We cull the especial attention of our readers this week to the mammoth advertisement of that, mainmoth business houso of Union, " The Old Reliuble," A. H. Foster & Co. Our citizens well kuow tbut this is u self mado business concern. Cupt. A. II. Foster, the senior member of the firm, with hundreds of others met with the business reverses of the war. After the war ho and Mr. Wiikins opened up a business under the firm I name of Fosler & Wtlkins, and al! though beginning on a small scale tin* | busiiH-so grew sueeos?. fully. Several ! years ago the firm of Foster it WilLius | was strengthened by the addition of j new, young blood, in adding to the ! firm two energetic and hustliug young business men, Mr. B. F. Arthur, of the firm of Sartor & Arthur, und Mr. Goo. H. Oetzel who had been in tho service of the old firm for some years as book keeper. Later Mr. Wilkins sold his interest to tho others and since the firm name has been A. II. Foster & Co., well known as The Old lleliablc. By indomitable push and close attention to business this firm has steadily grown until the one floor formally used wus found inadequate to hold the stock and another was add d, and then another, and another, and still another, until this business his grown to be recognized us the leading business concern of our town, a id requires more floor space than any <>!her concern in town to ca< ry en :!ie immense business tley i.w h iruio, Tii -y not Oi.ly have t!i s.:. ;si.,e ion of knowing ih.it tiny h; ve ihe best business ii town, aJ b ihciucccss th.it h 'o attended th ir hon t t-lf >r.'s and bu:di;v\ i v met nods, they are in a push ion U ii-t* o.int nil their bill?, and o(. k? over3 ajoaiitage of the market and buy goods when they are at th-- lo.wst eJli, Dut their greatest source of injo\ nient lies in being able to point to i very large and thoroughly snti-di< d putronage, simply because, having nought goods when they were down, ihey always give their patrons the ad v'autage of what they have made in -he deal when prices go up. As an .ho-lration of this wo will give way a dtt.lrt point that was given us by the - liable and hustling inunuger of the ?onceru, Mr. B. F. Arthur, in a look round ovor tlie store. lie showed us, niong other things, fi large pile of miles of domestics, bought while they .vere low, the date being June, 18'JD. In this deal alone he has made many .ollurs for the farmers and oilier urchasers. He could to-day ship he cloth to Chinu at a profit of lc a card as it stumls. He -profera to soil it h?*re at home at a low nrico to tl e patrons who have assisted in niakii g lie business what it is. \V? ennlH write columns about this firm, but j they aro so well known that to say more would be superfluous, and any thing we could say would not add to their crown of laurels as a business concern.
