OUR BUSINESS.
What Some of our Leading Merchants
Are Doing and What They Have
to Say Regarding Trade, the
Future of the Town
Etc., Etc., Etc.
How many business houses are
there in Cartersville exclusively for
the sale of merchandise? I asked a
prominent merchant a few days ago.
I suppose there are about forty
five, he replied.
I was a little surprised at tbisnum
ber, and we began to count them. I
did not suppose that there were more
than thirty, but found that ho was
about correct. I will venture to say
that there is no town in the state
north of Atlanta, and I may safely
assert south of Atlanta, with a popu
lation of three thousand inhabitants,
that does more business than Car
tersviile. Altogether, the outlook
for a brilliant future for the town is,
indeed, flattering.
Said a gentleman to me a few days
ago, as we were taking a stroll over
a portion of the city, and noticing a
great number of improvements going
on, a spirit of enterprise seems to
have taken possession of our people.
Yes, I replied. Only a few years
ago iJartersville was considered a
dead 'ii town, and for a long while

es . i it In n g enlarged and re
ed 1 won’t hesitate to sa> that
more new buildings have gone up
du' ing the past twelve months than
any year since the war. Real estate
is advancing, and the average build
ing lot is worth fully twice as much
to-day as it was five years ago.
But, you ask, to what can we
attribute all these improvements,
and advance in real estate?
1 answer : To our merchants and
nusiness men generally. They are
now beginning to realize that they
have one of the richest mineral and
agricultural countries surrounding
them in all the south. They are not
afraid to make larger investments.
They know that they have the neces
sary resources and trade to back
them in their adventures and numer
ous enterprises.
I For the benefit of the many read
ers of Tuk American, I “took in
the town” a few days since to hear
what some of our merchants and*
manufacturers had to say regarding
their business and the future of the
place. The first gentleman I en
countered w’as
COL. R. H. JONES,
proprietor of our carriage and wagon
factory—the largest enterprise of the
kind in north Georgia, and one of
largest in the south. I found Col.
Jones, as usual, at his place of busi
ness, and began to interrogate him a
little concerning his growing enter
prise, origin, etc.
Give me a few’ facts, colonel, I
asked, in regard to the history of
your business and the progress it has
made.
I began operation, he said, in 1553.
Twenty-nine yehrs ago. I am now
doing SBO,OOO worth of work annu
ally. The war, of course, interfered
with me a while, but now I have
trade extending all over Cherokee
Georgia and north Alabama. I es
tablished a branch house in Rome
about four years ago where 1 keep
work fur sale, and also have shops
making new work and repairing; I
build the best work ever introduced
in this c ountry , according to univer
sal testimony rum those who have
us- -1 and for tong years. 1 bui and no
sorry w rk
Your busines la is
'. is it not.? f enquired.
Yes. l did a good husine.--. before
•ho war for many years, For .several
yi past my business has been
v iitasii'g. il 1 w< uld keep iravel
-1 men out, I could sell more work
than 1 could build, such is its popu
larity.
You have been over the country
somewhat, lately ; from present indi
cations what do you think of busi
ness and the prospects for a cotton
crop? I asked.
The outlook, he answered, for busi
ness is good, but will depend upon
the crops drawing nigh to maturity.
The impression as to the character ol
cotton, and its yield, seems to be
that there will be an average crop
made if frost is late coming. Leav
ing Coi. Jones, I crossed Erw in street
to see
MR. R. M. TATTILLO,
one of our best grocery men, who
has, by straightforward dealing with
his customers, built up a very pros-,
perous and paying grocery business.
What kind of a trade do you look
for this fall, Mr. Pattillo? I asked.
Well, I lbk for a better trade than
we have had in ten years—since 1872,
he said.
What do you think of the approach
ing cotton crop?
The crop, I think, will bean aver
age one. The farmers all say that if
they can have a few weeks of warm,
dry weather they will make a full
crop.
Don’t you think the farmers are in
a much better condition than they
have been in several yeais? I asked.
O, yes, no doubt of it. They have
iearned a great deal iu the past few'
years. They are more economical
now ? , I think, and are less Inclined to
go in debt than heretofore.
What do you think of the trade of
Cartersville, is it increasing any?
I think the trade of our town is
steadily increasing, and has been for
the past three years.
It will be seen that Mr. Pattillo is
living in high hopes for the future.
