most completely stocked in
the territory.
The banking department has for many
years been a feature of the business
and in the new building the banking
department will offer every convenience
to customers.
The officers of the company include
the following well known gentlemen
Geo. W. P. Hunt, president; N. s
Berray, vice-president; M. c. Kenton
treasurer; A. T. Hammons, cashier

ton of civilization in eastern Arizona.
Working for wages was never part
of young Van Wagenen's program, and
shortly after his arrival he established
himself in the mercantile business, a
pursuit he has continued for twenty
nine years in this town. The shelves
of his store were being continually re-
plenished from the base of supplies,
Pueblo, Colorado, all merchandise COM
ing by freight teams over the old Santa
Fe trail to the Silver City branch, and
from there through the bloody Apache
country to Globe. Many are the thrill
ing incidents Mr.. Van Wagenen can
recall of experiences en- route. Travel
ing by night and sleeping under guard
by day, he made the trip many
times before the advent of the railroad
made it unnecessary.
Mr.. Van Wagenen has devoted him
self ito his business interests almost
exclusively, never seeking political
preferment. In 1856, however, he
was induced to accept the nomination
for county treasurer and tax collector,
and in his case the acceptance of the
nomination meant his election. At the
present time and for many years mr..
Van Wagenen has been assisted by his
son Jack in the management of his
business.

The handsome two-story and base
ment granite block now nearing COM
pletion for the Old Dominion CONNER
cial company will be ready for occu-
pancy by the first of July. The build
ing is one of the most substantial in
the territory, and has frontage of SO
feet on Broad street and depth of
103 feet on Cedar street. The base
ment is large and well lighted and will
be used for storage of surplus stock,
while the ground floor is one of the
most spacious store rooms in the south
west, with 18-foot ceilings, and light
we'll in the center affording an abund-
ance of light in all parts of the first
floor. In the rear,a mezzanine floor ex-
tends across the store, which will be
used for show purposes and salesrooms,
while the upper floor is spacious well
lighted and ventilated room 50x100 feet
and admirably adapted for the display
of dry goods and clothing, which will
occupy the space, while the ground
floor will be devoted to the grocery and
banking departments of the company.

Globe Commercial Co

The history of this big mercantile
establishment runs back to the time
when Globe was but struggling little
mining camp. Its founders, the Alex
ander Brothers, have built up a patron
age among the best class of people in
the district that is constantly increas-
ing and since it's establishment their
place of business has been an acknowl-
edged leader of its line in the camp.
Their stock of general merchandise
is at all times complete buying in
large quantities and, being remote from
the big wholesale centers, they carry an
enormous stock. Time was in Arizona
when a merchant to make business
success needed only capital or credit
suihcient to secure a stock which was
sold off to the residents of the district
at an enormous profit; but in recent
years competition has been so keen
that the merchant who makes signal
success today must needs be able to
undersell competitors, and to do this it
Is necessary to have not only unlimited

Louis Trojanovich

This is one of the newest mercantile
ventures in Globe, and was opened to
the public's patronage but few
months ago, although Mr.. Trojanovich
is one Of the city's most substantial
citizens and has resided here for the
past 10 years. The location of the
store adjoining the Globe Lumber
company's yards most excellent and
a large trade is carried on among the
residents of that portion of the camp.
The building occupied is substantial
and one of the best built stores in
Globe. Commencing in small way
with stock of general merchandise
suited to the needs of the trade, Mr..
Trojanovich has already established a
profitable and rapidly increasing trade.
Louis Trejanovich is brother of
A. Trojanavich, the lumber dealer of
the camp. The two brothers are influ-
entail citizens and are leaders in their
lines in Globe and the district. Fair
and honest business methods and host
of friends gained thereby have made
them among the camps leading
business men.

The Globe jeweIry Company

1t may be truthfully said that in no
other line of business is the average
purchaser more dependent upon the
honesty of the dealer than when buying
fine watch or jewel. Not one man in
twenty knows more of watch than its
external appearance, and the average
purchaser knows even less about prec-
ious stones. How important, then,
that our jewellers should be men of
character and business standing! To
those who know the reputation of the
Globe Jewelry Company it is sufficient
guarantee of workmanship and of hon
Est goods.
Commencing business in this town
but little more than one year ago the
Globe Jewelry Company met with a
generous patronage from its inception,
and have moved into handsomely APP
pointed salesrooms on Broad street
furnished at a great expense Both
members of the company are brothers,
Roland II. Jacobs having for many
years been the travelling representative
of one of the big San Francisco estab-
lishmentS, and he is familiar with this
territory and the requirements of the
trade. His brother, Clarence P. ia
cobs, was also engaged as a travelling
man for number Of years and has had
an extensive experience in this line of
business. They employ an expert and
practical matchmaker and diamond
setter and the superior class of work
turned out in watch repairing has been
the means of bringing them generous
patronage.
The appointments of their establish
ment are handsome and the place might
well do credit to more metropolitan
town than Globe. That the Jacobs
b,others made no mistake in coming to
Globe is apparent.

of affairs. Quiet and unassuming, vet
shrewd and tactful, he has a capacity
for solving Alright the business prob
lens of an eventful career, and his un-
