| TEXT | Among all who are engaged in this line of business on this busy thoroughfare none are more worthy of consideration than the subjects of this sketch. This business was first established by Mr. J. S. Foster on Ninth Avenue, during the year 1853, where it was continued about fifteen years, at the end of which time he erected the present structure, which has been continuously occupied by them down to date. The business house is ample and commodious, and every facility is provided for the accommodation of customers and polite and attentive assistants to show goods and attend to their wants. The store is furnished in a high order of modern style, and its attractive appearance is further enhanced by a free use of ornamental counters and show-cases. The goods are tastefully displayed and embrace a full line of dry goods and gent's furnishing goods, the different kinds of which are too great in number for enumeration here. J. W. and C. O. Foster, sons of the elder Mr. Foster, have conducted this important business during the last ten years, their father having retired from active work in connection therewith. A very heavy retail trade is done and a stock having a real value of about twenty-two thousand dollars is carried. The elder Mr. Foster was born in Boston, and the young; gentlemen are natives of this city. This firm has succeeded because ita members are men of energy, enterprise and honest business character. |