Thanking him for his expressions I
left and tackled next, our popular
druggist,
MR. M. F. W’ORD,
familiarly known a3 “Cel.” Dr. W.
li. Leake, his popular and handsome
clerk, is always on hand ready to
attend to the wants of his customers,
and see that they are properly w'aited
upon. Mr. Word is a good business
man, and I predict his house will be
among the foremost in a very few
years. He i* much pleased with the
prospects of the approaching season,
and intends laying in a well selected
stock of drugs and fancy articles for
the fall and winter trade. I had a
word or two with our big-headed,
big-hearted, big-footed, jovial South
Caroliua refugee,
MR. JNO. T. OWEN,
hut who, I believe, has about become
naturalized from association, and
may now be considered one of the
family. Mr. Owen is one of the best
jewelers anywhere to be found, and
if he tells you that he can do your
watch or clock no good, you might
as well consign it to the bed of the
Etowah river and let him supply
you with anew one. He is honest,
and when he tells you anything you
fan depend on it. He is always
loaded with a good Abbeville yarn
ready t<> “shoot off” whenever he
has an audienei ad i called upon.
The next place 1 came to was the
grocery store of
MR. W. 11. BEST,
the youngest merchant iu town, lie
h.is been iu business only a few
months, tut is hist coming to the
trout. He D popular—especially
with the lailies, and always has
something new and attractive to
show his customers. He is a close
observer and his opinion is about the
same as that of most of the merchants
concerning trade, etc. He thinks he
will get his share of the patronage
our town will have during the next
nine months. For success to the
young gentleman, he has our best
wishes.
Just across the street from Mr.
Best’s is the hardware establishment
of
BAKER & IIALL,
one of the largest and staunchest
hardware houses in north Georgia.
They occupy both rooms of tjie large,
substantial two-story brick building,
with a warehouse attached to the
roar for the storage of iron and other
heavy goods. They keep everything
usually kept in a first class hardware
store, and can compete with Atlanta,
Rome or Chattanooga. I met Mr.
Hall, the senior partner of the firm,
who gave me a few interesting items
pertaining to their business.
Your firm is among the oldest in
the town, is it not? was my first
interrogation.
Yes, sir, he replied, we began busi
ness in 1872.
What of your success ?
It has been as good as we anticipa
ted or could ask for.
You seem to have a large stock on
hand at present; as near as you can
approximate it what do you think it
will amount to ?
From $12,000 to $15,000, I’ll say.
I suppose you intend increasing it
this fall ?
Yes, we will add to our stock as
the trade demands.
How do you think the trade will
he?
Of course it will be good if we can
have a full cotton crop, which will
depend upon the season. W hat we
need now is plenty of sunshine and
warm weather for it to mature. We
want a late fro-d, I’ll state.
Few firms in Cartersville have met
with better success than that of
S( nr.UEF. BRO’S.
Probably no dry goods house in
the town carry a larger and better
selected -to k '• ir theirs. The firm
is composed of f or brothers, all first
clfi-s business men, who make their
purchases with great care,'and exer
cise good tate. Mr. Albert Scheuer,
one of the firm, is now in New York
buying for the house. They have on
band an immense stock, and are
receiving new goods daily. They
say they will carry about $23,000 or
$25,000 stock. Mr. Moses Scheuer,
the founder of the business,-came to
this place about seven or eight years
ago penniless, but by economy and
industry has built up a business
which is a credit to our town, and
which will compare very favorably
with some of the best houses in At
lanta. I was shown a few days since
some of the finest trimmings and
silks they have'ever brought to this
town. We seldom find, in a place of
this size, an assortment of their class
of goods.
Leaving Scheuer’s, I cross the
street again to see
STOKELY, WILLIAMS & CO.,
the oldest firm during the presect generation
of merchants. Capt. May’s of the firm gen
erally does the buying aud is no'v at the
north working for the best interests of the
house and its customers. I approached Mr.
A. C.-Williams, er., by the way, otje of the
most clever and affable gentleman I have ever
met. who gave me the desired information.
When was your house established ? I asked.
We commenced business in 18oS—twenty
four years ago.
You bare the largest aud most convenient
r-tore room iu the town. %\ hat amount ol
stock do y ou keep on hand ?
Between *15,000 aud * IS,OOO, he replied.
How is your business progressing?
I think it is growing steadily ; anyhow I am
satisfied with its present condition.
In your opinion, what do you think of the ;
business outlook ?
