DUNN g. DAILY.

One OF the Oldest, most substantial
and successful business houses in the
city of Bryan is the wholesale and
retail liquor house of Dunn & Daily
established here in 1875, and which
has been leading enterprise from its
foundation until the present time, and
which formerly did the most extensive
Wholesale business OF any like estab-
lishment In this part of Texas.
Capt. John DAILY of this firm is a
pioneer citizen Of this city, having re-
sided here continuously since 1875,
and for nearly four decades has been
one of the leading, most substantial
and successful business men OF the
city OF Bryan. From the early days,
when this city was small village
having nothing but the most primitive
wooden buildings on its principal
street he has been an interested spec
tator throughout its varying vicissi-
tudes and successes to the browning
years OF its greatness and permanent
prosperity. From his earliest connec-
ton with the city until today there
has never been a citizen residing here
who had at all times the abiding con-
fdence in its ultimate success and
future prestige as did Captain DAILY,
and no man contributed more capable,
well directed labor and intelligent eff
fort to the advancement of the city
than that characterizing his constant
championship OF all public measures
for the advancement OF every public
interest. In the most essential and
prime necessity for the upbuilding OF
any modern city or country, the con-
struction and maintenance Of good
thoroughfares and public roads, no
citizen OF this section has been more
ardent supporter and unceasing advo-
cate than has Captain DAILY. In his
extensive travels the principal feature
of his observations and study has been
the highways OF different countries,
from a comparative standpoint Of the
advantages derived from them by com
munities in which they exist, and FROM
long and intelligent investigation OF
that important subject has become
convinced that substantial and perma
nent thoroughfares bring the rural dis
tricts to the city, and prove the per
manent salvation and success of any
country. Since coming to Bryan Cap
tain DAILY has reared family of chill
dren, all of whom have now about
reached the age of maturity, and
whose training has been such as to
make them valuable citizens in any
community where they may cast their
lots. Captain DAILY began business
without capital or advantageous finan
cial backing, but his superior natural
abilities and efficient business meth
DDS have resulted in marked success
and the accumulation of a com
potency.
The firm carries a large stock OF
the finest imported and domestic
wines, liquors, and cigars in this part
of the State, and has an extensive
line OF trade which the long years OF
its business career has attracted and
which It still retains. The DAILY build
ing, in which this business is located,
was Originally a one-story building,
erected in 1879, to which, in 1890, a
second story was added.
The city of Bryan is proud to mum
Der among its leading public spirited
men citizens like Captain DAILY, pos
sessing the ability and disposition to
render invaluable aid in its splendid
propress and growing prosperity.
