n
TM Grocery Buiineti of Columbus
Brought in Review.
I*a4!a* FsfaMl* karats la the Wholeaale aad Be-
toll Trade—Pea Pletare af Some or the Dealera
aa4 Their Hoanea-Snppllee for the PlanUtloa
aad Contractors—Groceries for the City Trade.
There are connected with the grocery trade of
Oolumbua representative firms, which appear to
■land aa the embodiment of whatever is com
mercially above reproach. They are beyond the
shadow of a doubt in such financial condition as
to deter the most mendacious critic from any
anjust criticism. Below we present the names
of those in the foremost tank of the commercial
houses of Columbus, and it is gratifying to note
the fact that in all the history of Columbus there
has been neither blot nor blemish from them to
detract from ite mercantile fair fame. It is true
that ell the grocery firms of the city do not ap
pear in this column, some of them being in other
columns of this issue, and 6till others who have
ao card at all.
But it is to those named below that we take
pleasure in calling special attention, and it is
doubtful if there are merchants in any city more
worthy of it. There are two classes among our
grocers—those who deal in plantation,family and
contractors’ supplies, and those who make the
city trade a specialty and deal largely in family
and fancy groceries. The trade for the year has
met their most sanguine expectations, and the
number of people*fed from these establishments
is beyond ^numeration. Our merchants famish
the groceries sold in all contiguous counties and
very largely in southwest Georgia, southeast
Alabama and west Florida, besides extending to
a large circle in the counties north, east and
southwest. Below are some of the leading
dealers.
A CBEDIT TO COLUMBUS.
A Bevolatlon In the Betail Grocery Business
and the Man who Revolntionized It—One of
the Most Complete Establishments In the
Bonth.
That there has been a complete revolution in
the retail grocery trade of Columbus does not
take a seer to understand. Of all the merchants
In the city none has had more to do with revolu
tionizing it than Mr. I. L. Pollard, who has,
perhaps, the largest establishment of the kind
within the incorporation. It is located at 1224
Broad street, and it is a treat to go through his
store. Mr. Pollard makes a speciality of fine
goods and a specialty of selling them. His store
Is now overflowing with all the good things of
this life. He deals in the finest
FAMILY AND FANCY
groceries, and there is nothing needed for family
purposes that he cannot supply. He has his
flour put up to order and uses his own brands.
Baying by the hundreds of barrels he gets the
lowest possible figures and gives his customers
the benefit of it. He deals largely in bams,
breakfast bacon, meats of all kinds and his can
vassed goods are of the very best quality. Syrups,
molasses and all staple articles can be bought
from him as cheap as from any house in the
southern market.
IN FANCY GROCERIES
his stock is complete—exhaustive. There is noth
ing in the way of preserves, jellies, pickles and
articles of that kind that he does not keep in
great variety. He does not keep one or two kinds
of preserves or jellies, but hundreds of different
fruits put up in preserves are to be found on his
shelves. It is the same as to jellies and pickles,
and all one lies to do is to call for what they
want. All kinds of canned goods are kept and
one, while eating canned fxuits, would imagine
himself in a tropical clime, so sweet and fresh
they are. Pollard will have nothing but what is
fresh and good, and he has boxes and barrels
filled with the most delicate and delicious things
imaginable. There are jars of any capacity from
a half pint to five gallons, nuts, currants, figs,
raisins, citron, almonds, apples and such things
as speak so eloquently of what is so delightful
and toothsome.
HIS CONFECTIONS
are of the purest character and he will buy from
none but the very best manufacturers. In the
wa> of fancy candies he is prepared to sweeten
the tooth of every little girl and boy in the city
and surrounding country, and of the grown up
children too. He has plain, stick, and all kind
of the best sugar candies. One need not im
agine that it will take the wealth of Croesus to
bay any or all of these things, as Pollard’s is a
place without a rival both as to goods and prices.
