S. B. JONES, 309 Fulton street, established 1864, now em- ploys from 75 to 100 persons, and manufactures to the amount of $50,000 annually, with annual sales of $350,000.

S. WECHSLER & BRO .- Samuel and Herman Wechsler en- tered the mercantile business together in 1868, with a moder- ate capital. After occupying several different locations on Fulton street, they are now at 293. Their stoek consists of dry goods, manufactured dresses, cloaks, underwear, etc., which are made up for the firm, under its immediate direc- tion. The capital employed in business is $200,000, and some 75 persons are retained in the house, besides the services of 200 sewing women outside.

On October 17, 1864, he was united by marriage to Miss E. Matilda, youngest daughter of Dr. Robert Waters, of New Utrecht, L. I. There were born to this marriage six children -three of whom are now living-the eldest a son, and two daughters; J. E., the son; daughters, Jessie M. and Mabel M.

In 1866, he became a resident of Brooklyn, and engaged in the floral business adjoining Greenwood Cemetery, his pres- ent place of business. It is, perhaps, needless to add that Mr. Weir has been eminently successful as a florist. The thou- sands upon thousands of people who annually visit that beauti- ful "city of the dead," Greenwood, and who pass Mr. Weir's charming conservatory, redolent with the perfumes of the rarest exotics and native flowers, find this one of the chief attractions of the Cemetery, which never fails to elicit the warmest admiration. From this conservatory, also, comes a large number of the exquisite wreaths and beautifully wrought designs which are used on funeral occasions, and which embellish many of the tombs in the great Cemetery near by.

In the arrangement of the plants in Mr. Weir's conserva- tory one can not fail to observe the artistic skill in which

FLORISTS.

JAMES WEIR, JR., proprietor of one of the most extensive and beautiful conservatories or green-houses that adorn the grounds adjacent to Greenwood Cemetery, was born in England, October 17, 1843. His parents were James and Ann Weir, who came to this country in the year 1844, when the subject of this sketch was scarcely one year ok, locating at Bay Ridge, L. J. His father and younger brothers are florists and nurserymen, possessing a practical, thorough and tasteful knowledge of that business. Young Weir attended the public schools of Brooklyn, and when old enough, he on- tered the Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute of that city, where he acquired a good and useful education.

He inherited from his father a natural love of the delight- ful occupation in which he is now engaged. His taste seemed to assimilate him with the work of cultivating flowers; accordingly, after leaving school he engaged with his father and brothers in their business, where he continned until the year 1861, when he began business for himself.

each plant is so placed in relation to another as to produce the most exquisite harmony of color and form, enhanced by the fine arrangement of the grand center, composed of rock work. Connected with his conservatory is a large florist's establishment, luxuriant with tastefully arranged beds of blooming plants and flowering shrubs.

In politics Mr. Weir has always been a democrat, and has generally taken an active interest in the success of his party. As a citizen, he is held in high esteem for the possession of those qualities of head and heart which naturally give men an elevated position in the community in which they live. In recognition of these qualities, he was elected a member of the Board of Aldermen of Brooklyn, two successive terms, 1880-1881 and 1882-1883. In 1883, he was honored with the position of Chairman of the Board, which renders him, in absence of the Mayor, Acting Mayor of the city.

Mr. Weir's religious sentiments attach him to the Episco- pal church, the church of his father, under whose teach- ings he came from his childhood, his youth, to his manhood, and to which he is strongly attached.

RICHARD SHANNON'S GREENHOUSES.

RICHARD SHANNON, Florist .- We present, above, a view of the beautiful greenhouses of Mr. Shannon, on Fort Hamilton avenue, Flatbush, opposite the eastern entrance to Greenwood cemetery.

Mr. Shannon is a native of Ireland, and was born in 1837. He came to Boston in 1856, with a good knowledge of flori- culture, and, after spending six months as assistant gardener on the estate of the late Col. Thomas Handasyd Perkins, he became gardener for the Hon. Charles Francis Adams, at Quincy. He remained in Mr. Adams' employ till that gentleman sailed for England as Minister to the Court of St. James, in the spring of 1861. Thence he removed to New- port, R. I., where he was engaged in the same pursuit for about three years, when he came to New York, and in 1863-'4 made Brooklyn his home, at first dealing in flowers and plants at Fulton and Washington streets, but in 1865 removed to Greene avenue, near Franklin, where he erected a small greenhouse, leasing at the same time, with the privilege of purchase, ten city lots adjacent. The 7th and the north part of the 9th Wards (which four or five years later was divided into the 21st and 23d Wards) had just begun to grow at this time, and they have continued to grow ever since. New houses were constantly going up and requiring the laying out of gardens and grounds, and the people who inhabited these houses were enterprising and cultured families, to whom a good florist was as necessary as a good grocer. Mr. Shannon prospered; the single greenhouse multiplied to six, and his services and those of his men were in constant demand. In 1878 he determined to extend his business by erecting greenhouses opposite the eastern entrance to Green- wood, then recently opened. He secured a full acre of ground and has erected one building after another till now he has more than 10,000 square feet under glass, and has one of the most complete floral establishments in the vicinity of Greenwood. He has already many patrons among the lot owners, and it is a marked characteristic of the man that those who employ him once are very sure to continue to be his patrons. His collections of flowers, shrubs, and tropical

plants, both at Greenwood and at his Greene avenue houses, are very large and of great variety, and while not neglecting other plants and flowers he has given special attention to per- fecting his collection of fine roses and the best tropical plants.

