Although Columbus ranks ns the second
Wealthiest city on the continent, it is, neverthe
less, the centre of a large jobbing trade for the
sale of drugs and all goods used for medical pur
poses. As in many other leading lines of busi
ness, however, its prestige is due to the push
and enterprise of our merchants who handle
such articles and to its geographical advantages
more than its near vicinity to consumers. A
canvass of the situation develops the fact that
the result of trade for the past year has been
more satisfactory to jobbers than any previous
year for some time. Prices have shown more
regularity, hence goods were handled
with less risk. The average prices,
however, were lower than in 1885. i
There was also greater caution in
buying stocks, which enabled jobbers to keep
on a more secure basis, and rendered them con- ■
servative about granting credits. The result of !
the latter course was to diminish losses from bad
debts, and to some extent lessen expenses, that
always show a high percentage when there is a
strong competition among dealers, to secure
buyers for goods with which they are over- '
stocked. But while there was less eagerness to
sell goods, the general aggregate of business was
jfhUy up to that of last year. This may be chiefly !
attributed to a material increase in new ac
counts, opened with customers in sections
where Columbus has not heretofore sent her
goods and some of the usual trading sections
have increased their purchases to a fair extent.
It is a fine trading section for Columbus in south- |
west Georgia, southeast Alabama, Florida, and
during the ensuing year a strong effort will be
made to obtain control of the largest part of it, :
as well as the trade in other directions. Our job- j
hers never fail in their efforts to secure trade and |
it is scarcely necessary to say that they will be |
successful in the future.
There are several drug establishments in Co
lumbus that do not make pretensions to whole
sale houses, but do a large wholesale business.
The representative drug men of the city are in
eluded in the notices which follow.
BRANNON & CARSON
leaders of the Brag Business in Middle Georgia.
Their Wholesale and Retail Department*.
Gentlemen Who Compose the Firm and Those
in Their Employ.
Columbus has a wholesale and retail drug Arm,
Brannon A Carson, of which any southern city
might well be proud, not only on account of its
mastodon dimensions, but on aooount of its well
-earned reputation extending over three states,
JFor promptness, fair dealing, and unalloyed busi
ness integrity. Some of the largest wholesale
Bouses north and south retain their custom be
cause men find it profitable to deal with them,
while at the same time these customers know
that these houses never swindled them, simply
because they never have a chance. In this class
Brannon A Carson have never been placed,
•even by their enemies, If they have
any. Both members of the firm bear the same
reputation in business circles that they do in
private life, the reputation of being men who
prize principle above money,and oonscienoe more
than customers.
Mr. A. M. Brannon, who is still a youthful
loo king man, has now been successfully engaged
In the drug business for thirty-five years. If he
•doesn’t “know it all,” he perhaps approximates
It as nearly as any other druggist In Georgia.
Mr. Brannon pays special attention to the large
retail business of the firm, which is increasing
every day.
Mr. Sam H. Williams is the prescriptionlst
cand has control of that depart
ment. He is an accurate and thoroughly edu.
•coted pharmacist, and the high price which the
firm puts upon his services and ability is attested
in the fact that his employers believe, and do
mot hesitate to declare, that in their opinion he
has no superior anywhere.
Mr. T. W. Kirksey, who was for several years
the pharmacist in one of the leading drug estab
lishments in Eufaula, is now with this house,
and in addition to keeping books assists Mr.
Williams. He is a most estimable young gentle
man, reliable in each particular, and would be
an acquisition to any establishment in the land.
Messrs. W. F. Bullivan and W. H. Brannon, Jr.,
are clerks in the establishment, and it is no doubt
owing much to their good looks and affable man
ners that so many girlB go there far perftimerie* t
toilet articles and chewing gum. They are
nice, clever boys and are destined to make men
of prominence.
THB IMMENSE WHOLESALE
and jobbing department Is in charge of Mr. R. A.
<Hrson. Few men of his age have left as good a
record behind them as this man has. He can
look backward with piide and therefore he can
look forward with hope. Youthful and
ruddy, he would be taken by a
stranger to be a busy clerk instead of
joint proprietor in one of the largest whole
sale drug houses in the south. Mr. Carson has a
way of leaping at conclusions and taking snap
judgments that would impress a man who did
not know him as dangerous. But his immense
business moves under his eye like clock work, and
he never makes a mistake. Mr. Carson is not a
hasty man. He is a quick man. Hastv men
take risks to save time. Quick men take no
risks because they need no more time than they
take. Mr. Carson has managed his department
so well that the retail druggists of a large area in