THESE THINGS ARE NICE,
but that is the way Mr. Pollard does things. His
heavier goods are just as nice and as good. No
man in Columbus in a similar business carries
half the stock in coffee, teas, sugars, etc., that is
carried by Mr. Pollard. His is a retail store, and
the leader of the city trade, yet he carries as
mneh coffee as though he were doing a jobbing
business. The same may be said of his soaps
and goods in that line. If anybody wants one
hundred boxes of the beat soaps, or 300 or 400
dozen toilet soaps, Mr, Pollard >s ready to accom
modate them. Speaking of teas, he has it put up
in an endless variety of ways, among others in
the prettiest little baskets of one pound each
that was ever seen in Columbus. He deals large
ly in
TOBACCO AND CIGARS,
and can sell any pnrehaber from a pocket piece
#f tobacco to a box—a dozen boxes, a hundred
boxes. He has cigars at retail or v holesale, and
while be makes no special efforts in that line can
All orders forjoblotc of goods at as low figures
as they can be bad in the market. The truth is,
Mr. Pollard has the biggest and best stocks of
groceries o< any similar bouse in the city, and
where he boys in such large Jots can sell at*aa
lew figures aa any one. Mr. Pollard, though
a comparatively young man, ia old in mercantile
•zptnence, having been in the trade for upwards
•1 twenty years. Be ia a man of tireless energy
anfl brim fall of enterprise, * nd hiB
spirit has resulted in giving to Columbus an es
tablishment which ia a credit to the city. The
taste displayed in arrangement o ’the several de
partments of hla house is pleasing to the eye,
and almost involuntarily causes the passer-by to
halt and bestow more than a hasty glance upon
the variety of elegant goods.
J. T. COOPER.
One of the Leading Grocers of Columbus—A Large
‘ Business and the B ay He Built It Up A Popular
and Successful Business Man.
It is by no means uncommon in this city to
find young im n successfully managing large and
important mercantile and manufacturing inter
ests. The young man who posseaesindustry,
tact and determination, tegetber with integrity
and correct personal habits, may, with a fair
show of good luck, pass rapidly to the front in
this progressive city without, as a rule, incurring
the ill-will or envy of less foitunate men who
have been longer in gaining the goal
of their cm bit icn. Ficm the commencement of
his business career
J. T. COOPER
has occupied a prominent position among the
grocery men of Columbus, and has earned a rep
utation for enterprise, sound judgment and finan
cial skill of which many older established con
cerns might feel proud. Wi ile the truth of these
remarks is frequently proved by the rapid prefer
ment of young men of exceptionally good ability
who naturally gravitate to Columbus, the success
of Mr. Cooper has been so pronounced aa to al
most be regarded as phenomenal, Binoe he began
to make his way and acquire a fortune without
the accessories of large capital to assitt him. He
has mastered the details of the grooery business,
and to-day he ranks among
THE LEADING GROCERS
of the city. There is not a larger or better selec
tion of plantation supplies and family groceries
in the city. He knows the needs of the people
in the section of country tributary to this market
and he has prepared for meeting their wants.
His large and excellent stock embraces every
thing to be found in a first-class giocery estab
lishment and in any quantity that may be de
sired from a one-tenth sack to a car load lot of
flour, meat or anything to be purchased at
wholesale or retail. Mr. Cooper deals very large
ly in
PLANTATION SUPPLIES,
and sends such groceries in all sections of the
country. His most extended trade, however, is
down the Mobile and Girard railroad an t points
contiguous to the road. This is readily accounted
for, as he was for several years conductor on that
road, and a cleverer one never pulled a bell rope.
The consequence is that everybody in that
section knows him, and to know him is to trade
with him. When Mr. Cooper sells a customer a
bill the purchaser knows he will get sixteen
ounces to the pound. He guarantees fall weights
and measures in all goods he sells, and there is
not a more honest establishment in the state.
In additon to
HEAVY GROCERIES,
such as bacon, lard, bulk meat, sugar, coffee, rice,
flour and goods of that character, he keeps a fall
line of family groceries, such as teas, cheese,
crackers, canned goodB and other things in such
abundance as to defy enumeration. He deals in
candy by the wholesale and can stock up a coun
try store with all these articles in the most de
sirable way and on the shortest notice. He deals
very largely in tobacco, keeping all the favorite
brands, and he buys in such quantities as to se
cure the very best prices that can be given.
