MEN WHO LEAD IN TRADE.
Progressive Business Men Who Believe in Rome, Floyd
County and Their People.
They Are the Ones Who Have Built Up the City and Made it the
Great Trade Center It Is—Safe Methods and Honest Transac
tions Have Brought Wealth and Prosperity to Them—
Rome’s Commercial Wealth Due to Their Enterpiise.
One of the most enterprising firms
in North Georgia, and one that has
done a vast amount of good for the
upbuilding of Rome and neighboring
towns is the O'Neil Manufacturing
Company. The gentlemen who com
pose the company ari reliable, enter
prising and up to date, and operate
one of the largest planing mills and
sash, door and blind factories in the
state. They use about ten million
feet of lumber a year, and during the
past summer they have furnished
material for a vast number of build
ings in Rome and the neighboring
towns. They deal in and manufact
ure all kinds of building material,con
sisting in part of rough and dressed
lumber, flooring, siding, mouldings,
laths, sash, doors, blinds, window and
door frames, mantels, banisters, rail
ings, verandahs, newels and all kinds
of interior finishing material. They
do all kinds of turning, hand and
scroll saw work. They are also con
tractors and builders, and last year
built about 150 houses under one con
tract and filled all their other orders
promptly, which could not have been
done without superior facilities for
turning out work. The factory has
all of the latest and most improved
machinery, and the firm employs two
salesmen on the road, and a large por
tion of its manufactured products are
shipped to New York and the Middle
and Western states, besides the busi
ness done in the section tributary to
Rome. About one hundred men are
employed by the firm, and it is one of
the most substantial in Rome The
firm takes pleasure in furnishing
priees, plans and estimates upon ap
plication.
Christmas Bargains.
Mr. Jacob Kuttner has laid in a
splendid stock of goods for the holi
days, which he is offering for sale at
such prices as would tempt a miser.
Table linens, doylies, napkins, of all
kinds in that line at the very lowest
prices, and capes and cloaks, at prices
that will astonish the ladies. He will
save you money on domestics and dry
goods of all kinds, and the second floor
of his big store is crammed and
jammed with men’s and boys’ suits,
overcoats, and so on. at prices that
have never be n duplicated in this
market.
He has an efficient corps of clerks,
salesmen and sales ladies, who are
ready and axious to show you any
thing that you may desire, and in dry
goods, millinery, ladies’ furnishing
goods, as well as in men’s and boys’
furnishing goods, Kuttner leads the
van for good goods at lowest prices.
The success of this great establish
lishment is due in a large measure to
Mr. Ike May, one of the shrewdest
buyers in the mercantile business in
Rome. He is popular and well known
with the trade, and has a large num
ber of friends in the city and surround
ing country.
Cheapest and the Best.
One of the most flourishing con
cerns in Rome is that of T. O. Hand
& Co., the retail grocers opposite the
Armstrong hotel. They keep on
hand a stock of fresh, attractive
goods of a quality sufficient to tempt
the palate of an epicure.
Family and fancy groceries, canned
goods, dried fruits, sauces, condi
ments, nuts, raisins, oranges, apples,
lemons, and everything of the kind,
which they are now selling at prices
that are within the reach of all.
They make a point of keeping the
very freshest and most select articles,
nothing stale, old or discolored about
their stock. Anybody who has a taste
for the real good things of life must
be attracted by the choice stock dis
played on their shelves and counters.
Toothsome confectioneries, deli
cious candies, crackers, knick knacks
of all sorts, the best brands of cigars
and tobaccos manufactured; in short,
they just beat the dutch in the way
of choice goods for a little mite of
money. They invite the public to
call and see just what they are pre
pared to offer in their line.
He Sells Real Estate,
No branch of business more affects
the commercial work of the city than I
that of the real estate agent, and Cap-I
tain Hiram D. Hill is one of the most
energetic men in that line of business
to be tound in the city of Rome.
He began in 1886, and on account of
his perseverance and industry, and
the care and attention which he has
given to every detail of every branch
of the business, he lias won the confi
dence of the public, buyers and sellers
alike, and whatever he tells you about
real estate you may rely upon.