Georgia, Florida and Alabama have
■come to look upon the firm of Brannon
A Carson as a sort of Mecca far druggists, and
twice a year they make a pilgrimage to Colum
bus, not to touch the cold walls of a false prophet’s
tomb as the Mohamedan pilgrim does in the
Meooa of the east, and go away unhealed save in
Imagination, but to buy the medicines fresh and
pure which Brannon A Carson are shipping to
remote regions every day
“FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS.”
Several drummers employed by this firm cover
the territory of three states with the sedulous
regularity of a circuit rider, and their orders, to
gether with the vast number that come
unsolicited by mail and telegraph, cause the
nine men employed by the house to have to
work like they were fighting fire. In this con
nection we will be pardoned for making special
mention of Mr. Chas M. Law, the champion
light-weight commercial tourist of this section.
A cleverer young man does not live, or one
who puts in more energy, vim and pluck for his
house. In him they have a treasure. Perhaps
ONE OF THE MAIN SECRETS
of the success and popularity of this firm is the
fact that by having plenty of capital to handle
goods with, they are not compelled to ask any
favors of manufacturers, and in fact almost dic
tate their own terms, or at least do so to the same
•xtent that men with the ready cosh always do.
Two or three items under this head may be men
tioned as illustrations cf what we Dr.:g
manufacturers have what in trade parlance are
called “quantity price*.” ‘‘Quantity
prloee” are not far the bene- uning in the ir proscriptions. They use nothing
fit of retail men who come to the manufacturers of an inferior character, oven though the mate-
to buy by the wholesale, but for the bersflt of rial may be reputed purr, their chici claim being
wholesale inen who come to buy by the quantity, j in the fine quality of material used and the skill
“Quantity” in this connection is an intensive j and accuracy with which they are compounded,
term and moans more than wholesale. Detail | They handle the very best German and French
dealers buy by the wholesale; wholesale dealeis j chemicals,
buy by the “quantity.” “Quantity prices,” such
as Brannon A Carson and other large wholesale
dealers gel, would make the ordinary small drug- tent of tbeir business They keep a Dili line of as
gist think that drugs were now being munu- fresh and as superior drugs and medicines as are
factured out of dirt, or, at least, that they were to be found in the city. They know that Colum-
“dlrt cheap.” Another item going to show why bus is progressing and the people are progressive,
hence they keep pace with all new methods, and
anything to be obtained in an enterprising and
first-class drug store may be had from them at
the lowest prices for which they can be sold.
They deal largely in perfumeries and all other
toilet requisites. Their soaps are inferior to
none ever brought to this market, and, like their
drags, they will have none but what they know
to be the best. It would be out of tbo question
to enumerate the patent medicines that they
keep in stock. It affords us the greatest pleasure
to commend such estimable gentlemen.aud those
who deal with them may implicitly rely on what
they say, and that the articles are exactly as rep-
Brannon & Carson can afford
to sell drugs so low is
the fact that their bills are discounted by the
manufacturers, because they are paid in cash as
soon as the goods are received. A third instance
of the advantage they possess over the ordinary
druggist, is that all patent medicine men grant
rebates to buyers by the quantity, the freight
being paid entirely by the manufacturer, thus en
abling Brannon & Carson and other large dealers
to sell patent medicines at the same prices
charged in New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia
or at the manufactories themselves.
It le therefore patent and needless of argument
that the retail druggists of this and adjoining resented,
states can find no better market for the purchase
of drugs than Columbus, and no better firm from
whom to get them than Brannon & Carson. 1
This fact is being learned, realized and acted
upon by the druggists of a vast section of terrb j
tory adjacent to Columbus. Their cus- '
tomers have stated voluntarily time
and again that they could af- ;
ford to pay even eigher prices far the goods pur-
, . r. „ " * .. quarters, and have one of the best and
chased from Brannon & Carson than they do, if lenient storehouses in the city. 'Their
it was required of them, since the drugs pur
chased from this firm have a freshness and
strength which is not found in goods purchased
miscellaneously, and which enables them
to be kept in stock for long
periods without impairing their value.
Brannon & Carson are alertly aware of the
causes of their enormous trade and they make it
a rule and a point to keep these causes active, 1
and not to take advantage of their customers
on a reputation which was won on a fair dealing
that is not continued. They are, like their
goods, always the same. Brannon & Carson
do not flaunt a gonfalon without facts to back
it. They are the banner wholesale druggists
of an immense area of territory and they bid
fair to pmintain their position.