Well, ho said, we are anticipating a good !
trade this fall and winter provided we can '
have a good crop of cotton.
What do yon think of that ?
I think if the weather is favorable, with one j
exception—the crop of 1880—it will be better
than any we have had iu ten years past.
What do you think of collecting for advan- j
ces made the farmers ?
They will be better than they have been for
several years. Fortunately they have raised
their own supplies, provisions, etc., and we
may consider what they receive from the sale
of their cotton as clear money. This will aid
them to pay up a great deal ot their indebted
ness.
Col. Montgomery, of the firm of
J. a. M. MONTGOMERY Si SON,
who has been siejj a portiou of the summer,
his many friends and customers will be glad
to learn, is now at his post. He is still at his
old stand on bank block, but will, in a few
weeks, occupy his new and handsome store on
Main street, iu the Montgomery & Smith
block. I called on him, but be happened to he
out. It is useless to say anything in reference
to these gentlemen,as they are too ivell known
to the people of Cartersville and the-surround
ing country. Col. Montgomery has been iu
the dry goods business a long while aud
stands among our foremost merchants.
One of the actual necessities of a town, and
one upon which iis progress and business
greatly depends, is a bank, as a place seldom
secures any reputation as a business point
until one is established. Call to miud the
number of towns that have not this great
convenience, and you will notice nine-tenths
of them are at a standstill, and almost insig
nificant places.
I visited Col. J. J. Howard after leaving
Montgomery’s, of the banking house of
J. J. HOWARD Si SON.
He is one of the pioneer settlers of Bartow
county, a highly esteemed citizen, a successful
business man, and a Christian gentleman.
Messrs. W. H. Howard anu R A. Clayton,
who arc connected with lue bank, are both
efficient and accommodating business men,
always treating their patrons iu such a manner
as to merit their good will, respect and admi
ratiou. They have just purchased oue of
Herring’s patent champion burglar proof
safes, with a time lock attached. It is the
finest that has ever been brought to tue town,
weighing nearly four thousand pounds, cost
ing twelve hundred dollars. Taking my seat
iu a large, comiortable chair iu the office, 1
began to interview the colonel with the fol
lowing result:
Colouel, tell me somethiug about your trip
through the north and east; where did you go,
what did you see aud hear to interest you
most ?
I was at the great cotton spinning center of
New England, he said, in August, and had
full and free talks with managers of the lar
gest mills. They all have cotton enough to
run them until about the 10th of October,
then they will begin purchasing at the south,
and will want all the cotton that we don’t ship
to Old England and the continent of Europe,
at fair prices, which,in my opinion, will be be
tween 10 and cents. They complain of the
dirty and sandy cotton of the last crop ; say
ing that they lost money owing to the heavy
losses in weight, caused by cleaning the cot
ton. I explained to them the reason for so
much sand and dirt, growing out of the fact of
onr severe drouth, low stalksymd rain beat
ing the cotton into the ground. Spinners
intend to purchase the best prepared cotton
this year, and I now raise a warniug voice to
farmers, to pick their cotton clean of dirt,
trash, etc., and get good prices, for poor cotton
will not bring good prices this year. Mark it!
Desirous of having an expression from
Col. Howard concerning the cotton future, 1
asked him a few questions regarding the
quantity aud quality of the crop that we are
now fooking forward to with so great anxiety.
He deals in the staple pretty extensively, and
his experience has been such —having made it
a study for a number of years—that his opin
ion is worth more, probably,than any one else.
He says : I look lor a crop of cotton this
season Of six and a quarter million bales, per
haps six and a half millions. The quality will
be very much better than that oflast year; as
the fine rains of this season have caused the
staple to grow much larger and smoother, aud
manufacturers will be well pleased with the
quality.
Upon a review of my visit to the northern
states, and from a full interchange of ideas
relating to business north aud south I am ful
ly of the opiuiou, taking all in all, that the
present outlook for business for the whole
country, is the best lor fifteen years hack, as
the south has wisely grown sufficient quanti
ties of breadstuff's both for man and beast.
We will not have to draw in the west
this year for the staff of life, and the south
will, therefore, be able to hold this vast sum
of money, hithefto spent for bread, at home.
Ten years of such thrifts, especially if she will
raise her own bacon, will make her rich. Eu
rope, however, will need a large amount of the
supply of corn amd wheat of the west, and our
exports of this grain will save shipments of
gold to Europe, and hence money will be
at iHKiant at home at reasonable rates of inter
est for its usi . The future of both north and
sout h look bright indeed ; aud no one with
energy and pluck need complain of bard
times. With plenty iu and without a
speck'of war upon our horizon, we can safe.