Mr. Cooper is among the most progressive
grocers in the city, and it affords us pleasure to
commend him to the public. Messre. C. O. Brin
son and Wm. Cooper are with him and will be
glad to see their friends.
THEO. M. FOLEY.
A Mas Who Has Made a Sucre** of Attendlag to
His Business—An Enterprising Boise nnd the
Bight Kind of Men to Bun It.
Mr. Theo. M. Foley, whoso immense grocery
establishment under the opera house is a general
rendezvous for the public, is recognized at home
and abroad as one of the most promising and
progressive business men in Georgia. Although
scarcely thirty years old, he has already accom
plished in the commercial world as much as
most successful men have accomplished at sixty
years of age. He is as busy as the traditional bee
from early morn till dewy eve. And yet be is
never too busy to stop and talk with the hum
blest man whose business makes it necessary for
him to see Mr. Foley. Mr. Foley, besides his
fame as a merchant, is well known to the public
as the manager of the Springer Opera
House. In this capacity, bis unvary
ing courtesy, and gentlemanly deportment,
coupled with the fact that his every act will bear
the closest scrutiny, have made him a deservedly
popular man with the traveling troupes aa well
as the theatre-going public.
His large grocery store is at once the pride of
Columbus and the fortune of its proprietor. His
customers are the rich and the poor, the great
and the small. For it goes without gainsaying
that in Foley’s establishment the weights and
measures are honest and fall to the last notch.
When he gets a new customer he keeps him.
People come to him for a change, but they never
leave him for a change. Owing to these facts,
Mr. Foley’s business has grown until now from
morning till night his store is a scene of busy
and restless activity. He runs two
delivery wagons, which not only deliver the
goods purchased, but first go to the residence of
customers and get their orders. Mr. Foley is also
agent for the far-famed “Old Mill Whisky," a
pure and wholesome rye, which has achieved a
place in the public favor not likely to bo usurped
by any other brand.
Mr. Foiey’s clerks are a class of men whose
characters go a great ways toward drawing cus
tom for the house. Mr. George J. Burr us, chief
clerk, is a man whose ceaseless vigilance and
ever ready tact, coupled with an honesty and
principle that are as immovable as the
hills, make him a desirable man in
establishment. Mr. A. E. Ryckeley is too
well known here to make his praise sound like
flattery. He came from a stock conspicuous for
integrity and he has not only kept up the fam
ily’s good name, but has added new luster to it.
Mr. Frank H. Springer is a young man who is
bound to make his mark and fortune in the world
of commerce, and whose reputation for fair
methods and honest treatment of all classes is
of great value to the house. Mr. Frank Springer’s
friends, are equal in number to his acquain
tances and a more popular young business
man would be hard to find.
With this corps of assistants, each one of whom
is a jewel worthy to be set In the midst of any
business establishment north or south, Mr. Foley
is, perhaps, prepared to do a better part by his
customers than almost any firm In the whole
country. His customers speak for themselves—
speak by their actions—and their actions indi
cate that they consider Foley’s the best place to
trade. Fair dealing tells in the long run. Foley
has tried it. He says it pays and be is going to
keep it np. He is a man who keeps bis word,
and the public may rely on what he says.
HEW AHD HICK.
Hew Firm, Hew Store, Hew Goods, bat Sellable In
Back sad Every Particular.
One of the moat enterprising firms in the city
of Columbus is that of Peabody & Faber, who do
a retail grocery business. This ia a new firm, new
store and new goods, but haa already taken rank
among the most progressive and enterprising
merchants of the city. While the firm is a new
one and the gentlemen composing It are young,
they are not without business experience, having
been with the liveat and largest business enter
prises in the city. Every one knows them to
be young men of unquestionable veracity, and
hence they are to be relied upon implicitly as to
fair and honorable dealing with customers.
