miners of the Tri-State field. They not only enjoy a substantial patronage from the citizens of the city, but have customers in all sections of the country within a trading radius of Galena. This business was established about 35 or 40 years ago by the late B. S. Moore, father of the present active head of the firm.

  Occupying a commodious building and centrally located at 408 Main Street, stands one of the best known as well as one of the most substantial retail houses of the city. Daniels' Big Racket Store was opened for business eleven years ago. From the first the house was given liberal support, and with the passing of time it developed into one of the foremost retail houses of its type in the district. Here the housewife can go far toward furnishing all the little details required in the home, to say nothing of
the numerous "handy" things and novelties and racket goods of every kind. It really must require much versatility on the part of the management to keep their stock up to the requirements of their large list of patrons. The store is modern in its appointments, the stock is neatly arranged and the interior presents an attractive appearance. This firm is composed of G. W. and V. M. Daniels. They are both widely known throughout this section and have many friends in all walks of life.
