BOYLE BROS. Il CO., HARDWARE

BOYLE BROS. Il CO., HARDWARE
In 1908 Neil Boyle came here
from Loveland, COL, and in comp.
any with his brother Ed and r.
n. West, started in the hardware
business under the firm name of
Boyle Bros. & West. They first
opened in the building now occu-
pied by the Idaho Lumber Co.
as IN Office, and at the same time
started the erection of the build
ing they now occupy, at the cor
ner of Bridge and Taylor streets.
The business grew apace. Each
member of the firm was. a hustler,
a business getter and a business
builder. They continued in pros
perity under the same firm name
until a year ago when Mr.. West
sold out his interest, retiring to
private life, and the name was
changed to Its present form of
Boyle Bros. e. Co. Valentine
Volly) Van Bramer, who has
been with them since the business
started, and the late Frank Was
ley, who entered their employ
soon afterward, were able lieuten-
ants, and the business has become
SO extensive hat the whole force,
supplemented by Robert Eaton,
has for some time scarcely had
the rest that would seem neces-
sary. General repairing, tin
work, plumbing, steam and. furn-
ace heating and pump work have
occupied their energies. The
American Falls Canal Go. the
Sugar Factory and the Asylum
have called on their time early
and late. Most of the time dur
ing the past year the back shop
work has been sadly neglected on
account of the demand of out
side work and The impossibility of
securing further competent help.
However, their retail department
has been ably handled by"Volly"
and the large business they do in
the retail line is we'll attested by
the enormous shipments of goods
hey receive. In volume of trade
his firm has few if any competi-
:ors. At present they are calling
he attention of the farmers and
gardeners to their new and CON- {
olete line of seeds and planting
Utensils, as will be seen from their
on the front page of this pa G
,er. This firm is bound to keep r
climbing and they have the c
'est wishes of all who know them. G