This firm does a retail grocery business, making
the city trade a specialty. They have already
established a reputation for the high class of
their goods, and deal in none but the best. They
have any article, staple or fancy, that is necces-
sary or to be desired in the household. For in
stance they keep all grades of flour, sugar, and
things of that kind, and at all prices-giving as
good bargains for the same grade of goods as
any house in Columbus. They sell hams, bacon,
breakfast bacon and all canvased and canned
meats. A fall and complete line of canned-
goods are always to be found
upon their shelves. Every variety of
preserves, jellies, fruits, are sold as cheap as they
can be sold. Their crackers are not to be sur
passed in quality, variety or freshness. All their
goods are new and fresh.
These gentlemen have started out to do a fall
share of business, and they are doing it. All
goods sold by them are delivered free of charge,
and when desired will send for orders regularly.
It affords the Enquirer-8un much pleasure to
commend them to the highest consideration of
onr people, and we bespeak for them a liberal
share of patronage. They are in every way
worthy, and all goods will come up to their
recommendation, or they will make good any
failure to do so.
EAT AHD DR HAPPY.
All Wko Buy Their Groceries of W. R. Heore
Can't be Otherwise.
One of the most wide-awake and enterprising
of our grocery merchants is W. R. Bfooro, who by
the great variety of his stock and the excellent
quality of his goods illustrates the growing mer
cantile interests of lower Broad street. His store
house is of commodious and convenient struct-
ure, and being on the corner is easily accemible
from the front or side, with plenty of light and
with comfortable awnings. All of his available
space is at all times packed to the uttermost with
goods. Mr. Moore is himself in the prime of life,
and conducts his business with the systenf of the
trained merchant, and yet, with the vim and en
thusiasm of one born to his calling, and on a
scale of liberality and fair dealing which will
always insure to him a liberal patronage.
His place of business is on the west side of
Broad street, at the Broad street depot of the
Mobile & Girard railroad, and is, hence, con
veniently located for the city trade generally,
and especially the lower city trade, the citizens of
Girard, and to the people of Russell county, who
visit the city either by rail or vehicle.
Mr. Moore keeps everything which can in any
way administer to the comforts of the inner man,
or cater to the tastes of the most fastidious
epicure. The Aunt Dinas who preside over the
culinary department of our homes will never
lack for materials with which to famish the most
elaborate dinner, or the most comfortable break
fast, if allowed to select from his supplies. He
keeps constantly on hand every variety of canned
goods, of the most approved brands and freshest
quality, also the best quality of butter and eggs,
and the staple vegetables, such as sweet and Irish
potatoes, cabbages, etc.
His supplies of heavier groceries, such as hams,
flour, sugar, lard, syrup, etc., may always be re
lied upon as being the very best that can be had
on the continent, and at figures which show that
Mr. Moore knows how, in making his purchases,
to sound the bottom prices.
Mr. Moore keeps a delivery wagon with an
Intelligent and accommodating driver ready to
dal ! ver goods in any part of the city or its suburbs
If you will give him a trial you will find that
the variety of good things whioh can be gathered
from the four quarters of the earth into one
storehouse will surprise you. In quality, variety
and prices he does not propose to be surpassed in
this or any other city.
ALWAYS FRESH AHD GOOD.
Oae ef the Best Pisces to Get Groceries. Cakes aad
Confectioneries.
Among our family grocers and confectioners
Mr. Robert Justice ranks among the first. In
fact he leads Columbus in his line of business.
His stock is always fresh becausa it is sold as
fast a8 it comes in. His customers are the best
people of the city and surrounding country.
They have patronized him from the very
beginning of his career aa a grocer and con
fectioner and they have fonnd his weights
and measures fall and honest, andhis goods
exactly as represented. Mr. Justice has become
prosperous in his business by fair dealing and in
tegrity, and it is his intention to prosper by such
means alone.
