Among the reputable business liouses of the city, mention must be made in our review of the book and stationary establishment presided over by the subjects of our sketch. The business was founded in 1888 by Mr. Moore and three ycars later Mr. Wetmore became a partner. They occ'upy a store 22x80 in si,e, three floors and basement, and their stock embraces books of all kinds, books of science, of history, poetry and fiction, books of reference, books for one and all as well as an elegant line of stationary, wall paper and holiday goods. The second floor is specially fitted up for wall paper in which line Jhey carry the largest, haridsomest and most complete stock in the county. They do paper hanging and decorating and are at present doing a job for Mr. J. L. Babcock that is a sample of perfect and artistic workmanship. They also own another store at No. 50 State street, which is under the management of Miss Walton and where, in addition to the other stock, a f uil in:: ol school books can be found. Seyen men are t-mployed and the volume of business transacted in the wall paper line is probably the largest enjoyed by any similar firm in the city. Mr. Moore was born in this state and is a gentleman respected lor his many good qualities as a man and a citi.en. Mr. Wetmore came from New York to Ann Arbor in 1864 as pastor of the First Presbyterian church and afterwards spent several years in the west.
