C. N. Bolser.
The old stand formerly conducted
by Mr. F. G. Hicks at the corner of
Main and Fifth streets has just been
purchased by Mr. C. N. Bolser who is
[ILLUSTRATION]
well known to most of our people
having been in business here for
several years. Under Mr. Bolser's
management the establishment is
promised a most successful career and
there is no reason why it should not,
for the proprietor is a man of sterling
character and is fully possessed with
plenty of pluck and energy qualifications
that are so essential to the business
man of the present day. The
stock of choice foreign and domestic
wines, liquors and cigars here cannot
be duplicated by any saloon in this
section of Virginia. Mr. Bolser was
born near Staunton, in the Valley of
Virginia and was formerly connected
with the C. & O. Railroad. By perseverence
he gradually worked his way
from an ordinary track man to a
responsible position in the Paymasters
department. After leaving the railway
service he established himself in the
grocery and meat business. Mr.
Bolser intends making many improvements
and it will not be long
before his place will be one of the
most comfortable refreshment resorts
to be found in the State. A leading
specialty will be made of "Sherwood"
"Yellowstone" and "Silver Leaf" old
rye whiskies and "Melrose". Mr.
Bolser has the reputation among the
"boys" of being a royal good fellow.
