J. It'll fc-, 71 XoMx Water St. The Firm of Steele Avery to Dissolve Partnership. Steele Avery, the book and stationery dealers, are going out of business. This is the oldest firm now doing business in Koch-ester.

Its sign is the oldest advertising Rochester merchandise. What is more, this firm is the oldest book-selling concern out. side of New York. The partners went Into business in 1853. They encountered the panic of 1857, but came out all right.

They had just established themselves on a sound basis when the war broke out. The store then occupied was what is now Sundeilin's jewelry store on State street. The block was owned by General Jacob Gould, a Central-Hudson railway director. Steele Avery's lease expired in 1SC1 and the then young and inexperienced business men didn't know what to do. With the war coming on, many older heads thought there would be no more advantageous time for retiring from business.

The young men asked General Gould about re-leasing the store. It makes no difference, he said. "You can take the store or not. With this war on our hands we will all be bankrupt in a few years. You can have the store for five years with the privilege of five more at the same rental.

The firm was then paying fl, 200 a year for the 6tore. Messrs. Steele Avery released and occupied it for the term indicated. The General's prediction was wrong, but he was the only sufferer. P.ents rose steadily during the next few year3, and before long the store was worth twice what Steele 6t Avery's contract stipulated.

When they finally left the old stand it was at once re-rented for $3, 000. In the meantime Isaac Butts bought the property and Messrs. Steele Avery became his tenants. In conversation with a Democrat and Chronicle reporter, the junior member of the firm in the following words told how Isaac Butts valued paper money One day Mr. Butts came into the store after the rent' he said and we paid him in paper money.

It was during the last year of the war or just after it had closed. Mr. Butts was a Democrat and professed but little confidence in paper money. He took the bills, looked them over father scornfully and then remarked that they weren't worth the paper they were printed on. But they paid the rent just the same.

Mr. Avery then gave some interesting fact's about the introduction of new goods. We were the first to handle photograph albums, he said. We bought our first Bupply on the recommendation of Mrs. W.

F. Cogswell, now dead. She had seen the albums in Sew York city and described them to us. I remember a long conference with my partner about how many we should buy. We finally ordered three.

Mr. Cogswell bought the first one. That was in 1S57. Since that time we have ordered at one time between 6, 000 and $8, 000 worth of albums. A little later we became interested in the croquet set trade.

We sold the first set in this city. It was in 1863. Mrs. L. A.

Ward's and Mrs. Charles Angel's mothers were the purchasers. That trade increased rapidly and we fiually wholesaled the sets, taking the entire product of Scott Lord's factory at Geueseo. We obtained an extensive Western trade and in one year sold 33, 000 sets. The Michigan dealers soon got ahead of us though.

They had more wood and cut down iirices. The partnership of the veteran booksellers will not be dissolved until July 1st. Its history is one of much interest and the firm, so to speak, has become one of the landmarks of the city. PURELY PERSONAL. Dr.