The grounds of the well-known florist, JAMES DEAN, are situated at Third ave. and Sixty-sixth st., and comprise nearly three acres. In front is Mr. Dean's handsome resi- dence, and at the rear his eight large greenhouses, each 150 feet long, with boiler-house and all necessary appendages,

including a wind-mill and tower for raising water. At the side are numberless cold-frames, handsome flower-beds and smooth lawn. The green-houses are well stocked with plants and flowers of all kinds, but Mr. Dean's specialty is roses, of which he has innumerable varieties, and on which he has taken many first premiums at New York Exhibitions. His roses are so well known that he has a large trade in Boston, New York and Philadelphia. He now employs eight men and two wagons in his business, which he commenced in 1865 on a small scale. Mr. Dean served in the war of the Rebellion in the 72d N. Y. Regt., under General Hooker, and was mustered out of the service with small means; but, by his industry and application to business he has built up and maintains a large and profitable trade.

GROCERS, AND DEALERS IN TEAS, COFFEES AND SPICES.

There seems to be now no means of ascertaining who was the first man who embarked in the grocery trade in Brooklyn. It was the early custom for Brook- lynites to lay in their family supplies "across the water," as New York was familiarly referred to. In 1809, John C. Middleton kept a grocery at the junction of New and Old Ferry sts., and it is presmm- able that he was thus engaged for some time afterward. Isaac Weeks and Teunis Johnson were prominent Brooklyn groeers in 1812, and Jacob Gurrison and J. && S. Schenck in 1817. In the last mentioned year, John G. Pray opened a grocery at the corner of Main and Middagh streets, and another was established by Abraham D. Ostrander near the Navy Yard. Wil- liam R. Dean was added to the list of those engaged in this trade in 1820, and was still keeping a grocery, at the corner of Fulton and Sands streets, in 1828. A grocery was opened by Messrs. Hicks & Remsen in 1824, and another the following year by Messrs. Jones « Elbert. In 1827, the latter firin was sneceeded by Henry Elbert. About this time the firm of Conklin && Tuthill was well known and it gave place to that of Raynor de Conklin in 1829. In connection with his old " stage house," near Fulton Ferry, early in the pre- sent century, John Bedell had a grocery. On the cor-

ner of Fulton street and a narrow lane, now called Eliza- beth street, a site which was cleared by a fire in 1814, a temporary structure was crected, which was occupied as a grocery until about 1832, when it gave place to the brick building, since known as Carll's stables. In the lower part of Fulton street, next door to Downing's " stage and livery stable," was the liquor and grocery store of Old Mr. Evert Barkeloo, which was also the office of the trustees of the town of Brooklyn, of which body Mr. Barkeloo was clerk during a portion of the first quarter of the present century. Upon the pur- chase of the old Rapelye house by Mr. Abraham Remsen, the latter tore it down and used a portion of the stone in the erection upon the same site of a briek and stone dwelling and store where he dealt in gro- eeries and other domestie merchandise. The site of that early store is now occupied by the splendid build- ing of the Long Island Safe Deposit Company. On the corner of Fulton and Hicks sts. was once the grocery of D. Pell, a low, one-story-and-a-half building. Passing up Fulton street, beyond the old Hieks mansion, another old-time grocery was approached. Here Mrs. Thomas kept " green groceries, candy and yeast," and was sue- ceeded in the same business by Mrs. Flowers. On the easterly corner of Fulton street and Poplar place (then known as "Buckbee's Alley), was the grocery and general store of Mr. Buckbee. Seventy years, or longer, ago, Adam Lippincott, and later, Jenkins ( Lippincott kept a grocery on Fulton street, between Prospect and Sands streets.

