NEW QUARTERS | OF TWO FIRMS
I. A, Hughes and Tester & Hicks to Occupy Ground
 Floor in Allen Block.

The large and handsomely finished
 ground floor in the Allen building, for
 merly occupied by the Wave confect
 ionery and cafe, has been refitSed and
 taken over by two prominent Bisbes
 firms. each leaders in their line.
 One half of the large room will be
 occupied by the prosperous and grow
 ing mining stock brokerage firm oi
 Tester & Hicks. and the remainder is
 reserved for the real estate and in.
 surance office of MT T. A. Hughes
 Although these two firms will occupy
 this ground floor together, the offices
 will be entirely separate, and each
 business will be conducted independ.
 entiy, as heretofore.
 MT. T. A. Hughes. although in busi-
 ness in this city less than year and
 half. has emphatically made good {"
 and that during a tine when the
 business generally of the city and dis trict was at the lowest ebb 1t has at. tained for many years. Opening his office only a few doors from his pres ent location in February of last year with only two insurance companies, his business has steadily increased until now he represents fifteen of the leading and most reliable insurance companies in the world, and also handles the Bisbee interests of two of the leading bonding and surety com panies of the United States. For the past few months MT. Hughes has done a very large fire insurance business. giving special attention to that branch of his business. His wide and growing acquaintance. and the high esteem in which he Is held by all who meet him assures him still larger prosperity In hia new stand
 Tester & Hicks. who share the new office building with MT. Hughes, is a firm well known in Bisbee and the district and one whose business has also grown rapidly and substantially since It's foundation. They are ex- elusive brokers in mining stocks. and make speciality of the unlisted shares or curbs. The firm has recently inco-- porated, and In their new stand and with their increased facilities will be able to give even better service to their many customers. They are mov- ing from an office on the second floor of the Antlers' building, which they have outgrown, finding a second-foor location too inconyenient and inacces- sible for their many customers. The handsome business sign of the firm on the plate glass front of their new loca- tion is attractive and in keeping with enterprise and energy of the firm. In addition to the added facilities and convenience of their new main office. the firm has established a connection at the office of Cunningham & Ritter, in the Lowell branch of the Bisbee Drug company, and also at Warren, in Hanscomb's office. The steady growth of the business of Messrs. Tester & Hicks during a time when even old firms were glad to merely hold their own, speaks volumes for the energy and capacity oS these gentle men. and with the revival of prosperity in the mining industry, evidences of which are even now obvious, the firm will doubtless become one of the lead CTS in this section in their line. They have earned the entire confidence of all who have done business with or through them, and all who know them feel assured that business entrusted to them in the future will receive the same painstaking and conscientious attention that they have given to com r.
