ENTERPRISE AND ENERGY. —_s—____ SOME SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS FIRMS. ——-_-__ CATERING TO THE PUBLIC WANTS eee eee Who They Are and the Methods They Pursue. seen The stories of the lives of successful business men are as interesting in their way as are those of authors, soldiers, and statesmen. In fact they are more so tothe general reader, for from them he ean gather points which will be valuable in the gonduct of his own life work. ‘This is essentially a business age. While one person aspires to be eminent in law or litera- ture or politics, a thousand have an ambition to be successful merchants,and the study of the lives of men who have succeeded in busi- ness is of more practical benefit, is more help- ful to the men whose desires are in this direc- tion, than are those of any public man. To-day Tae Stax presents to its readers the fourth number of its series of sketches, descrip- tive of Washington's prominent business men, nd no one can be otherwiee than interested nd instructed by a perusal of their beginning, ruggles and final successes, To the young man just entering npon his career, they form as a whole a veritable text-book, and in readin: them he can glean what is best from each, and keeping his purpose ever in view he can hardly fail to wim success even though he has to work hard and wait very patiently for its coming. The sketches of the lives of these men ‘vm an interesting chapter in the history of the pro- gress of Washington. Their lives are closely intertwined with the city’s growth, and as a body they have always been identified with every movement having for its object the fur- therance of her interests. They are some of the solid business men of the capital—men of lity, energy and integrity, behevers in the sof “printer's ink,” who embrace every tunity to let people know that they have ot retired from business and don't intend to. Washington may well be proud of the men who are written of to-day: they have done much for her and for themselves. and the people should not forget their enterprise when jas. go outon a shopping expedition. HOOE, BRO. AND CO. There are few names better known in the dry goods business in this Distgict than that of Hooe. Only the memories of the very oldest citizens can go bact to the time when the se- nior member of the firm, at least, was not } inbusinesshere. After long and honorable er Hooe, Bro. & « F strect, still i retain their place among the _ first-class business establishments of the city.

The location of Dalton & Strickland’s store is, perhaps, known to as many people who want good shoes as any other shoe store in the city. Situated on one of the busiest squares of busy Pennsylvania avenue, is a fitting success: the old store from whi More than tury agoa Mr. Lacy started in the shoe business on the north- west corner of Pennsyl- vania avenue and Sth street.

Atthe age of sixteen, after re- cerving a public school education, he entered the shoe store of Harmon Burns as a clerk, and for eight vears served in that cap: Then he was admitted to partnership, and, ten years later. r the death of Mr. Burns, he’ pur- chased the remaining interest, and was, there- fore, sole proprietor, and so continued for ten years.
