Tennessee Wholesale Grocery Co.
with headquarters in Martin. are
now owners of the assets and bust
ness heretofore conducted by the
coble-Walker Grocery Company in
| Union City. The sale and transfer
was made this week. The branch
house will continue in Union City
as heretofore with E B. Little as
manager. The letter above is ex-
| planatory.
The West Tennessee Wholesale
Grocery Co. is a wide-awake enter
prising concern. The business was
established at Martin in July. 1902.
and while it has been in operation
five years only, four other wholesale
grocery companies have sold to them
as follows: The Hass-Lieber Gro
Gerry Co., of Hickman. a st. Louis
firm; Noble. OVERLY Grocery Co.. of
Martin, a Paducah firm; the Hardy
Little Grocery Co., of Union City,
and now the Coble- Walker Grocery
Co. of the same city. all of which
were composed of strong financial
and reliable business men.
These facts point to the success
which has been accomplished by the
West Tennessee Grocery Co 1t
demonstrates the ability of these
men to comprehend and meet the
demands of the trade, and their
enterprise in the business. 1t shows
that they have made satisfactory
prices and sold reliable goods. 1t
is a source of pride to our city to
call attention to the business pluck
and push of the company, and we
are glad to see our merchants pat
ronize them so generously. 1t is
right that they should do so. 1t is
a home company. composed of home
people, and there is every reason
in the world why you. should pat
ronize them if they sell the same
class of goods at the same prices
asked by foreign or city jobbers. It
is decidedly better to keep the
money IN circulation here at home
when you can do as well or better
trading with home people. These
are not empty assertions, but are
facts. Freights can be saved BY
trading at home, and errors adjust
ed more easily and satisfactory with
the home dealer. 1t is safe motto
to patronize home enterprise and
keep the money as much as pos
sible in circulation among your own
people.