ONE OF THE BEST.
A Brag Store That Is Complete In Every I‘nr-
titular.
There are no more prominent exponents of the
drug business in Columbus than the firm of Gil
bert & Blanchard. For a long time they did
business a few doors below the Central Hotel, but
now they have moved into more commodious
most con-
establish-
ment is under the Rankin House and next door
to W. J. Watt, where they have one of the finest
assortments of pure drugs every brought to Co
lumbus. In changing their quarters they have
changed the programme of usual routine drug
business, but have gone into it in a
way that means success in all the
word implies. They know that to command the
trade they must have the goods, and there is
probably not a finer or better selection of drugs
and medicines in the state tliau i3 to be found at
IMPORTERS AND JOBBERS OF
II
Gilbert* Blanchard’s, and they are sold at such ! » breech loader with pro-
prices that makes competition a secondary con
sideration.
Their stock of drugs embraces the best goods
manufactured and they will have none other.
They keep a full line of patent medicines that
are recognized standard goods. Their stock of
perfumery, soaps, toilet articles and things of
that kind is full and complete. In thet they have
a first-class drug store in the frill > ignificanee of
he term and ore determined that no house in Co-
ColumbuB is characteristic far young men of ! lumbus shall excel them in the quality and price
pluck and energy. Some of the greatest institu- of their goods.
tions in this city owe their prominence to young
men who were not afraid to work. Among all
these there are no two who are more assiduously
devoting themselves to their business than
Messrs. Hall A Whoat, druggists and pharma
cists, at 1010 Broad street. They have Just begun
the drug business at this place, though it is an
old drug stand, between the Central Hotel and
the Rankin House. Though they have scarcely
been opened ten days, it is already one of the
most handsome in the city, and they intend to
make it Just as reliable os it is pretty.
A word about these young men will not be out
of place. Mr. E. M. Wheat carries into his busi
ness several years’ experience in some of the most
prominent drugstores of the state. Though a
young man, he is well veroed in medicine in all
its phases, and there is not a more competent
pharmacist in the sonth. He understands what
and when to buy, and the stock now in their es
tablishment evince* this beyond all peradven-
ture. Coluw buz does not possess a more esti
mable young man, and his word is his bond.
Mr. Harry Hall is a young man of sterling busi
ness qualifications, and is in every sense of the
word an honorable young man in whom confi
dence may be placed without any fear of betray
ing it.
Combined with these qualifications Messrs.
Hall A Wheat have the capital, the energy and
the experience far making one of the finest, best
and most reliable drug stores in the south, and
they are going to do it. Everything in this drug
store is newborn cellar to garret, and they can
show all and a great deal more than they advertise.
All these goods that are now seen in their mag
nificent establishment were bought for cash.
They make it a point to discount all bills and
give their customers the benefit of the lowest
prices. They handle nothing bnt the finest