He has made himself thoroughly fa
miliar with the trade of Rome and the
the surrounding country,and he knows
all the kinds and values of the various
properties on the market. He keeps
thoroughly posted in regard to every
movement in the business, and what
he does not know about real estate in
Rome and Floyd county is hardly
worth inquiring after.
He also makes a specialty of renting
property and collecting rents, nego
tiates loans and has made a big suc
cess of the stock and bond brokerage
business.
Fourth Ward Grocer,
Mr. W. J. Gordon, the popular and
prominent young councilman from
the Fourth ward, has made a splen
did success in the grocery business.
He carries an elegant stock of family
and fancy groceries,canned goods and
everything else usually found in an
up to date retail grocery store. He
deals largely in country produce,
and has made the Fourth Ward Fam
ily Grocery Store one of the most suc
cessful institutions in that part of the
city.
Mr. Gordon has made many friends
during his business career, and at the
last city election was chosen as a
councilman, a position which he has
filled with the utmost fidelity to his
constituency.
If you are in search of good groceries
and want them at the very lowest
rates in the market, you will do well
to drop in at Gordon’s and see what
he has to offer. He will make a spe
cial run during the holidays and his
customers, new and old, will be able
to find anything that they desire in
the grocery line of the very freshest
and most desirable, and at rock bot
tom prices at Gordon’s Fourth ward
grocery store.
These Are Leaders,
Curran & Scott are strictly in it for
the holiday trade. They are leaders
in fine whisky for domestic and med
icinal purposes, and they sell Cana
dian Club, a favorite prescription by
physicians for run down syterns; Yel
lowstone, agedin wood, the greatest
of American whiskies; Old Taylor,the
finest of Bourbons; Rose Glenn, fa
mous for its purity and rich flavor;
Pure Grain, which sells for only sev
enty five cents a bottle, and is worth
double the amount; Gibson and Rose
dale, two of the bast dollar a quart
whiskies in the market, and pure sour
mash corn whisky from Fannin and
Pickens counties.
Then they have the finest old St.
Croix and Jamaica rums, old Califor
nia pale Sherry at $2 00 a gallon,
Madeira, Port and Blackberry, and
everything in the way of first class
liquors. Call on them before buying
your liquors, and they will surprise
you by the quality of the goods and
the cheapness of the price.
There to Stay.
When you pass by the grocery store
of R. L. Morris you will always find
him busy waiting on customers. He
carries a splendid line of fancy and
family groceries, knick-knacks, poul
try and other country produce and
vegetables in season, and he is
especially prepared for the hol
iday trade. Drop in and see
him when passing, for Morris
is there to stay, and he is prepared to
serve all his customers, old and new,
with the very best in the market, at
prices that will astonish you when
you take into consideration the quality
of the goods which he has to offer.
Night and Day,
When Mr. W. Chinnick came to the
city about two years ago and opened a
restaurant proposing to keep open
night and day the scheme was in the
nature of an experiment but it is no
longersuch. It has now become’ a fix
ture.
He keeps a nice, neat, clean and at
tractive establisnment such as fills a
want that has been long felt and the
best people in the city drop in at Chin
nick’s to take their meals. To the trav
eling public it has proved a great con
vonience.
He employs the most experienced
cooks and the politest waiters to be had
and his tables are always furnished with
the very best in the market and he can
get you up a meal in short order any
time during the day and up to one
o’clock in the morning.
Rich and juicy steaks, tender chick
ens’ fresh oysters, fish and game of all
kinds are always kept on hand and Mr.
Chinnick makes it a-point to fill all or
ders promptly.
During the hollidays he will be pre
pared to furnish on short notice any
thing from a special order up to a square
meal and everything done to the queen's
taste . His charges are reasonable and
ho guarantees satisfaction. Give him a
call and see how well he caters to the
traveling public and to those in search
of something good for the inner man.
A New Comer.
Mr. I. Schwartz, is a now comer but
an old band at the business and since
he purchased the saloon at Chamlee's
stand on Fifth avenue opposite the
courthouse he has established a reputa
tion for keeping a neat, clean and first
class bar and for handling the very best
to bo had in his line of goods.
