19 Sep 1891--SPECIAL EDITION ABOUT THE TOWN OF HIGBEE--(This is another one where the beginning is cut off) Seven years ago he began here with a lot of five and ten cent counter goods. The people patronized him and his trade grew to such an extent that in less than three years he was compelled to find a larger house in which to do business, and he removed to 217 Reed street. With more room more goods were ordered, the trade increased and his store became one of the most popular in Moberly. The stock is so varied that there is scarcely an article used in the household that he cannot supply. He has queensware, glassware, tinware, toilet and manicure sets, chamber sets, plush goods, hosiery, towels, napkins, fine soaps, toys and all kinds of articles for the children, baskets, chairs, pictures, jewelry, and a thousand things that cost but a nickel or a dime, and hundreds of articles that cost a good many dollars. Everybody can be suited and there is scarcely anything but what is carried in stock by Hammerschmidt and sold at ridiculously low prices. 19 Sep 1891--SPECIAL EDITION ABOUT THE TOWN OF HIGBEE--A NOTED MERCHANT TAILOR--Stands in the Front Rank Among the Business Men of Moberly.--More than thirty years ago Robert Little, the noted merchant taylor of Moberly, came to America from Scotland. For fifteen years he lived in Canada, and then came to Monroe county in this state where he resided four years. In 1874 he was invited to Moberly, some of the progressive and farsighted hoping that they might induce him to locate in Moberly, and they were successful. Mr. Little came and took a look at the city and, being a man of keen business instincts, he saw at a glance the advantages of the place, and immediately opened up a tailoring establishment on Clark street. >From that to the present time Mr. Little has prospered. As a citizen and a business man he stands among the first, and not a soul in Moberly has ever had cause to regret that he located in the city. On the contrary, the entire citizenship of Randolph county are glad to claim him as a resident of Moberly. In 1884 Mr. Little erected an elegant and substantial two-story brick building with a plate glass front, both floors of which he now occupies with his establishment, the lower room being used as a salesroom and the cutting department, and the second or upper room for the workmen, some eight or ten of whom are constantly employed. Mr. Little has made tailoring a life-work and thoroughly understands every detail of the business. His son, J. H. Little, has been trained to the business and is now one of the most efficient cutters in the state, and no suit is sent out that has not been under his careful supervision while being made. It is no wonder that Mr. Little has succeeded so well in Moberly. He has always carried a large stock of piece goods of the latest patterns, and excluding St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, he has always done a larger tailoring business than any man in any city or town in the state of Missouri, and his trade is still increasing. Facts speak louder than words. He has confidence in the city of Moberly and Moberly has confidence in him. He has been a member of the city council and served the people faithfully and well. The profits from his business have year by year been invested in Moberly enterprises, he being at present president of the Moberly Brick, Tiling and Earthenware company. He and his son are both upright, conscientious and honest gentlemen in all their dealings, both public and private, and as citizens are enterprising and public spirited. 19 Sep 1891--SPECIAL EDITION ABOUT THE TOWN OF HIGBEE--LIKED BY ALL--A Thoroughly Educated Physician Who is Building Up a Large Practice.