Iv enter upon the year’s business with confi
dence of success. Aud let us as a nation ren.
der praise and thanks to Almigty God for
His temporal and diviue blessings.
After you leave Atlanta you will find no
book aud notion house that will surpass that
ot
vr. n. wikle a co ,
iu point of beauty and size, in this part of the
state, fie carries a large assortment, selected
with great care and taste, and a class ol goods
that cannot be had north of the capital city.
He does both a retail aud jobbing business,
buys from importers and manufacturers,
which enable him to compete with other places.
His trade is not confined only to the town and
county, but extends throughout this entire sec
tion—Cedartown, Roekraart, Stilcsborq and
many other places. Me makes schoolbooks
and notions a specialty. Mr Wikle is a so
cial, well iuformed, clever gentleman and has
a great many frieuds among our citizens and
the traveling public generally.
Retracing my steps a little brings me back
to Main street to the stand of
V. L. AVILLIAMS,
our crockery, tin ware and stove house iu this
branch of ihe city’s trade, and at moderate fig
ures, according to the quality of the goods de
sired. lie has just received a car load of
stoves of every description, which he guaran
tees to give satisfaction and says must be sold.
He makes roofiDg a specialty. He is a reliable
good mau. Now let us find out what
ROBERTS A COLLINS
are doing, and what they have to say for them
selves.
I saw both these gentlemen, who do the
largest and most extensive grocery business
of the town. They received ms cordially, and
I soon began to operate up,on them.
“What will your grocery trade amouut to,
annually” i asked Mr. Roberts.
or
•‘Well, we do, I believe about $<30,000
*70.000 worth.
“You do a sort of a “time” business, do you
not; advancing to the farmer.”
“Yes, but this year we have not furnished
them as many supplies as we did last season.”
“Are your collections going to be satisfacto
ry.”
I thiuk so. Wc have no fear whatever
at the present. We think they will be better
than any year prece ding this. I believe, he
continued, trade will be good. The cotton
crop is very fine, aud the merchants are feel
iug comfortable.
As I was about leaving, I was banded by
Mr. Collins a fine cigar, one of their best
brauds, for which I said “thank you,” took a
*igut, made au appreciative bend aud hastened
on to the drug establishment of
DAVID VV. CURRY'.
This house does principally a wholesale
business, occupying first floors and cellars of
the largest, handsomest, and best arranged
two story brick structure in The city, which
au elevator in the rear of the building, wtih
is a great convenience, besides saving much
time and labor. The house is 33 by 100 ft, and
presents an attractive appearance from the
railroad and the business part of the town. I
state the facts as given to me by Mr. Curry
which speaks well for him aud his good man
agement. He is comparatively a young man
having commenced business in 1875 only
seven years ago, on almost no capital, but is
now doing a business of *45,000 or *50.000 a
year. In the fall of ’Bl, he found that his
business had grown to such an extent as to re
quire more room, aud accordingly had the
house built that he now occupies,a description
of which is given above. He carries a stock of
nearly *15.000. His business, he says, is in
creasing at the rate of *IO.OOO a year, has four
clerks, not including himself, aud a part of
the time as many as six. During the fall,
winter and spring he will keep at least one
man on the road all the time. His retail bus
iness will average *IO.OOO per annum.
Mr. Cuiry kindly offered to take me through
his establishment to see its arrange
ments. The cellar of course is used for the
storage of paints,oils, varnishes,white lead,etc,
the first floor for drugs, cigars and tobacco,
the second, for goods that are boxed, barrelled
for shipment, mauy of which he sells to the
trade of north Alabama, some passing through
Rome. He makes liis purchases directly from
importers aud manufacturers. He is much
pleased with the outlook for trade.
Before leaving our merchants I will devote
a space to the furniture business of
M. H. GILRKATII A CO.,
This part of Cartel sville’s trade has not been
represented, strictly speaking, until within
the last three years, when Mr. Giireath took
hold of it, seeing that it rightly managed that
it would become a paying business. As line
a class of goods as is kept in Atlanta or any
where in the state can be lonnd at his store on
Main Street. Jle showed me some elegant sets
of furniture, that would be ornaments to the
handsomest homes. A novelty in the way of
a washstand attracted my attention, and in a
great convenience, having a pump arrange
ment attached to draw the water from below
the basin, thereby dispensing with the use of a
pitcher, which is always in the way and apt
to get broken, This is a cash house, they pur
chase from first hands, and have a large and
prosperous business. They handle a full line
of house furnishing goods, and are manufactu
rers of mattresses of any kind, from the com
monest straw to the finest curled hairs.
