have built up a trade in Clarksville that would justly make other merchants envious. It was about the first of October, 1896, when they opened a jewelry store where they are, carrying a small stock and increasing it as their business demanded, until now they carry five times as large a stock as when they embarked in business. Quarles Bros. always pay the closest attention to even the smallest detaila when the interest- of their customers require it, and there is not a. more clever or accommodating firm to be found any where than this one.
The large increase in their business demanded that more convenient a safe be used and accordingly they lately purchased a large Herring- HallMarvin safe for the storing of jewelry and precious stones. The store is always a pretty sight to see and the proprietors at all times accord visitors a warm welcome, ever endeavoring to cause every thing to be pleasant for their customers and friends.