A well-remembered grocery was that of Peter Cow- enhoven, located on Fulton strect, near the corner of Cranberry, and kept in a building which had formerly been occupied as a paint-shop by old Matthew Hall. Two doors above Sands street, on the easterly side of Fulton, was the residence and grocery store of High Sheriff John Dean, father of Colonel Joseph Dean. Dean was a prominent politician in his time and was appointed sheriff in March, 1813. "Dcan's Corners," as the locality was generally called, was a great rendez- vous for business and political gossip. A few doors further up the street was the grocery of Isuac Moser. An early landmark in that part of the town was Vun Winkle's tavern and grocery on the north-east corner of Main and Water streets, and Peter Snyder kept a gro- cery on the south-east corner of the same streets. In 1815 there was a two-story frame grocery at the nortlı- west corner of Front and Main streets, in which ex- Mayor Edward Copeland is said to have commenced business, and on the north-east corner of the same streets there was another grocery. A grocery was opened in Williamsburgh by John Skillman in 1818. The groceries of the early days differed materially from those of the present. Indeed, it is doubtful if many of the earlier ones were really groceries, pure and simple, the demands of the trade of that period necessitating the keeping of a more or less extensive and varied stock

of general merchandise, and the stores were more like the groceries in small towns of the present day than the large groceries to be seen everywhere in Brooklyn, involving the investment of large capital and the earry- ing of stoeks of goods which in some cases aggregate several-fold the combined stock of the groceries above alluded to.

AND WHOLESALE GROCERS.

It must be seen that the history of the business of handling produee in Kings county must be to a consid- erable degree coineident with that of the grocery trade. It had its beginning with the beginning of civilization in Brooklyn and vicinity, and assumed tan- gible shape long since, when Brooklyn was but a mere village. The old Brooklyn markets are elsewhere

referred to. As elsewhere, produce was early handled at the general stores, and every merchant as well as every grocer of the earlier period of the commercial history of the city was in some sense a produce dealer. A few facts of interest in this connection, concerning several dealers in prodnee, flour, feed and kindred merchandise at this time, are given below. George W. Mumby, wholesale dealer in flour and grain, 140 Liv- ingston street, began business in 1846 at 59 Fulton st.,

He is a member of the New York Produce Exchange, and enjoys the distinction of having been the first man to tap the Brooklyn city water works, May 24th, 1858. Jacob E. Colyer, 46-50 Flatbush ave., dealer in flour, feed, hay, etc., was born in Jerusalem, L. I., in 1839, and established his business in Brooklyn in 1859. Henry Glasser, 86 De Bevoise st., Brooklyn, E.

chief of artillerists of the 2d Division, N. G., S. N. Y., under Gen. Dakin, in 1876, and as a member of the Brook- lyn Board of Education, 1878-'81. His business was es- tablished in 1861 at the foot of North Second street, and subsequently removed to its present locality. William K.

business in Brooklyn, at 103 Flatbush ave., in 1865. John HI. Fort is a member of the firm of Marsh, White & Co., long prominently identified with the grain and milling interests of Brooklyn. This firm began busi- ness in New York in 1868, and were succeeded by two of their oldest and most trusted elerks, John H. Fort and George T. Bowler, who are members of the firmn as present organized and which retains the old style of Marsh, White & Co., its business being located at the foot of North Fifth st., Brooklyn, E. D., to which

The firm of Johnston Brothers was formed on May 1, 1882, consisting of James and Oliver Johnston, each of whom had been in the business for about ten years; previous to that date had started and operated stores at different times and places throughout Brooklyn. Their present principal store at 553 and 555 Fulton street, is the largest of its kind in the city, having a frontage of 50 feet on Fulton street, 50 feet on De Kalb avenue, and 100 feet depth. They have also a branch

In these stores they give em- ployment to about 30 men, and keep 16 horses and 10 wagons. The members of the firm were born in the county of Fer- managli, in the north of Ireland; came to this country when about 16 years old. They commenced as clerks in their present business, and by perseverance and close attention, they were enabled in a few years to start in a small way for themselves, which they kept steadily increasing until they united and formed the present firm, and to-day they are the leading

cash grocers of Brooklyn. Theirs is strictly a cash business, selling no goods on weekly or monthly payments. Having noticed the unfairness of making a customer who paid his bills pay an extra profit for those who did not, they deter- mined when they started in business to sell goods for cash only, to treat every customer alike, rich or poor, honest or dishonest: and this they have carried out to the letter for the past twelve years; and to this, more than anything else, they attribute their success. At the time they commenced, and for a number of years after, the great bulk of the retail grocery trade was done by a system of books or monthly accounts. It was also about that time that the evil effects of extravagance cultivated by the people during and succeeding the war (when money was plenty) began to be felt; money was getting scarcer, business quiet, manufacturers closing down, inen who had been considered good failing in business, all of which worked ruin to the retailer who gave credit, having to increase his profits in order to make up for the many bad debts, and driving his trade to the house which, by selling for cash, could always afford to sell goods at a small profit. As a consequence the business done by each of the present firm of Johnston Brothers increased, whereas a great number of the larger and older firms dwindled out of business.

Appended are the names and addresses of various in- dividuals and firms in Brooklyn connected with the flour and feed, provision and general produce trade.