quality of goods, and deal with only first-class
houses. In talking with one of the firm, he re
marked : “We want it disttetly understood that
we have ‘come to stay,’ and will maintain the
motto: ‘Integrity, accuracy and cleanliness.’ ”
This drug store has the finest and most modern
fixture*, especially the prescription and manufac.
taring departments, in the south. It is the only
entirely new stock of drugs that has been in this
city for twenty-five years, and the peoplo should
appreciate this and buy where they know they
are getting fresh goods, and at low prices. An
investigation will convince any one tl at they han
dle fine goods only. Everything^is kept clean, and
they purchase no job samples. They had rather
not make profits quite so large than to in
jure their reputation by selling shoddy
goods. They have the largest assortment
of tooth, hair, nail, shaving, barbers, hat, cloth,
shoe and bath brushes ever brought to this city,
and as they were purchased since the reduction
of tariff on that particular line of goods, they are
in a position to offer superior inducements. Phy
sicians need not go to the trouble and expense of
There is one thing that is especially commenda
ble in this firm and that is the reliability with
which their business is conducted. They have
none but the best pharmacist, and all care and
pains arc taken in compounding prescriptions,
and they make it a point to use nothing bnt the
very best material for this purpose.
In addition to the very large stocks of drugs
and medicine* which they carry, they have a
nice assortment of toilet articles, embracing
everything to be faund in that line. It is a com
plete drug store and owned by two as respon
sible and worthy gentlemen as honor Columbus
with their citizenship. The Enquirer-Sun doe*
not hesitate to cordially commend them to the
public.
A St CCES8.
Perhaps no two young men in the state of
Georgia have done so much in the commercial
world in so short a time and still maintained 1
their Integrity, as Evans A Howard. They seem I
to have donned seven-league boots in the race 1
toward success and fortune. They are both thor
oughly educated men and are thus better equipped
than the average pharmacist for the Latin root*
and intricacle* of the drug business. Though,
neither member of the firm is over twenty-five,
they are as steady and assiduous as men of fifty.
They will be enormously wealthy men if they
live to middle Ufa. These young gentlemen are
proprietors of the large retail drug house at 1892
Broad street and of the “Central Drug Store” on
Brood street, near Eleventh. The former store is
in charge of Mr. Oliver, a thorough and
accurate prescriptionist, and one of the best
liked young men in Columbus. The proprietors
and two other clerks have immediate charge
of their elegantly fitted up drug empo
rium, the “Central Drug Store.” Both of
their establishments are popular with
the people of Columbus and the surrounding
country. They sell the best drugs at the lowest
rates, and their clerks are prompt, attentive and
accurate. Two more thoroughly equipped, better
conducted and popular drug stores than those of
Evans & Howard cannot be found anywhere.
Their friends and enemies alike make this con
cession, and they may and must, far one cannot
argue against a success.
THE CITY BRI G STORE,

