high esteem for Me. srs Churchwell
Brothers. They are fine men, and
successful business men, who merit
the entire confidence of the public.
Our good will goes to them with the
business. I hope that our fr'ends
and our customers will extend to
them the same good will and confi
dence which they have always so
generously extended to us.”
It is expected that when the trans
action goes into effect, the 1 rge-t
wholesale dry goods concern in the
South will result. The stock of
both firms is now in the neighbor
hood of $600,000, and when the
offices and stock of Churchwell
Brothers are moved into the Cov
ington building on January first, it
is planned to greatly increase the
sales force of the present organiza
tion. The entire force. of the
Covington Company, one of the
most efficient in the trade, may hr
retained.
A substantial increase in th? vol
ume of business done is also expect
ed, due to the more advantageous
location, which is in the heart of
the shipping center of the city. Mr.
J. H. Churchwell predicted that
within a short time the;,’ would be
doing an annual business of $2-
000,000.
The Churchwell brothers came to
Jacksonville from Cordele, Ga., in
1922. They' had been engaged in
the jobbing business there for
twelve years. Since coming here
their growth has been so rapid that
they are now ranked among the
largest concerns and of the highest
grade in the East.
