J. G. BURNEY & CO.
One of the most progressive and successful
business men in Austin is Mr.
J. G. Burney, who conducts a first-class
grocery store on the corner of Lavaca
and Nineteenth Streets, under the firm
name of J. G. Burney & Co. The firm
is composed of Mr. Burney and Mr. W.
W. Vann, formerly of Kerrville. Mr.
Burney has ever been an enthusiastic
worker for anything that meant improvement
for Austin, and when the
Austin Business League was organized
he was elected the first Secretary. At
the annual election of officers held a
few weeks ago he was re-elected unanimously
to this positon. In accepting
the responsibility and increased labor,
he has shown his civic patriotism to a
large degree. He is considered one of
the League's most enthusiastic and influential
workers, and has but recently
returned from an extended trip through
the North and East, upon which lie
visited a large number of the metropolises,
and in each spoke a glowing word
for Austin.
J. G. Burney & Co.'s store is one of
the finest equipped in the city, and their
trade numbers some of the most fastidious
people. All are well pleased,
however, and in their store is to be
found a large selection of staple and
fancy groceries of all kinds. They handle
the very best, and cater to the highest
class of fancy trade in the city.
All kinds of high-grade canned goods
and like manufactured articles are to
be had at their store. Deliveries are,
promptly made, and particular attention
is paid to telephone orders at all times.
They have a force of efficient clerks who
know and properly attend to the wants
of all customers. The firm has; the
name of having the best dressed show
windows in the city.
Mr. Burney came to Austin in 1897,
and for two years was engaged in the
real estate business here, afterward settling
into the grocery trade, of which
he has made such a decided success. He
is also the owner of a large tract of
Texas land, and has one of the finest
farms in Caldwell county, more than
twenty-five miles from Austin, upon
which he conducts a general merchandise
store. He is recognized as a thorough
business man in every respect, and
is honored as such by the entire businesa
world of the city. He is a director
of the Capital Bank & Trust Co., recently
organized.through their honest and upright dealings
with their patrons, built up a
large real estate and fire insurance business
of which the city of Austin is, and
well might be, proud.
Claims against the State of Texas are
given prompt attention. Payment of
Laxes on land owned by non-residents is
a specialty. Loans on approved securities
negotiated with dispatch, and
money to loan always on hand.
GEORGE P. ASSXANN.
The subject of this sketch is one of
the most prominent mechanics in the
city of Austin. At 112 East Ninth
Street he has a large gun, lock and safe
repairing establishment. Mr. Assmann
learned his trade in Germany, under
finished masters, and came to this country
with a determination to succeed. In
this he has been successful, as his large
clientele in Austin goes to show. He
has been in business in Austin for more
than thirty years, and is one of the
best known persons in the city.
Mr. Assmann can repair any break
in a gun, lock or safe that is repairable,
no matter how complicated. He
is known as a finished workman, and
all of his work is guaranteed to be satisfactory
in every respect. When helpers
are needed he employs only the most
skilled workman, and takes great pride
in the splendid reputation he has built
up in this city. He is a progressive
man in every respect, and as one of
Austin's oldest citizens takes great pride
in the growth that the city has and is
experiencing.
E. P. JORDAN.
Is there anything in specialty photography
that you care to have done? if
there is do not forget that Austin has
one of the best equipped and most artistic
men in the entire South who does
this kind of work. This gentleman is
Mr. E. P. Jordan, whose place of business
is located at 610 Congress Avenue,
over Marsh & Co.'s. Mr. Jordon has an
excellent collection of Austin views and
of views taken during the principal
events that have taken place here recently,
and most of the views in this
edition are from his studio. His scenic,
flashlight and interior work has been
complimented by some of the finest men
in the business. Photos bring memories
in after years, and one can not have
too many. Keep this in mind, and call
up Mr. Jordan by S. W. 1472. He also
does amateur fiininshing work, and has
kodaks for rent. His work on amateur
attempts is of the best, and from his
criticisms the newest amateur is soon
able to get splendid results.
. CARBON & CO.
Staple and fancy groceries and all
kinds of country produce is the line
dealt in by Carson & Co., whose finely
arranged place of business is at 423
and 425 East Sixth Street. Mr. O. A.Carson and Mr. Geo. Munson are the
two partners, and have been established
only since last May. Although in business
less than a year in Austin, they
have. worked up considerable trade andare looked upon as rising young business
men in this community. They
have a well-appointed store, and are
bringing everything to the best business
basis possible.
The stock carried by this firm includes
everything of the finest fancy as
well as staple groceries that the market
affords. Carson & Co. buy and sell all
kinds of country produce, which puts
them in a positon to have the freshest
always on hand.
OTTO J. CEE .
At 1105 East Sixth and 1115 East
Third Street is situated the popular
and well patronized meat markets of
Mr. Otto J. Clements. One would have
to look far and wide, indeed, to find
establishments of this kind which will
surpass that of Mr. Clements, in neatness,
in keeping a full and always fresh
supply on hand of everything that the
careful housewife needs, such as beef,
pork, mutton, sausage, etc., and in
anything that goes to make up the best
business in this line. He always has on
hand a force of expert meat cutters,
who give to the tender and well selected
meats that they prepare that neat and
palatable appearance which only those
are capable of doing who are skilled in
this profession. Mr. Clements' establishments
have ample refrigerator and
storage facilities, and he makes prompt
deliveries of all orders which he receive
at "Live and let live" prices. Mr.
Clements has been identified with many
moves for the good of the city of Austin,
and he well deserves the immense
patronage that the people are giving
him.
LEXP BBEWBILY AGENCY.
Mr. Harry Montgomery is the local
agent for the William J. Lemp famous
brew of beers, although Mr. A. J. ILngermann
is in charge of this district.
Mr. Langermann has agencies in Houston,
Galveston and Austin, but makes
his headquarters in Galveston.
This beer is well known in either keg
or bottles, and is unsurpassed in taste,
brilliancy and flavor. Mr. Langermann,
ably seconded in Austin by Mr. Montgomery,
has done much by his energetic,
reliable and efficient efforts to
spread the fame of the Lemp brew in
this section. Both gentlemen are well
known to every business locality in the
State, and Mr. Montgomery is particularly
popular in Austin, having but recently
been the chief of police of this
city. In that capacity he amply demonstrated
his ability to cope with any contingency,
and to make friends wherever
he went.
The agency in Austin is always supplied
with a fresh lot of the famous
Lemp products, and customers are furnished
daily with various forms of the
brew direct from St. Louis. Deliveriesare prompt and at all times absolutely