I It is quite probable that Columbus does not
: claim a more enterprising and energetic young
! merchant than Mr. George A. Bradford, of the
I City Drug Store. In the management of this
. establishment lie has demonstrated that he fully

; be kept, and he keeps his just that way. He is

j rienee of many years in the drug business and

The prescription department is attended at all

and has already established a reputation far a

and talent that can be obtained in compounding
prescriptions, and every means are used to make
no mistakes. In a word, be understands his busi- |
ness eo thoroughly that his store is one of the ,

SKILL ANB ACf l RACY.
A Popularity Extending Over the Spare of Half a
Centary
It would be extremely difficult to name a
branch of business more important in its relar
tions to the general public than that devoted to
compounding prescriptions for the ilia of life.
The drug business is something which demands
! on the part of those engage ! in it the very high-
! est business qualifications. So that when a house
, has enjoyed a liberal patronage and popularity
for a long term of years, it is an evidence of the
j fact that its management has been characterized
1 by integrity, ability and good judgment.
Such are the circumstances connected with the
drug firm of Messrs. Robert Carter & Son, which
wa« established in this city nearly half a century
ago, daring which period it ha* always held a
foremost and prominent position in the trade.
Mr. Robert Carter, sr., ha* been in buntaess since
1830,And for the past twenty years his son, Robert
Ci.rtc., jr., w.;a t^ii* c
j lishment. These gentlemen make a specialty of
. carefully and judiciously selecting material for
tion, and in fact anything that ought to be found
in a first-class drug store can be had at the City
Drug Store, and Mr. Bradford deals only in the
very best goods.
One of the features of this establishment is the i
fine quality of cigars which are kept, aud tho
manner of keeping them. Imported cigars are
kept hermetically sealed in order to retain the
flavor. He has both foreign and domestic cigars,
andean suit the taste or inclination of any who
wish a good smoke. There are many other ,
things too numerous to mention, but there is no
place in the city where drugs and medicines are
sold at a lower margin, when the same class of
goods are considered. All who pur
chase from the “City Drug Store”
may be sure of a hearty welcome, of fair dealing,
of an honorable guarantee that everything sold
is just exactly what it proposes to be, and of the
lowest price for which similar goods can be sold
anywhere. The proprietor of this house ha*
risen to success because of his perfect knowledge
of business, hi* skill in baying ja*t such goods as
are adapted to the use of his customers, and at
such figures that he can sell at the lowest price*.

FANCIES FOR THE FEET.
An Artist Who Can Make Them Look Like n Pic
ture.
You never heard of a shoe artist? Then let
Mr. Win. Meyer, at 10-1 Broad street, fit you out
with a pair of shoes and you will certainly agree
with us that there are artists in the shoe trade.
Among the boot and shoe men of Columbus
none is more favorably known than Wm. Meyer,
who, for many year*, ha* been engaged first as
maker and then as manufacturer and dealer in
boots and shoes. “Who made your boots?”used
to be the question among young men, and the
answer was almost invariably “Wm. Moyer,”
which illustrates the high repute in which his
work ho* ever been held among those who de
lighted to sport first-class boot* and shoes. Well,
year by year Meyer’s little shop has grown until
it ha* at last develojaxl into a flrst-cla*s shoe
house, where all classes may be fitted
out in the best stylo for tho
least money. When we say least money
we do not mean eheap shoe*, far he makes a
specialty of fine goods. He keeps work from the
celebratod houses of Miller A Ober, and from
J. S. Turner, and other leading manufacturers,
who make the best gents’ and boys’ shoos known
to the trade. He has Burt A Packard’s shoes at
$3.75, which is one of the greatest bargains ever
offered here. He has u shoe for $8.00 mode
especially for him. Mon and boys can find any
thing they want in this establishment.
Mr. Meyer is solo agent for Bennett A Barnard’s
j shoes, a»d nothing is superior to them. He has
I ladies’ shoes from 00.30 down to any prioj thnt
may be wanted. In misses’ and children’s school
shoos his stock is entirely complete. His spring
i heels can not be excelled. In fact, there is noth-
| ing in the shoe line but what Mr, Meyer can fill
j any order ot supply any customer.
; During the seas n now opening he will carry a
larger stock of Indite’ hand and machine-sewed
boots than ever heretofore, all first-class in style
and quality. Meyer is not only a first-class work
man, but an honest and conscientious dealer,
aud strives on all occasions to give satisfaction in
goods and prices. Messrs. H. W. Garrett and
C. H. Harrison are with him, and two more
courteous clerks do not live in Columbus.
Believe What ne Tells Yon.
The oldest harness anrl saddle house in the
city is that of which Mark A. Bradford is propri
etor, though he is by no means an old man. It
was established by Mr. Mlddlebrook in 1839, and
has been first-class from that day until the prer
enttime. Mr. Bradford makes hand-sewed har
ness a specialty, and a harness turned out by his
workmen is superior to anything that can be ob
tainod in this section. He keeps the largest
stock of harness, saddles, bridles and gear of any
house in the city. He is as honest as the day is
long, and when he recommends a piece of work
it is all right. He keeps only first-class material.

it is rare that the possessor of such a gift should
persist through so many years in keeping it to
