NOTABLE CHANGE IN
DRY GOODS STORE
Mir. Frank s. Emmert Admits His Son
Allen into Partnership Store
is 80 Years Old.
From The world OF Tresoay:

A notable business change took
blace here yesterday when Mr.. Allen
X. Emnert was admitted as a part
ner in his fathers drygoods business
the style Of the firm now being Frank
S Emmert & Son. The policy of the
81 ore Will be in the future as in the
past along those progressive and up
to.date lines that have made II one OF
the leading factors in Martinsburg's
commercial life.
The junior member or the firm is
admirably equipped by education and
experience to become a partner in his
fathers extensive mercantile business,
while his attractive personality will
contribute not little to his success
az a merchant. So the new firm be-
gins the new year under the most fav-
cradle conditions.
This is the oldest drygoods estab-
lishment in continual existence In
Martinsburg. It dates from 1872 when
the firm was Emmert & Fiery and
the store was located in the Minghini
Building, where the store of the Berke
ley Installment Co. Is. The partners
then were Isaac Emmert and Benz.
Fiery, the senior being the father Of
Mr.. Frank S. Emmert who, at that
time and for some years subsequent
ly, was clerk in the store. At the
death of Mr.. Emmert his son became
partner in the business, the firm
name continuing as Emmert & Fiery
until 1897 when Mr.. Dmmert bought
his partners interest and the firm
changed to Frank S. Emmert ard has
so remained to the present time. 1t
may be stated here that Mr.. Fiery
died nearly ten years ago. Mf. EN-
inert, senior. has been in business in
the present building on North Queen
street since the fall of 1887.
