Alamo Lumber Company

John Sutherland,
manager

With millions of capital back of it and yard and mill connections from San Antonio to the Sabine, this concern occupies a commanding position in the lumber trade. Its Bay City business began with a stock of a million feet nearly a year ago, and under the able management of John Sutherland, it has kept a large force of hands almost constantly unloading lumber from the cars ever since.

Walker's Furniture Store

About the first of the year Wm. Walker opened a new furniture store in Bay city, and the man and his goods and his methods have proven so popular that he has been obliged to build a new house along side of his other and now has three large rooms packed full of goods and he keeps them moving--some going out and others constantly arriving to take their place. See his half page ad.

Sisk & Son, General Merchants

A few years ago the junior member of this firm opened a stock of racket goods in a room 16x22. He was energetic and accommodating, and his business grew and expanded till it became necessary for his father to join him; they took a large store, soon doubled its size, and now they occupy this large building and another in the next block. Having been extensive rice growers themselves, they command a large trade among rice growers as well as with the general public. Read their ad. and give them a share of your business.
