 And just 100 years ago he started a ready to-wear clothing business.
 Goes Wholesale
 Henry Michaels met with such success that he decided to whole sole his farmen.s. Instant sue cess resulted.
 Constant growth made neces- sary several changes to increas- ingly enlarged quarters. De- mobilization of the armies of the War between the States gave to Michaels' wholesale business, its greatest impetus. Demobilized soldiers required civilian cloth ing. Dees that sound familiar?
