New Wool House.
We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the fact of the establishment of a new wool house in the city known as Reynolds Reed Co. The individual members of the firm are J. P. Reynolds, Horace Reed, John Reed and Bowen Brothers.
Mr. Reynolds has been Secretary of the Illinois State Agricultural Society for the past nine years, is well and favorably known to nearly every wool grower in the State as indeed he is to almost our entire farming population and needs no further commendation at our hands. Bowen Bros are well known in mercantile circles as one of the most enterprising and successful of the business firms of this business city while Messrs. Reed the other members of the firm are also well known here as men of wealth enterprise and business integrity. With such men in charge of the new firm cannot fail to command public confidence and a fair share of our growing wool trade.
