I searched on GenealogyBank to see if I could find anything on this store.  The closest I came was a Mahaffey & Wells carpet & furniture with 3 stores, including one in Zanesville.  I don't know if it will help or not, but I'm attaching a copy of their August 1890 ad.

I can't find anything on it. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WELLS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
