Geo. T. Harlan.
The general merchandise line is one
which has added largely to the welfare
of Charlottesville and among the
many dealers engaged in it none ranks
higher than Mr. George T. Harlan,
whose place of business is located at
No. 600 Monticello avenue and is one
of the largest of its kind in the city.

Harlan's Progressive Grocery.
The stock is most complete and contains
a full line of staple and fancy
groceries, meats, shoes, notions, glassware,
dry goods, grain, mill feed, etc.
The store presents a most inviting
appearance being kept in the cleanest
manner possible. A feature which Mr.
Harlan has introduced are the "silent
salesmen" showcases, the most expensive
manufactured and rarely found
in stores outside of the largest cities.
The stock is displayed in a tempting
manner and adds greatly to the general
beauty of the place. Mr. Harlan was
born in Albemarle County, near
Scottsville and was educated in this
section. After finishing his studies he
entered the mercantile line as a clerk
and by close application to business
soon won promotion. Four years ago
he opened a business of his own at the
present site. He made it a point to
purchase only the best goods and
through his low prices and his fair
dealings with patrons soon built up a
splendid business until today no man
in the commercial walks of life is more
highly esteemed by his fellow citizens.
Mr. Harlan is well known fraternally
being a member of the Junior Order of
American Mechanics, Odd Fellows
and its higher branch, the Encampment.
