COVE & Richardaon


.sSince 1884, and record for super
iority in goods and the most honorable
methods in all their transactions with
manufactures and customers is fully APP
plicable to the well known firm of
Coyle & Richardson, This great mer-
camille house will celebrate its twenty
ninth birthday in July. and well may its
distinguished proprietors feel proud Of
the occasion, for such q career comes
to but few during this life Coyle &
Richardson are an ideal firm in more
ways than one. In the first place the
friendship existing between Mr.. G F.
Coyle and Mr.. ]. Lynn Richardson is
Damon and Pythias like IN its beautiful
devotion, the two having begun their
business careers togetheEin dry goods
store, way back in the early seventies
and having entered business as partners
in 1878 at Winchester. In 1884 they
came to Charleston and established the
business which now holds place among
the largest and highest class dry goods
stores in the state, and which is one Of
the genuine prides of the people of the
Capitol City. They moved into the
present store at the corner of Lee and
Capitol streets in 1908. having COM
pIeted the magnificent building of six
stories, which bears their name, during
that year. The first three floors and
basement of this building. which is so
by 115s feet in Dimensions. is occupied
by the dry goods firm, and the three
remaining floors are modernly arranged
in suites for Offices and are occupied by
leading firms of the city, This build
ing is one of the most elegant in the
city, and is most creditable to its build
ers. Tn stock carried by Coyle &
Richardson is one that is not to be dis
counted in any store in the country.
and SO splendid are it's facilities for
supplying the highest class of trade
that Charleston ladies do not have to
seek the larger cities to make their
purchases, but rather ladies from the
surrounding country are attracted here
to do their shopping. The service in this
store is all that can be desired. from 35
to 40 of the most expert salespeople be-
ing employed to look after wants of
customers The proprietors are both
prominent in the higher walks of life
in Charleston and most highly regarded
iii the community and state.-Kanawha
Citizen.
I'VE feel sure that our readers will
be interested in the foregoing tribute
to splendid firm MIR. Coyle is ma
tive and has many relatives and a host
of friends in jefferson. Editor
