HARVEY BROS.
Harvey Bros, prominent dealers in dry goods, boots, shoes, caps and clothing, commenced business in 1878, having come here from Lettsville, Louisa county. When they came they brought their stock of goods from Lettsville with them, and added to it largely on their arrival here. For a short time they carried groceries, but this line has been dropped. Their building is situated on the corner of Washington and Second streets, and is replete with a select stock of dry goods, boots and shoes of the best manufacture, hats and caps of the latest styles, and gentleman's clothing. They carry a stock of about $9,000 worth of goods, and do a business of about $15,000 in volume per annum.
