Listers, this is a rather long article I found with the Google News Advanced Archives searches of the Jeannette Dispatch. (I had to retype it due to the cut & paste difficulties.) I'll follow up later and share with you additional info I know about Mr. Bradley. But I am MOST interested now in learning about Mr. Walters. Can anyone contribute anything about him? Thanks, Bella The Jeannette Dispatch May 24, 1892 page 3. â Bradley & Walters The firm of Bradley and Walters, of Second Street is comparatively a new one in Jeannette, they having located here in September 1891. Having read much of the phenomenal glass city called Jeannette, which is famous the world over as containing the largest glass factories in the world and as having grown to its present proportions with a rapidity which rivals the greatest efforts of western cities, they naturally concluded that this must be a flourishing community with bright prospects. Mr. Walters came to this place from Gerbharts, Somerset County, where he had been engaged in business for eighteern years and was regarded as one of the most substantial men in the place. He served for a number of years as postmaster in the town and held other positions of trust. Mr. Bradley came here from Confluence, Somerset County, where for fourteen years he was engaged very extensively in the lumber business. He was regarded there as being one of the most energetic citizens of the place and held such offices as school director, councilman, etc and was for a number of years burgess in the town. Both these gentlemen are public spirited and had a very thoughtful business training before coming to Jeannette. Upon coming here they decided to embard in the grocery business. They realized the possibilities of the place and invested their money. They did not go into the business with the expectation that within a few weeks they would be handling all the groceries used in Jeannette, but being conservative they were satisfied to conduct their enterprise on strict business principles. Time has shown the wisdom of their ways and they now have a trade that is amongst the best in the city, their wagon is always on the road and their motto is good goods and reasonable prices. Their stock is new and they number among their patrons many of the best people of the town. We predict for them a bright future in Jeannette.â
