The W. W. Brookner Company

A mining camp situated as is Globe,
far from the sources of supply.
demands the very best in the way of
goods, and quantities of them. A stock
must be diversified to meet the de-
mands of the purchasing public in the
district, and w w. Brookner recog-
nizing this through years of experience
has built up trade that extends all
over the district. He includes miners,
prospectors, teamsters and the general
public among his customers, and in
the commodious building which he occu-
pies has placed stock which is COM
pete in every important detail.
In addition to the fine modern corner
building which he occupies 25xl00 feet
in dimensions, with Is foot ceilings and
a basement running the entire length
of the building-he is obliged to keep
surplus stock in two different stores or
warehouses. The stock consists of an
extensive line of staple and fancy gro
ceries, and he does a large trade with
the mines in this particular line.
Miners boots and shoes as well as dress
shoes for women and children are car
ried in large assortment of styles and
sizes. The other side of the salesroom
is occupied by dry goods, novelties
and furnishings conspicuously displayed
in an attractive manner, while his stock
of hats meets all requirements of this
section-sufflce to say they are of
standard quality and union made. In
this department is a we'll selected line
tories Of the best known manufactur-
ers.
The W. w. Brookner Company was
Incorporated August 3lst, 1901, w. w.
Brookner being the president and gen.
eral manager, and S. c. Sayler, vice
president and secretary. They started
the business together as partners and
had been associated since 1886 as en-
ployees of local store before entering
business on their own account. Very
recently James Ewing became a stock
holder in the company and has actively
interested himself in the business.
The w. w. Brookner Company is
recognized as one of Globes Leading
wholesale and retail general msrchan-
dlse houses, and has built up its ex
tensive trade by fair and honorable
dealing, and patrons are given the
advantage attaching to a general out
fitting business. Buying in quantities
and, where practical, IN car lots, there
by securing valuable reductions on
large bills and better freight rates,
this enables them to quote the lowest
market prices and it is an opportunity
they never overlook or undervalue, for
they realize that successful competition
is doing better for your customers than
others do.
Already they are contemplating NOV
ing into new and more commodious
quarters to allow opportunity for the
further expansion of their business
and have a centrally located corner in
view. Mr.. Brookner is justly entitled
to being numbered among Globes pio-
neers, having arrived in the camp a
quarter of century ago-long before
the advent of a railroad. He halls
from Dixon, Illinois, where he was
born and raised, coming west while
still in his teens. He has been identi-
fed with the best interests of the camp
since his arrival, and has served his
county as treasurer in 1890 and is the
present incumbent. His business car
reer in the district has been marked by
an evident desire to serve the people
while serving himself, and he is univer-
sally esteemed for his commercial
integrity and personal worth.
