INDUSTRIAL AND SOUVENIR EDITION OF THE ADVANCE Monticello, Ark., Tuesday, Debember 17, 1907 Page 4, Columns 1 & 2 Ed Spencer Among the important mercantile concerns of the town must be mentioned that of Ed Spencer, who runs one of the most up-to-date stores to be found in this part of the state. Ed Spencer was born at Lacy, 16 miles south of Monticello, September 5, 1859, and was the eldest son of Geo. S. and Eliza (Daniel) Spencer. During his boyhood days he obtained such rudimentary education as he could from the country schools of the day and supplemented this by one year's attendance at the Monticello school. At the age of 23 years Mr. Spencer came to Monticello to seek his fortune and began his career here as clerk in the store of Harris, Cotham & Wood, where he worked six years at a meagre salary. Having served his apprenticeship in this line, Mr. Spencer then opened a small stock of dry goods in connection with his aunt, Mrs. Lucy Jackson, but at the end of a few months, the firm of Cotham & Everett, successors to his former employers, having offered him a good position and an interest in the business, and having agreed to take his stock of goods off his hands at invoice prices, he accepted their proposition and went to them. After remaining with them for three years, he sold out to his partners and took emploment with the firm of McCloy & Trotter, where he worked for a year and then opened up an exclusive shoe business in partnership with his brother George, under the firm name of Ed and George Spencer. This arrangement was terminated at the end of three years and Mr. Spencer formed a partnership with B. A. Hardy and Walter Lambert under the stlye of Spencer, Hardy & Company. After running this way for five years, Mr. Spencer bought the interests of the other members of the firm and has been running since as Ed Spencer, dealer in dry goods. He now has one of the largest and best assorted stocks of dry goods to be found in any town of this size. He does a large furnishing business and a large cash business. He makes a specialty of ladies' fine dress goods and at all seasons carries a large and well selected line of the most fashionable fabrics. He also handles an unusually good line of ready-made clothing and gentlemen's furnishings and is the only dealer in this city selling the well known and hard-to-beat Hamilton-Brown shoes. Mr. Spencer's annual business wil average around $50,000 and last year it exceeded that amount. Mr. Spencer is a steward in the Methodist church and a member of the W. O. W. lodge. He is a member of the city council and a stockholder and director in the Monticello Bank & Trust Company, and is a valued and respected citizen. He married Misss Alice Harris and they have four children, two boys and two girls, the eldest daughter, Miss Allene, being now a student in the State University. Carolyn

INDUSTRIAL AND SOUVENIR EDITION OF THE ADVANCE Monticello, Ark., Tuesday, December 17, 1907 Page 4, Columns 3 & 4 Geo. F. Spencer Geo. F. Spencer was born at Lacy, Ark., March 19, 1865. His early advantages were very limited and up to the age of 16 years he had no schooling except the three months free schools which prevailed in the country at that time. When he was 17 years old he contracted to work a crop for his brother Ed, the compensation for which was to be a year's schooling at Monticello, after receiving which he returned to the farm and remained there until he was twenty-one. On becoming of age, Mr. Spencer took what money he had been able to save for the last four years and went to Smith's Commercial College at Lexington, Ky., where he took a course in bookkeeping and telegraphy, his intention being at that time to enter the railroad service. This, however, through force of circumstances he was prevented from doing. On coming back to Monticello late in the Spring of 1887, at a dull season of the year, being unable to procure a better job, he worked through the summer for Ed Wines at the depot for a salary of $6.00 per month, with the intention of using this as a stepping stone to a position with the railroad, but in the f Fall he was offered a job with D. A. Kimpel at Dermott and accepted. After remaining there for a short time he came back to Monticello and took charge of a ladies' furnishing goods store which his aunt, Mrs. L. F. Jackson had opened in connection with her millinery store. Mrs. Jackson dying soon afterward, Mr. Spencer borrowed money, bought both stocks of goods and paid for them in about three months time. He has been in business here practically all the time since. A short time after going into business for himself, Mr. Spencer formed a partnership with B. F. Prewitt. They were merchandising on the corner where W. E. Harvill's store now stands and were laying the foundation for a prosperous business when the disastrous fire of 1890 visited Monticello and completely wiped them out. As Mr. Spencer expresses it, he got out with $100, a bunch of keys and his credit. After this misfortune he clerked a while for E. Hoover. He then conducted a shoe store in connection with his brother Ed, for two years, after which he formed a partnership with Ed Spencer and J. M. Waddell to open a business at Morrell in Ashley County. He personally conducted this business for three years, then sold out and came back to this place, where he has been merchandising ever since most of the time being connected with the dry goods firm of Ed Spencer. In February, 1906, he opened a grocery store on south Main Street, and the measure of his success with which he is meeting, is shown by the fact that the first year he did about $44,000 worth of business. He carries a large and select stock of both staple and fancy groceries. His special pride is his flour, the "Thelma" brand, which is put up for his individual use by a milling company in Missouri and is named after his little girl. Mr. Spencer is a steward in the M. E. Church and superintendent of the Sunday school. He is also a member of the K. of P. lodge. He married Miss Pauline Bordeaux in November 1890. They have three children living, two boys and one girl and one boy dead.

INDUSTRIAL AND SOUVENIR EDITION OF THE ADVANCE Monticello, Ark., Tuesday, December 17 1907 Page 4, Columns 4 & 5 John B. Wilson John B. Wilson, manager of the Drew Furniture Company, was born in Tipton County, Tennessee, August 11, 1848 and moved with his parents to this county in November, 1853. Mr. Wilson received most of his education in the schools which Mr. A. J. McQuiston taught in this county during the years following the Civil War. In 1871, however, Mr. Wilson went to Due West, South Carolina and entered Erskine College in which institution he spent two years. He returned home in July 1873 and adopted the occupation of farming, following this worthy calling for about ten years. He moved to Monticello in 1883 and has been in business of various kinds in this town since. He embarked in the furniture business about 1881 and since that time has been giving his attention principally to this line of business. Mr. Wilson is now manager of the J. B. Wilson Furniture Co., one of the two leading furniture stores of the town. He is thoroughly acquainted with this line of business and under his management, the company is enjoying a good trade. He was married Sept. 11, 1873 to Miss Eliza Wilson of this county, and they have six living children, two boys and four girls. Mr. Wilson is a leading member and elder of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. He is also a member of the Knights and Ladies of Honor lodge and is a respected and highly esteemed citizen.
