L. O. Gianniny.

A leading and representative house
in its special line is the enterprise conducted
by Mr. L. O. Gianniny at 611
West Main street. This gentleman
has, by reason of the manifest superiority
and purity of his goods, secured
a large and rapidly increasing patronage.
His establishment is in all respects
admirably conducted and first
class. The appointments are handsome
and the goods are noted for their
choice flavor, purity and quality.
This is the headquarters for all that is
choicest and best in the way of foreign
and domestic, fancy and staple groceries,
wines, liquors and cigars, a leading
specialty being made of choice old
wines. In addition to the goods named
below Mr. Gianniny carries full lines
of dry goods, boots, shoes etc., and no
firm in the city fills orders in a better,
quicker or more accurate manner.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
goods are the very best in the city
they are sold at the most reasonable

prices and are delivered to any section
of the town free of charge. Mr. Gianniny
is a native of Albemarle County,
and is a descendent of probably the
oldest Italian family in Virginia,
who came to this section in the days of
Thomas Jefferson, Mr. Gianniny is a
self made man in every respect. At
the age of eleven years he determined to
make his own way in the world, and
secured a position as errand boy in a
grocery house. He worked hard,
saved money and in time began business
for himself. Fraternally Mr.
Gianniny is a prominent member of
the Elks.
