COLUMBUS ENQUIRER-SUN, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 10, 1886. 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 the young men a call and they guarantee satis faction. GOOD THINGS TO MAT. Tbt Place Where They are (e he Posad la Ahead- anee.

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.

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.

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.
