THEMA	Beschreibung
TEXT	Among the industries of the City of Pittsburgh to which this work is devoted, there is scarcely any one class outside of the great Iron and Glass trade which deserves more liberal notice than that of the general Boot and Shoe trade. So great is the competition, that greater energy and enterprise are essential to success, and in this connection we desire to call attention to the excellent store and stock of Mr. Peter Soffel, located on Sycamore street in the 32d Ward. This business was started by the present proprietor in 1861, with comparatively small capital, but which has been very materially increased by the liberal patronage he has constantly leceived since that time. He carries a stock ranging from 2,500 to 4,000, embracing the most desirable and reliable goods for Men, Women, Boys, Misses or Children, and his prices are lower than his competitors. The length of time Mr. Soffel has been in business has enabled him to establish an enviable reputation for fair and square dealing, and given him great popularity in his ward. He was twice a member of the Borough Council, also School Director previous to this part of the city being incorporated in the city limits. Mr. Soffel was born in Germany in 1838, and came to this city in 1854, where he enjoys a flourishing trade and the esteem and confidence of a large circle of friends and patrons.