The cakes and pies in this establishment are
favorites with the general public, and their fame
has gone abroad in the land. These dainty
viands are all made by Mrs. Justice, and
they are made exactly as if they
were to be used by the
family at home. Neat, fresh and tempting, they
go, like the hot cakes we hear about, as fast as
they are cooked. No better place to buy grocer
ies and confectioneries exists in the country, and
we predict for Mr. Justice business boom and
fortune, which he so well deserves.
ALWAYS AHEAD.
King A Daniel Equal to any Emergency in tho
Grocery Line.
Messrs. King & Daniel carry one of the largest
and best assortments of staple and fancy grocer
ies in the city. They have been at infinite pains
to provide a stock of pure, fresh f mily groceries
for the city and surrounding country. They
never fail to keep a fine stock of goods and the
present is no exception to the role. In canned
goods they have everything that can be canned.
They are always equal to the task of making the
housewife happy. They have flour and meat,
and lard, and syrup, and sugar, and coffee, and
tea, and sardines, and crackers, and cheese, and
pickles, and preserves, and jelly, and everything
else in the staple, family or fancy grocery line
one may want.
Men will chew and smoke. Appreciating this
fact Messrs King & Daniel have prepared for
them. They have a fall line of tobaccos and
among others the famous brand of "Sullivans’
Best.’’ They have all kinds of brands in cigars,
but for a good smoke they commend "Free and
Easy."
They have a saloon in connection with their
store and Mr. Richard Palmer presides at the
bar. They keep the best wines, whisky and
brandies which will be sold by the bottle or by
the gloss. The are live, energetic merchants and
will take pleasure in serving all who give them a
call.
Mr. J. A. Pearson is with them and will be
glad to see his many friends.
J. W. CARGILL.
Headquarters for Good, Pare aad Fresh Gro
ceries.
The grooery store of J. W. Cargill, on the corner
of Eleventh street and First avenue is headquar
ters for people in search of the purest and fresh
est groceries in the market. Mr. Cargill has been
In the grocery business in Columbus for twenty
years. His reputation for fair dealing is as wide
ly known as his easterners are scattered, and on
it he has bnllt np one of the finest city and coun
try trades of any grocer in the city. He pays a
hundred cents on the dollar, never having let a
draft go to protest in all these years. He sells a
dollar’s worth of goods for one hundred cents —
maybe more, but not less. He deserves his repu
tation as a man who would scorn to take advan
tage of his most ignorant customer, even when
it could be done with impunity. Mr. James N.
Gordy, his chief clerk, pursues the same busi
ness methods as his employer, and is known as a
business man who can be relied on for integrity
alike by his employer and his employer’s custom
ers.
JAS. K. DKAT04T.
A Dealer Who Makes a Specialty ot Jobbing
Goods.
Mr. J. E. Deaton has won and is keeping one
of the best trades of any merchant in Columbus.
He makes a specialty of jobbing goods, and keeps
every manner of plantation supplies from ginger
cakes to grindstones. He keeps a large and fresh
stock of everything, and a farmer who comes to
Colnmbus to lay in a supply of plantation mis
cellany, and who cannot get everything he wants
at J. E. Deaton’s, had just as well go home or go
to another city. Mr. Deaton conducts his en
tire butiness upon the principle that well treated
customers will return again, and he makes it a
point never to lose one. He is a man whose ac
quaintances, neighbors, friends and customers
have tested and found to be reliable. His word
uC*Vi' ItOiJi. tiitb .he y-w«- aujiw,
MAe weights and measure* never lie. He has
built up a big business by hia energy, prompt
ness and politeness, and we predict that It will
tncreoaa with the years as they come and go.
MABRY H. DANIEL.
Oae of the Live GroesrymtB of Columbia.
One of the most enterprising and energetic
grocerymen in this city is Mr. Harry H. Daniel.
He is on the corner of Tenth street and First
avenue, and does a very successful business, deal
ing in all kinds of fancy and staple groceries. He
makes it a point to have none but the best lino
of goods, and he sells them at prices as low as
they can be purchased. His stock embraces all
staple articles for family use, canned goods of
every kind, preserves, jellies and the finest as
sortment of crackers brought to this market. Ills
idea is to have no one call for an article in the
grocery line without being able to supply the de
mand. In addition to his regular line of groce
ries he keeps a frill Assortment of tobacco, cigars,
wines, liquors, all of which he sells at sue a prices
as to defy competition. He has none but the
most courteous and polite salesmen, who will
take great pleasure in serving all who visit the
establishment.
