Haryey and opened a store, The firm under the name of Wimmer Harvey, laid in about two thousand dollars worth of stoyes and general hardware, and began business in quiet kind of a way, in their rather out way stand on South Broadway. At first not much was heard and their competitors, when the firm was mentioned greeted the firm became better known their name with a pitying smile. "But as name was often heard and always cou pled with words of hearty endorsement Business grew apace until no drummer who entered our gates considered his business done till he had called at Wimmer Harvey's. The drummers said "they always A few days ago the KANSAN met one of these 'Knights of the grip" on South Broadway, who was hurrying along with a half-open order book, in his hand and a regular 13x7 smile on his face, and forthwith stopped him when the tollowing dialogue took place: "Look here, a'int you a drummer?"

Entering the door he was met with a hearty "howdy, can I do anything for you to-day." "You bet you can, just tell how it is you are always in a good humor, for while everyone else has a growl of some kind coming you are ready for a laugh. And them, another thing, just explain how you come to fill out one thousand dollar orders while lots of people say business is dull. "How do you know thousand dollar order' he demanded." Well because I met drummer up here with a grin on his face like a cracked pumpkin, Mr. Wimmer laughed then said: you see its this way.

I find the people of Pittsburg to be the most generous buyers, always looking for first class goods and somehow I never hear any complaints on Just then a customer came in, and after she had departed Mr Wimmer invited a scrutiny of his stock and as he trayersed the room the KANSAN saw famous.

Heaped to the very ceiling were the close packed shelves creaking under their load of builders materials and house furnishings and on the floor a great heap of miners tools.