He keeps on sale all the leading brands
of rye and corn liquors, , brandies, im
ported and domestic wines, beer, tobac
co and cigars of the very best quality
THE MIE TRIBUNE, TU ESDAY, " DECEMBER 8, 1896.
and his prices are as cheap as the cheap
est.
Mr. Schwartz has built up a big trade
by handling first class goods and selling
at moderate prices and by conducting
such an up-to-date establishment.
Before buying your supply of liquors
for the holidays be sure and call on him
and see what he has to offer. He makes
a specialty of supplying the country
trade and whatever he tells you you
consider as perfectly reliable and in point
of quality, of cheapness of price he has
no superior in Rome.
Everybcey Knows Morris.
Everybody in Rome who buys grocer
ies has a knowledge of Mr. T. C. Morris.
He has made customers by keeping
the freshest and choicest goods and by
selling them at the very lowest prices in
the market. His family groceries, fruits
and vegetables, country produce and
everything else in his line are of the
very freshest and most tempting quality,
which he is selling as cheap as anybody
else can afford to sell and bis customers
get the benefit of this assurance.
He will bid for a big share of the holi
day trade. His choice, desirable grocer
ies at cheap prices will take with the
public.
He Means Business.
Since Mr. R. Abromson has removed
to his new quarters on lower Broad
street next to the First National Bank
he has had a large and constantly in
creasing trade. For the holiday season
be has laid in a select stock of dry goods,
men’s and boy’s clothing, shoes, hats
and notions of every variety. Mr
Abromson is affable and polite to his
customers and the cheapness of the
prices with excellence of quality of his
goods alwavs attracts the oargain seeker
and as a consequence his business is con
stantly on the increase. During the
holidays he offers many bargains at
such prices as will please all comers and
those having money to spend are ad
vised to call at Mr. Abromson’s before
investing. He treats everybody right
and never allows a customer to go
away dissatisfied.
A Big Business,
Experience, skill, ability and enter
prise combined can work wonders.
This has been demonstrated in the
success of the Morrison-Trammell
Brick company, which was organized
about a year ago by Mr. George Tram
mell and Mr. R. B. Morrison, both of
whom are thoroughly posted in every
detail of the business.
Mr. Trammell has had years of ex
perience in brick making, and com
bined with that has a thorough knowl
edge of practical building, which has
enabled him to push his business to a
splendid success.
Mr. R. B. Morrison has no superior
in the brick making business in this
country, and since he went into part
nership with Mr. Trammell, new ma
chinery has been put in and a large
amount of money spent in improving
the plant, so that the Morrison-Ttam
mell Brick company has no superior in
the South, in point of equipment and
the quality of its output. Mr. Morri
son is an Ohio man, and came South,
first to Atlanta and afterwards to
Rome, where he spent several years in
the brick business before going into
partnership with Mr. Trammell.
This firm has built up a large trade
throughout the country,, and q,very
consignment of brick from the Morri
son-Trammell Brick company is an ad
ditional advertisement of the superior
quality of the product’of their well
equipped plant. They ship their brick
for many hundreds of miles around
Rome, and in no instance have they
failed to give entire satisfaction.
Their new steam power re-press en
ables them to turn out face brick equal
in quality and finish to the product of
the biggest concerns of the country as
can be seen by the attractive appear
ance of the buildings, the brick work
of which they have superintended.
The beautiful Rosalie Clark memo
rial chapel, which is being completed,
will be a standing monument to their
skill, ingenuity and the superior qual
ity of their work and material. Both
gentlemen are very popular citizens,
Mr. Trammell being a member of the
board of county commissioners, and
they are thoroughly identified with the
progress of Rome’s enterprises.

Judge Walter Harris a Candidate For
i Re-Election.
For seven years Justice Walter
Harris has filled the responsible posi
tion of justice of the peace, He is
now a candidate for re-election, and
there is no doubt in the minds of his
friends that he will win because of
his popularity as a man and the abil
ity which he has displayed as a pub
lic official.
With keen disciimination and rare
judgment Justice Harris combines a
knowledge of the law and a strictly
conscientious regard for the rights of
the people. Besides he adds to that
the courage of his convictions, and
whatever he believes to be right he
will do, no matter what the pressure
that may be brought to bear upon
him.
He is one of those big-hearted,
whole-souled men,and has won his way
