Elliott & Carter.
Few things are more delectable than
fresh tender meats, and of the many
markets engaged in this traffic in
Charlottesville none is more inviting
to the eye or contains a larger or
fresher stock or controls a better trade
than the one conducted by Elliott &
Carter at No. 120 East Main street.
The store is a large one containing
about 1,575 square feet of floor space,
and is one of the most handsomely
fitted in the city, the counters being of
quartered oak and covered with the
finest parian marble. In addition to
carrying a complete line of fresh and
cured meats, sausage, lard, etc., they
have a fine assortment of staple and
fancy groceries. In the meat line they
are unsurpassed, and their patrons are
assured of only the freshest and best
dressed meat, which never leaves

the hands of the concern from the
hoof until it reaches the consumer.
Both members of the firm are experts
in their line, and have had many
years of experience. Mr. Elliott,
senior member of the firm, was born in
Albemarle County at the foot of the
Blue Ridge Mountains, and after completing
his educational course engaged
in farming. Twelve years ago he
came to this city and opened a meat
market and grocery store under the
firm name of W. T. Eliiott & Company
and this continued until the
formation of this one. Mr. Elliott is
well known in fraternal circles being a
member of the Odd Fellows, Maccabees
and Junior Order of American Mechanics.
Mr. A. G. Carter, the junior
member, is also a native of Albemarle
County and came here twelve years
ago to accept a position with Mr.
Elliott. He remained in this capacity
until about five years ago when he
purchased an interest in the concern
and the present firm was organized.
