sXTY.sIx YEARS 'AS A GROCERY
STORE.

"In March. this year, begins the sixty
sixth year Of the continuous occupation Oh
No Al Vesey street as a grocery store.
"What q long time TO look forward to ana
what short time to look back at the
busv man does not feel the time slipping
away: his mind is occupied with the details
OF his business.
Looking back at my connection with the
store as boy and man. what memories OF
friends long since gone 70 their reward 1t
brings up; what changes have taken place
i'm the city of New York and in the grocery
business since No. Al Vesey street was
opened as a grocery >store I'm March, lSi5?
The continuous occupation OF any store in
this city in one business for sixty-siX years
is something which arouses interest in the
memories Of many. especially of old people,
who. when they were children, accompanied
their parents to purchase groceries ana
meats in the then most prominent thor
oughfare devoted to the business of the
city"
L. ]. Callahan, whose words are quoted
above. is without doubt the best known
man I'm the grocery business in New York.
His start was modest. At first he had an
interest in the firm Of Peter Lynch & Co.
Later under the firm name of Callahan &
Kemp. the firm prospered until Mr. Gala
nan began his Independent career as
grocer which has eliminated in his present
prosperous business. Since he opened his
doors at No Al Vesey street mo. Al" has
been celebrated as his trademark, and has
become synonymous with excellence In
wholesale and retail family groceries, wines,
liquors and cigars.
The big establishment is in every way
calculated TO impress any one who enters
it. There IS a splendid showroom. GO feet
wide by so feet deep we'll lighted and we'll
arranged in every particular. Generous
supplies of merchandise. bearing the stamp
Of the newest and the best, are everywhere
arranged to the best possible advantage.
over all this tempting display, which has
kept up to the mark for so many years, the
quick intelligence and undimnished energy
Of L. j. Callahan are still in active super
vision.
Personally L. j. Callahan combines kind
liness with broad common sense, and the
most up-to-date shrewdness with the ter
ling qualities and legitimate methods Of the
old-fashioned business man. He is public
spirited and philanthropic. He is interested
I'm clean politics. and in "Callanan's Maga-
zine" a monthly periodical. which he pub
fishes himself. he expresses admirably sane
views on questions Of government and
equity His great recreation is yachting,
and his chief delight is I'm entertaining in
this manner congenial parties Of friends.

The cable became possible through the

telegraphy across the Atlantic was estab-