A. D. VANDIVERE,
must not be forgotten. He manages the “City
Bakery” in superb style, has been in the|bus
iness seven or eight years, and supplies most
of the towns within a radius of twenty-five of
thirty miles. ueatness ( of his store
baking room’is ore reason of his success in
the business. Dennis is one of the cleverest
men in town, is sober, industrious and honor"
able in ail dealings. Success to him.
Now that we have had au expression from
some of our leading business men, what they
say, do, etc. suppose we take in our pet enter
prise, the largest ot the kind iu the state and
•he one upon which our town greatly dependt
J n a matter of business,
THE GEORGIA CAR WORKS.
Want of spaee, however, will not permit me
to go into full details and do it justice? hence
will give it only a briet notice. Mr. Lucus,the
efficient superiutendant, and by the way in
ventor of the famous Lucas Palace Sleeping
Car, was at the office, and, with whom I had a
very interesting talk about the company, its
business, etc. The company was organized in
May ’Bl, and commenced operation in October
following. Since that time, up to the first of
August of the present year, they have built
and disposed of about
SIX HUNDRED CARS,
averaging something near SSOO each in val
ue, the box cars being worth about SOSO each,
the flat and coal cars about $450, making the
average at $500; we see that in less than a year,
about ten months, they had done about three
hundred and twenty thousand dollars worth
of business, and probably more, as this is
an accurate statement. Last winter they
pended about a month on account of the explo
sion cf the boiler of the engine, at which time
ten men were killed and several wounded. A
portion of the frame work was badly demol
ished, but was soon rebuilt, and a great im
provement was made on the old building and
office. The cars sent out are for southern roads
principally, and are said to be the best built by
any car factory in the south. Mr. Ford, in
spector of cars for the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, says that he was well pleased with
the work furnished them, that it was far above
an average, and that he had no trouble with
the cars from them. The materials used by the
company, lumber, castings, etc., is principaly
supplied by the state, only the springs and
wheels come from abroad. The lumber is
plentiful immediately surrounding us. and the
castings made hero by the Cartersville Foun
dry Company.
The works employ from one hundred and
forty to one hundred and fifty hands.increaslng
the population of the town some four or five
hundred, and paying out nearly five thousand
dollars per month, which is quite an addition
to the city’s trade. They cover between five
and six acres of ground, and everything pre
sents a neat and attractive appearance under
the control ot Major Lucas, who is a good
manager and a strict disciplinarian, which, as
he says, and is true, is the life and success of
every business. His men like him very much*
some having followed him from the north here,
lie says the company is in a fine condition and
that the prospects are very flattering. At some
future time there will be given a more extend
ed account of the machinery,building, etc., of
the works.
Messrs. Murray, Stevenson & Mclntyre, pro
prietors of the ..
CARTERSVILLE foundry COMPANY,
have made money and met with much success
in the foundry business, which was started by
them, about two years ago, and located their
shops near the car works. They make car
castings a speciality, supplying the Georgia
car works with most of their materials used,
grease boxes, bumpers, center plates and gen
eral car mountings. They employ about thir
ty workmen, molders and helpers. Much of
the ore from which the pig iron is made is pro
duced by the mines within a short distanco
of the town. They furnish the car works with
about seven tons, or fourteen thousand pounds
annually.
THE PYROLL'SITE MANGANESE COMPANY
Is the only one in the state and the only one
in the south that I hare ever heard of. Ihc
company was organized about lour years ago
with such men as Hon. VV m. and Charles C.
Dodge of New York at its head, with a capital
of nearlv $60,000. Thev have about one |
hundred and t wenty five men employed most
ot the time. The mine is about five miles irorn
the town, the works being located here. They ,
ship the manganese both in its natural crude 1
state and some powdered. It is used by cbem
i>ts for various purposes, also by tempting j
companies, anti a great quantity leing expoit
ed . most or it going to Europe. 1 hese last
three mentioned industries are worthy ot more
notice, and luller account will be gi\en in the
luture. when otners of our business houses, oi
which only a lew are aboye giveu, will beta- i
kea up.
