in his own building on Hewett Street, next door to post office, where his

of men’s furnishings, such as hats, caps, neckwear, underwear, pants, overalls,
shoes and ready-made clothing for men’s and youth’s wear, obtained from
manufacturers in New York,, Chicago and Milwaukee, with prices of men’s suits
from $6 up. Special orders are also taken for tailor-made suits, keeping sample
books of the suitings on hand from one of the large house of Chicago, which
turns out first-class work in that line, with prices from $10 up. The house
carries a good stock in season of fur overcoats and rubber goods, also handles
shoes in the leading makes as well as rubbers, overshoes, mitts, gloves, etc.
In addition to a good city trade he has a large trade from the surrounding
country, covering a radius of 10 or 15 miles in nearly all directions. The
business was established forty-two years ago by the proprietor, Mr. Emery
burley, who is one of the pioneer business men and resident of the city and
formerly had long experience in practical blacksmithing, carrying on that branch
for fifteen years. He afterward re-engaged in the clothing business continuing
for over ten years, after which he commenced the manufacture of hubs and spokes,
staves and lumber, carrying on the same for fourteen years when he sold out his
interest, owing to the lack of white oak timber. About one year ago last March
he re-established his present business, since which time his trade has been
steadily increasing, having good prospects for the fall trade.