A HEW FIRM.
Young Men who Have Made a Fine Htart,
Only a few years ago the Messrs. Rothschild
came to Columbus and entered business with
some of our prominent merchants. By economy
and strict attention to business they have been
enabled to commence business for themselves.
A store was opened at the foot of Rose Hill, as
a venturo, and it has proven so successful thAt
they have opened another house at No. 1247
Broad street, corner Thirteenth street.
Mr. Barney Rothschild has charge of the store
at Rose Hill, and Mr. David Rothschild the
Broad street store. Both are assisted by an able
corps of clerks.
At both of their stores can be found a fine as
sortment of dry goods, shoeR, clothing, hats, etc.,
and also a well selected stock of choice groceries,
tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. Their stock is
complete and prices at rock bottom figures. Give

GOOD THINGS TO MAT.
Tbt Place Where They are (e he Posad la Ahead-

A delightfal place is found in W. R. Newsome’s
grocery store, on the corner near Broad street de

fancy groceries, all sorts of fruits, such as apples,
oranges, grapes and bananas; all varieties of
candies, nets aud other confectionaries. He has
canned goods of all descriptions, and will sell
anything in his line a* cheap as it can be bought
In the city. He hoe a fall line of tobaccos, cigars,
cigarettes, and a news stand filled with choice
literature. Mr. Newsome is aa enterprising mer
chant, and can accommodate the public to almost
anything needed. He is a clever young man and
is worthy of a large patronage.
Rollla Jefferson
Is another of Colnmbus' live grocers. Of a truth
there is not a more enterprising, eneigetic mer
chant in the city. Ho makes plantation supplies
a specialty, but he has as many and as good gro
ceries for the city, for the country, for home use
or for the plantation, as any house in the city.
That this is true the thousands of customers all
over the country will attest. He will soil his
goods on as favorable terms as they can be
bought in Columbus or anywhere else. All he
wants ia a trial. His card in another column
goes more into details.
W. J. Watt.,
One of the largest grocers in Columbns is Mr.
W. J. Watt, and his name is a household word
in many parts of Georgia, Alabama and Florida.
The good things that he has distributed broad
cast over the land is almost beyond computation.
He has been in the grocery business for years,
and it is his energy and industry, combined with
integrity of the highest order, that has made
him one of the leading merchants of the south.
He deals largely in plantation supplies and is
headquarters for supplies for railroad and other
contractors. Read his card in another column.
C. E. HorhstrsHM-r.
One of the prominent grocers of Columbus is
the gentleman whose name heads this notice.
Captain Hochstrasser always has a complete
stock of family and fancy groceries, and for tho
purity and freshness of his goods cannot be ex
celled in the south. He buys none but the best,
and it is a treat just to look at the fine articles iu
the way of jellies, pres> rves, and other German
and French goods which he offers to the public.
He has a very fine stock, well selected, and there
is not a more reliable house in Gergia. Read his
advertisement elsewhere.
Pearee A Tarver.
The name of Pearce & Tarver Is known
wherever groceries are sent from Columbus.
They deal very largely in plantation supplies
and make the whoh sale trade a specialty. There
is not a more thoroughly reliable house in the
south, and the large capital they have gives them
great advantages. They make their own an
nouncement in another place.
C. A. Redd A Co.
This hoase is one of the established in
stitutions of the city. The firm deals in family
and plantation supplies to a large extent. A

column will eonclude.

Truth In Pretty Metaphor.
She—Here is a^outhern poet who says : "Love

Do you suppose that he means that southern
people are more constant than the northern
races? -
He—Oh, no. I think he has noticed the bad
effect of keeping roses in flowerpots for husbands

We don’t ask consideration or patronage for friendship’s
