OUR TRADE.
Its Growth and its Character

Tile Book and Stationery Trade.
The Book and Stationery trade of Atlanta
is no inconsiderable item in Atlanta business.
Messrs. Phillips A Crew, the first house to
which we shall call attention, is a house
whose history every boy in the United States
should have upon his mind. They started
from just simply nothing. The house was or
ganized by Mr. Benj. B. Crew, and its nucleus
was $4 20 worth of newspapers, cigars, etc.
This $4 20 had been earned by selling news
papers, as a hundred news boys are now sell
ing the Herald. After many months of
struggling, Mr. Crew made enough money to
regularly open a book store. He was then on
the high road to fortune, and admitted Mr.
Phillips to a partnership with him. Since
then their business has thrived wonderfully.
Every season brings new customers, and
adds a large per cent to their trade. They
have probably the completest book store in
the State, and their sales are enormous. They
are agents for the famous Knabe piano, and
have sold thirteen of them on one street in
this city. They are reliable, active, prudent
and liberal, and Benj. Crew is a man whose
record is as pure and spotless as that of any
Christian in the State of Georgia. Mr. Jno.
Trimble at the head of the sale department,
is one of the best salesmen and general man
agers in the city. One of bis good points is
that he has read every book that ever was
printed, and is now hungry for the coming of
the * ‘next new novel. ”
Messrs. J. J. A S. P. Richards is an old
and reliable firm that do probably the largest
jobbing business ot any house in the city.
They keep always a heavy stock, and sell at
low prices. They have customers in almost
every village in Georgia, and hardly ever lose
a man when he once commences buying from
them. Nothing ever disturbs their trade;
come what disaster that may, J. J. A S. P.
Richards always sell their usual quantity cf
goods. It is a fine old house, and thoroughly
identified with Atlanta’s interest, and woven
into Atlanta’s glory.
J. W. Burke, this indefatigable publisher
has just opened a branch establishment of
his Macon honse in Atlanta, under the charge
of Mr. Hancock, who appears to have busi
ness qualifications of a very high order, and
who is building up with magical rapidity a
big trade. This honse is carrying a very
heavy staple goods, and keeps up in all the
novelties in their line.
There are several other book stores in At
lanta,and all are reported in healthy and pros-
peaous condition. The books and stationery
sales for the past year wili amount to over
$450,000.
Our Hardware Trane.
The very acme of commercial prosperity
may be said to be realized by the Atlanta
hardware merchants, as a class. Without a
single exception they are prospering, and
growing and getting richer every year that
they live. Without making any especial fuss
about it. they are pushing on their business,
extending their lines of trade, and getting a
growth as solid as the anvils that they sell.
The house of Tommey, Stewart A Beck has
grown up since the first of January, 1860,
when it was first opened here. The Senior
partner is an old Columbus hardware mer
chant— a 8Afe and successful man. Mr.
Stewart is a Newton county man, who began
life with less than nothing. He obtained an
education, graduating at Emory College, on
his own credit, and then taught for twelve
3 rear ^* P^yiog all he owed and accnmulating
considerable money. Mr. Beck is a young
man of Henry county, whom the other par£
ners have brought up io their store in this
city. Now, we doubt if there is a more ex
tensive hardware store in the South, or it any
bouse is on a more solid basis. They don't
cnoe anything.
Their sales for 1870 were $100,000: for 71
$120,000; and for 72. $150,000.
T. M. Clarke & Co., one of the oldest
honses in Atlanta, do probably the leading
business in hardware, although two or three
other honses push them close. Their sales
for the last year must have been $200,000,
and this year will far exceed that sum.
J. M. Alexander A Co. have a splendid as-
aortment of goods, are men of capital, and
do a fine business—a business that ia increas
ing all the time.

■XHB IABOEST WHOLESALE DRY GOODS HOUSE
IN THE 8TATE.
This firm are the pioneers of the jobbing
trade of Atlanta in the dry goods line. Their
success has clearly demonstrated that exclu
sive jobbing houses would pay handsomely in
this city. They lead, and always have the
dry goods business, their trade amounted to
over $7,000 last year, and unless something
unseen arises it will overreach a million this
year. They occupy a four story building,
with stone front, on the corner of Decatur and
Prior streets. They occupy the entire build-
lug, which is one of the largest business
houses in the city, being what is called a
double store, the dimensions of which are 36

regular dry goods trade, they do a larger

Holland Tobacco Factory*
One of the most important manufacturing
establishments in Atlanta is Holland’s To
bacco Factory on Marietta street. It has
been in successful operation for five years,
and has made a character that makes it
famous over the whole South. It is working
over one hundred hands all the time, paying
high wages and giving pleasant employment.
Its capacity is about 3,500 pounds a day, and
will shortly increase its capacity to meet the
demands of its trade. No difficulty is found
in selling all the tobacco made by this firm,
as they use nothing but the best Virginia leaf
tobacco. A very wise rule was adopted by
the proprietors when they started their manu
factory. At a risk of losing money for the
first year or two of business, they determined

Water Works at Hyde Park.
From the Chicago Times.
The trustees of Hyde Park are investigat
ing the question of water works; and, at
present, seem very favorably inclined to the
Holly system. This tendency is in the right
direction. There can be no doubt as to the
superiority of this system over that of the
reservoir and stand-pipe, the latter of which,
in this city, has never proved it sell anything
save a very costly failure. The expense of
the stand-pipe is not less than four times that
of the Holly, and then, even with this differ
ence against it, will accomplish infinitely less.
The Holly system does away wholly with our
expensive steam fire engines, and thereby
•conomises an enormous outlay. The auto
matic adjustability ot the Holly is also of
immense value, as it adapts itself to the de
mand for water, and is equally ready to fur
nish the [amount required to fill a drinking
pitcher, or for a vast conflagration.
If the people of Hyde Park are wise, they
will adopt the Holly pump and its connec
tions. Could Chicago have accepted the
