One of the leading business men of
our city, and one who has added materially
to its prosperity is Mr. J. Tyler
Jackson who conducts three separate
and distinct business enterprises and
has a lucrative patronage in all of
them. He sells sewing machines and
typewriters and handles fire, health
and accident and casualty insurance,
making a leader of the latter-mentioned
branch of business His offices
are located in East Fourth street
(North) near Main street and contain
a fine display in the goods handled.
In the insurance branch Mr. Jackson
represents the Fidelity and Casualty in
the health and accident and casualty
line, and in fire insurance the Hamburg-Bremen
of New York, West
chester of New York, Petersburg Savings
and Insurance Company of Petersburg,
Va., Continental of New York,
and the Williamsburg City, of New
York. These companies are among
the largest and most reliable in the
country, and have combined assets of
many millions of dollars. During his
career in this line Mr. Jackson has
placed many large risks and is conceded
to be one of the best posted men
on insurance in the Old Dominion,
while hardly any single agent in the
South can compare with his business.
In sewing machines he handles the
"New Home", "White" and "Domestic"
and carries all their parts and
appliances, while in typewriters he
sells the "Columbia Barlock" and
all necessary accessories. He has been
prominently identified with our commercial
center since 1865, and enjoys
an enviable reputation as a man of
high business ideals and principles.
He was born in Fairfax county and
came to this city forty years ago. Ten
years later he entered the sewing machine
and insurance business and later
added typewriters, and the success he
has attained is evidenced by his large
custom.
