Robert G Olp
Description
the vast variety of implements and utensils of every description for household and other purposes which are classed under the category of hardware must be such an assortment that the oft quoted expression "from a needle to an anchor" is highly applicable; the house which he heads this article was established about 2 years ago and in this short time has taken rank among the first of its kind in the city; the stock carried is large and varied and occupies a brick building 50X100 feet 2 stories high; this is furnished with all the necessary appurtenances for facilitating the business; ten employees are kept constantly busy to fill the demands of the trade; Mr Olp is one of our youngest businessmen being only 29 years of age so his success speaks well for him; he enjoys a reputation for sound business principles and honorable enterprise, reflecting the greatest credit upon himself and meriting the esteem and confidence of his fellows
