seasons etc. While the prices are low
the goods are of the finest quality, and
the firm has a large patronage in all
its departments. The concern was
established by Mr. A. C. Brechin in
1870 and was conducted under his
name until 1900, when his son Mr. A.
Mr. Brechin was taken into partnership
and the style changed to its
present one. The elder Mr. Brechin
was born in Scotland and came to this
country in 1865. He first located in
Philadelphia, where he engaged in
business and remained there five years.
In 1870 he came to Charlottesville and
has since resided here. He is a prominent
member of the City Council. Mr.
A. M. Brechin, was born in this city
and entered the business after completing
his education. Both gentlemen
are highly esteemed by their
fellow citizens and have an enviable
reputation for sterling character and
honest business methods.
