| TEXT | In a history of the advance and development of Pittsburgh, with reference to commercial affairs, the Wholesale Grocery trade must always occupy a very prominent position, as having conduced in no small degree to the present mercantile importance of this community. Among those houses whose extended transactions and high standing entitle them to more than casual mention is that of Messrs. Carter Brothers & Co., Wholesale Grocers and Coffee Roasters, making specialties of Teas and Tobaccos. Established Jan. 1, 1867, by John A. Carter and David A. Carter under the above style, the "Co." being nominal, the firm soon took a conspicuous place for its energy and the rapid increase of its business. Commencing with but a comparatively small capital, the house at the present time carries an average stock of from 40.000 to 50.000, while their yearly sales will compare favorable with that of any other house in the same line of business. The ample business prernises of the firm are situated as above, and consist of one large building, 35x114 feet, with steam elevators for hoisting, and steam engine for grinding and wasting coffee. Nine hands are employed in the various departments, the trade of the house extending through Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. The partners are natives of Washington Co., Pa., came to Pittsburgh 12 years ago, and since that time have taken an active part in promoting the general advantages of the city, and have gained a reputation for themselves that entitles them to the esteem and consideration of the community. |
